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.

Bumping what you said, McGowan:

Speaking of the Fourth Amendment:

Why is it a violation of the Fourth Amendment that cries to heaven for vengeance, if the CIA, FBI, or NSA listens to the telephone call of a non-citizen who is a terrorist,

but NOT a violation of the Fourth Amendment if the government grabs my COMPLETE MEDICAL HISTORY, and scans and digitizes it, and uses it to take control of my medical care?

Congress can apparently stretch any statement to cover any cause they see fit. Maybe the problem is with the politicians?

Yes, and as long as We, the People continue to believe campaign rhetoric and continue to reelect them it will continue.

Great news! I highly doubt that my state (NM) will do anything like that as long as that pig Richardson is still our king.

I have a question that maybe someone can help me with? IF a state secedes that state won't need the Sin_ators and congressmen/women in DC any more will they? Can you see where I'm going with this? LOL! What better way to dump the traitors who have sold us down the river!! THAT would be hilarious! ;o)

Why do I have a very bad feeling that THIS is what Biden was talking about when he said that Zero would be tested and he would be depending upon his minions to keep order?

This is a direct result of allowing stupid people to vote. I am not a racist, I am against non-education. We must educate the voters and find some way to correct the stupidity of the liberal mindset. And it may hurt a bit.

Mine isn’t on it and I emailed them and asked them what it means and why we aren’t on the list.

A waste of time. Federal Courts would just declare the new amendment unconstitutional.

So you are saying we are helpless sheep and we roll over and die?

Obama bleating incessantly about a perceived crisis

That crisis shi* is a scare tactic. To make them move fast and pass it as more and more people are turning against it. He’s panicking. Rahm said never let a crisis go to waste. what a bunch of POS’s they are.

It is a violation. They don’t care about the Constitution and the time is NOW to let them know that we do.
