South Carolina is taking another step. I wish other states would climb aboard.

“Send a message.” How about sending a real one by rejecting the “grant money” strings that cause them to dance so merrily to the puppetmaster feds’ wills?

Gee, when I was in school, the states didn’t have to do this . . . . . . there was already a measure that the federal government had that did the same thing . . . . . . . . it was called the 10th Amendment to the Constitution of the United States of America.

Whatever happened to that Amendment??

HOWEVER - if THIS is what it takes to get the Congress’ attention . . . OR if seceeding from the union comes next, a LOT of liberals either better learn to use a gun or else learn to live as conservatives who don’t rely on or depend on a nanny state government to take care of them.

I’m locked and loaded if it comes to that!!

The outcome will be different THIS time, however!! Way to go SC!

Thanks neal1960!

Folks, if I'm reading this article correctly(advancing age and all), it appears SC's State House AND Senate have both given their blessings to a 10th Amendment Resolution. Which means(see previous caveat) they've jumped ahead of Oklahoma as being the first to pass a resolution in both chambers.

This ping list is becoming higher volume than I had initially anticipated it might(somewhat to my dismay). I'm doing my best to keep the pings to articles news or new developments re 10th Amendment issues. If any of you don't have the time or inclination to continue getting these pings, just say so, so...

Click the 10th Amendment button for articles tagged with keyword "10thamendment". There is a "statesrights" link atop the forum page.



Please ~ping~ me to articles relating to the 10th Amendment/States Rights so I can employ the pinger.

I continue to add names to the ping list as I run across others participating on similar threads. If you want off the list just say so.

If so what is step #2: WAIT FOR THE FEDS TO VIOLATE THE 10th & the rest of the Amendments?

Then what: (First you need a Gov&Atty. Gen that will ENFORCE) the resolution,

Then what? You have the Gov order the State Employees to not enforce federal laws, do you send in State Sherriffs to keep federal agents from interfering in business and with individual citizens of those states..!?

I think Step #2 is to call back your state National Guard Units to protect the citizens of your state, and call for a supplementary state government organized Militia to supplement the National Guard made up of all able bodied males of your state (of course entry would be voluntary)!

Just like in December of 1860, South Carolina will get the ball rolling.

Now if they can only pass a resolution saying individuals citizens should have more power of their daily lives than STATE government....
