Palin to feds: Alaska is sovereign state
WorldNetDaily ^ | 07-20-09 | Chelsea Schilling

Gov. Sarah Palin has signed a joint resolution declaring Alaska's sovereignty under the Tenth Amendment to the Constitution – and now 36 other states have introduced similar resolutions as part of a growing resistance to the federal government.

Just weeks before she plans to step down from her position as Alaska governor, Palin signed House Joint Resolution 27, sponsored by state Rep. Mike Kelly on July 10, according to a Tenth Amendment Center report. The resolution "claims sovereignty for the state under the Tenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States over all powers not otherwise enumerated and granted to the federal government by the Constitution of the United States."

Maybe she should intern for 6 months as a community organizer, then she’s ready for a Presidential run.

Of course, I don’t think she really wants to “sell protection” to small businesses in the poorer neighborhoods.

"I’ll believe it when I see tit"

Slippin' Freudian, much? ;^)

All kidding aside, I think we're going to see Sarah unleashed. She is ratings gold and will get the coverage. I would be surprised if she even runs for office in the next couple years, instead, trying to take the country back.

A resolution. Where’s the beef?!

It is like the alcoholic saying he hates the bartender in the morning only to be back later in the night.

Maybe they should file suit against the Fed govt for forcing the state to enter the health care business similar to New York v United States 505 U.S. 144 (1992).

That would make me proud.

36 have introduced. How many have been passed and signed?

And among those that have been signed, how many states will ignore unconstitutional federal mandates that are passed?

This is a positive start. But it has to go a great deal further to be anything more than a little something to make us feel better.

I agree. State Sovereignty is really the only hope we have right now, but, to quote John Paul Jones: "We have not yet begun to fight".

I'm eager to see a state actually push back and challenge the federal government. I hope I don't have to wait too long to see the fight begin.

Sadly, none.

I think we should get a list of politicians who quit in order to pursue higher office.

I think John Edwards quit his Senate seat to run for president. I do prefer that as opposed to Obama who barely worked a day in the Senate because he was gearing up for a presidential run the whole time.
