Can someone please explain to me why these states are doing this?

I really want to know, and while everyone is chatting about this, no-one is explaining the logic behind it, and what it really means.

[Axeslinger]

me too! It’s entirely possible/likely my “idea” is anything but original!

“Finally it should be noted, that if South Carolina tried to make it on it’s own it would be bankrupt in about a year.”

The Federal Gooberment has already bankrupted the US. So what’s your point?

[Mojave]

Do you know nothing about Gov. Mark Sanford? He has been the most vocal critic of the nonstimulus bill.

Is he claiming personal sovereignty? Does he think he's governor or king?

I love it.

Let me guess... your paychecks come from Washington DC.

Their Senator, Lindsey Graham, already has his hand out for more.

“COLUMBIA — U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham said Monday that as much as $700 billion more will be needed to address the nation’s banking and housing problems that he said are at the root of the country’s economic decline.”

Now these 22 states need to quit sending money to Washington and quit taking money from there.

[HonestConservative]

I love it.

I love it.

I love it.

I’ll be stealing that idea and giving you credit of course, if you do not mind.

“U.S. Rep. Jim Clyburn of Columbia, House majority whip, included a provision that would allow state legislators to bypass governors to seek the money if a governor doesn’t request the funding.”

‘bout time. Good job, SC!

[Just mythoughts]

Who announced this? Jefferson Davis?

Your 'Primary Colors' (title of a book) are showing.

No, my paycheck comes from China.

[Repeal 16-17]

As things stand right now it looks like Oklahoma, Washington, Hawaii, Missouri, Arizona, New Hampshire, Georgia, California, Michigan and Montana will all definitely consider sovereignty bills this year. They may be joined by Arkansas, Colorado, Idaho, Indiana, Alaska, Kansas, Alabama, Nevada, Maine and Pennsylvania where legislators have pledged to introduce similar bills.

I'm glad that is happening, but how many will pass a sovereignty resolution? Until one of these resolutions is passed, this is all just talk.

[FlashBack]

OK, I’m ready to move to SC!!!!

[Mojave]

Until one of these resolutions is passed, this is all just talk.

Yep.
