Oklahoma Republican state Sen. Randy Brogdon NEW YORK – As the Obama administration attempts to push through Congress a nearly $1 trillion deficit spending plan that is weighted heavily toward advancing typically Democratic-supported social welfare programs, a rebellion against the growing dominance of federal control is beginning to spread at the state level.
So far, eight states have introduced resolutions declaring state sovereignty under the Ninth and Tenth Amendment to the Constitution, including Arizona, Hawaii, Montana, Michigan, Missouri, New Hampshire, Oklahoma and Washington.
Analysts expect that in addition, another 20 states may see similar measures introduced this year, including Alaska, Alabama, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Kansas, Nevada, Maine and Pennsylvania.
"What we are trying to do is to get the U.S. Congress out of the state's business," Oklahoma Republican state Sen. Randy Brogdon told WND.
"Congress is completely out of line spending trillions of dollars over the last 10 years putting the nation into a debt crisis like we've never seen before," Brogdon said, arguing that the Obama stimulus plan is the last straw taxing state patience in the brewing sovereignty dispute.
"This particular 111th Congress is the biggest bunch of over-reachers and underachievers we've ever had in Congress," he said.
"A sixth-grader should realize you can't borrow money to pay off your debt, and that is the Obama administration's answer for a stimulus package," he added.
The Ninth Amendment reads, "The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people."
The Tenth Amendment specifically provides, "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."

ReplyDeleteJerome Corsi is a bad journalist (who supported Bush/Cheney in Iran fear-mongering) so I would look into this one skeptically. It is interesting though.
ReplyDeleteMaybe the people will wake up and stop the massive corruption throughout all government agencies. Whoever started this state sovereignty deal, goo job!
ReplyDeleteBetter start listening to Alex Jones ! He has been trying to warn us for over 10 years. www.infowars.com

Why don't all 50 states just secede together and let D.C. piss in the wind?
ReplyDeleteWe need to do something and fast before they make us the North American union and flush the constitution and bill of rights down the privy. Just look up, (U.S. sends 800 billion AMEROS to China). Here is something else to chew on comrade

ReplyDeletethese ARE difficult times, posting articles by dubious and discredited individuals is not wise.
