Resolutions are a great first step. What's next? Maybe firearms freedom act, health care freedom act, etc?

Guess we better send Crist a box of Depends . . . .

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

Good news. Now we’ll see what follows. It’s up to the people of Florida now.

I live in Florida, and at this time I am about ready to see my state leave the union. The federal government of the USA is a malignant and aggressive cancer. If the cancer cannot be cut from the body, the perhaps the body should cut itself from the cancer.

Wow, someone must have seen my Facebook post re: this.

Socialist Security is a violation of the Constitution. So is Medicare/Medicaid.

Suggest this book to all: “The Dirty Dozen” by Levy and Mellor. It’s about 12 Supreme Court decisions which undermine the Constitution.

All RIGHGHT, Florida!!!

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?

[Roger_Wildcat]

It's about time, geez.

[bustinchops]

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

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

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.
You can find contact info for the legislature here: http://myfloridahouse.gov/Sections/Representatives/representatives.aspx
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.
