Jefferson City, Missouri 01-13-2010
"Today, January 13th, 2010 is the start of the new revolution. What year is it? 2010, a perfect time to reaffirm our 10th Amendment State Sovereignty", proclaimed State Representative Brian Nieves to the reverberating cheer of a standing room only crowd. Consisting of hundreds of citizens packed into the State Capital Rotunda, the Show Me State Sovereignty Rally in Jefferson City was a day of grass roots activism in the State Capital Building.
The rally, organized by the Missouri Sovereignty Project, Tea Party Patriots, Concerned Women of America, and the Eagle Forum is a continuation of citizen involvement and educational opportunities that empower people by teaching the Constitution and Bill of Rights.
Citizens turned activists circulated sovereignty support cards to our State Senators and Representatives throughout the capital seeking further legislative support of Senate Joint Resolution No. 25 and House Joint Resolution No. 57
The resolutions will submit to the voters of Missouri a Constitutional Amendment that in part states :Section 85 1. A law or rule shall not force, directly or indirectly any person, employer, or health care provider to participate in any health care system. 2. A person or employer may pay directly for lawful health care services and shall not be required to pay penalties or fines for paying directly for lawful health care services. Lines 15-24 To preserve the freedom of citizens of this state to provide for their health care, no law or rule shall compel directly or indirectly or through penalties or fines any person, employer, or health care provider to participate in any health care system.
In essence, these Joint Resolutions are telling the Federal Government that they will not compel Missouri citizens to participate in any health care programs as a matter of free choice. These Joint Resolutions have the support of over 30 State Senators and 74 State Representatives, many of who stood to thunderous applause on the stage in support of Sen. Jane Cunningham, Rep Tim Jones, Sen Jim Lambke, and Rep. Brian Nieves who have introduced the resolutions.
Citizens and participants were also directed to sign a petition limiting Eminent Domain abuses. Then participants were encouraged to attend workshops By Dave Roland, Show Me Institute "An Arsenal for Liberty, State and Federal Constitutional Protections for Health Care Reform". A workshop was conducted by Paul Curtman on "Constitutional Principles of State Sovereignty" and a third workshop by Kerry Messer, Missouri Family Network on "Communicating Effectively in a Political Windstorm". Each workshop was standing room only, demonstrating the resolve of Missouri citizens that we will stand up against constitutional abuses by the rogue Federal Government.
All those people and they weren’t giving out free cigarettes?
There is hope for the Show Me state.
Please ~ping~ me to articles relating to the 10th Amendment/States Rights so I can engage the pinger.
I've stopped monitoring threads and unilaterally adding names to the ping list, so if you want on or off the list just say so.

Any freepers in attendance? Report needed for those unable to attend.
Obama's shorts are brown? I guess with everything that's happening, it doesn't surprise me. And why would Missouri want them? Oh, brown shirts!
What information would you require in addition to what I posted?
There was a handful of known Freepers in attendance, including myself.
Look up executive Order Public Law 110-181 of the National Defense Authorization Act issued Jan 11, 2010 that establishes a Governors council who report directly to the Secretary of Defense?. Why would anyone issue such an order if they were not scared of the citizenry?
The 10th amendment revolution will begin in Omaha this weekend. http://www.cca1789.com/index.htm

The above should help. I live next door to NE. Happy to see what is going on in MO.
Missouri House passed a similar resolution last year.
But it died in the Senate.
This year I believe there will be a more concerted effort to pass a resolution. But remember, resolutions are not law nor are they binding to any law. They are symbolic resistance.
Our Freedom of Choice in Health Care Resolution, which if passed by both House and Senate,goes to a state wide vote in November 2010, amends the Missouri Constitution to tell the Federal Government to back off, we aren’t enforcing your mandate in Missouri.
Resolutions are symbolic but We are shooting over the USS Federal Government’s Bow and marking our territory.
Texas has a nullification rally on Saturday, lots of buzz and buses headed that direction. I hope there is a large turnout:
