States' Rights

Posted by PeterGemma on 06/17/09 6:19 PM

The federal government has lost its legitimacy: ranging from its inability and unwillingness to stem the tide of illegal immigration to failing to deal with the severe economic-financial crisis it helped create. Now, many states are reasserting sovereignty over their own affairs. The Tenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution provides this option as the Founding Fathers wisely intended. Is this a trend of things to come in the midst of the United States' government's insolvency, and the loss of affection the people have for central planners and bureaucrats in Washington, D.C.?

Here are some encouraging developments ...

Florida Sovereignty - HM 19 - Limiting the Scope and Exercise of Federal Power

Posted by TJLawJX on 07/08/09 1:04 PM

I know I am a little late on this, however please note that on July 1 several Florida State Representatives introduced a piece a State legislation that asserts its 10th Amendment right.

This is very exciting and good news indeed! Now everyone in Florida should contact their elected State Officials and ask them to support HM 19.

_______________________________

" Florida State Represenatives Workman and Plakon, along with co-sponsors Dorworth, Eisnaugle, Kelly, Precourt, and Tobia introduced House Memorial 19 (HM19), which "Urges Congress to honor provisions of U. S. Constitution & U. S. Supreme Court case law which limit scope & exercise of federal power." (h/t David Reid)

The goal of the memorial is to serve "as a notice and a demand to the Federal Government...to cease and desist, effective immediately, from issuing mandates that are beyond the scope of [their] constitutionally delegated powers."

Florida is now the 37th state where such a resolution has been introduced. So far, seven states have had both houses of their legislature approve a sovereignty resolution, while three states have rejected them."
