I may be there before you.

It’s way past time for states to use their given rights.

Window-dressing. We’re all under the control of the feds, including Congress and the senate.

‘Ya know... I don’t seem to recall any other recent Presidencies that have resulted in multiple States taking steps to reaffirm their rights and push back against the insanity of the Federal Gov’t.

I also don’t seem recall any other recent Presidencies that resulted in protests across the Nation (Tea Parties) as a result of the Federal Gov’t.

All within less than six months of this Obamma debacle. Stunning.

Health care is not a federal issue.

Good. Perhaps more of this will send a message to those jerks in DC, that they can call themselves leaders until the sun burns out, but if We the People refuse to follow, they are leaders of nothing.

“Window-dressing. We’re all under the control of the feds, including Congress and the senate.”

Agree. The last time that I checked, it wasn’t up to the states to decide which federal laws to comply with. The only option that could possibly remove a state from government-run health care was the option that the governor of Texas mentioned earlier this year...and you all saw how that went over.
