Florida is now the 37th state where such a resolution has been introduced. So far, seven states have had both houses of their legislature approve a sovereignty resolution, while three states have rejected them.

Got a list of the others states?

It's about time, geez.

I agree, but wish you could state it without racist inuendo. Try the term African Americaniggle.

It’s a start. Someone had to go first. The point is being made.

“The states are a little late.FDR sealed their fate in 1933.”

Maybe, but we could also look at this as FDR sealed the fed’s fate in 1933.

Crist has been emasculated. He won’t sign it.

This Republic died when Lincoln attacked the south.

Wow! And here I thought I was alone on FR in thinking this. I've always held back on what I think of Lincoln out of respect for the northerners who revere him.
Washington is, and will remain, my favorite Prez, closely followed by RR.

It will be a long wait. The Florida Legislature doesn't meet again until March 2010, and then only for 60 days.
Floridians can contact their own legislators and ask them to sign on as co-sponsors— the more there are, the more likely leadership will consider hearing it. So far, it's mostly freshmen and junior members. Senior members have to realize people WANT this before they will take the leap.

email is most effective- be polite, sign your name and town. Depending on where you live, you may even get a reply.
Get involved- you CAN make a difference.

When people are no longer permitted to choose their own form of government, which is what the South wanted, it is nothing but oppression. You can use all the euphemisms that you want, but oppression is still oppression. When Lincoln decided to enforce the view that a state has no rights other than what the federal government allows it to have, America became an empire, not a republic. America, as it was intended by the Founders, was lost. The Supreme Court, with its “living constitution” approach, has closed any hopes of ever returning to the original intent of the Declaration of Independence or of the Constitution.
