We are working hard here in Idaho to reclaim our sovereignty also. Do the Neocons on AMHD think this is a bad idea? I am sure you do so, I would like to hear why.
By the way Oklahoma, I am proud of you and my hat is off as I bow down before you.

A Joint Resolution claiming sovereignty under the
Tenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United
States over certain powers; serving notice to the
federal government to cease and desist certain
mandates; and directing distribution.
WHEREAS, the Tenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United
States reads as follows:
"The powers not delegated to the United States by the
Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to
the States respectively, or to the people."; and
WHEREAS, the Tenth Amendment defines the total scope of federal
power as being that specifically granted by the Constitution of the
United States and no more; and
WHEREAS, the scope of power defined by the Tenth Amendment means
that the federal government was created by the states specifically
to be an agent of the states; and

WHEREAS, today, in 2008, the states are demonstrably treated as
agents of the federal government; and
WHEREAS, many federal mandates are directly in violation of the
Tenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States; and

some now pending from the present administration and from Congress
may further violate the Constitution of the United States.

Last month I heard another state is considering doing the same thing. They said they would no longer be a part of the USA if they take away gun rights. I think it was Wyoming.
I have been wanting to move to Az but seems like I am stuck where I am and waiting to see which states will not follow all these laws taking away our rights. I will be ready as soon as I know for sure which ones are for real on that!

I am in sympathy and support states asserting their 10th amendment perogatives . What has this to do with neocons?

If you don't know, (which you don't,) then little ole me can't tell you. I don't watch FAUX news tom. I get my news from many sources, sift thru it and still wind up confused. Now that's a shame.

tomder55

well neocons are normally connected to foreign affairs so I don't see where 10th amendment considerations come into play . [for the record ;I spend much more time watching MSNBC when I watch televison at all if that has any bearing on this ] Why don't you with your ecelectic sourcing answer my question ?I would respond to your request for clarification.

Works for me, too and I also fail to see how this is strictly a neocon issue. Seems Oklahoma's beef is with the feds, period, "a number of proposals from previous administrations and some now pending from the present administration and from Congress." Previous administrations and congress implies a lot of contempt for Democrat policies as well.

Hello States Righters:

Does the State of Washington have the right to legalize marijuana? Does the state of California have the right to legalize gay marriage?

States rights are NOT all about abortion.

I have been saying they should make California, Washington and some other liberal counties and states everything the liberals want with all the rights they want and the more conservative states with the rights they want. Then they can see what states prosper and what ones fall apart.

Washington has a medical marijuana law doesn't it ? I told you the problem with the California law. The fact is that people from all over the country are going there to get their Calif."marriage "license and then will return to their own state to challenge their States laws in court.

Do the people of California have a right to decide it ? They said no and the court said yes.

ex, this was one was about the whole shootin' match, not just abortion, and seems to have been prompted over immigration laws.
