A RESOLUTION affirming States’ rights based on Jeffersonian principles.
Whereas the Constitution of the State of New Hampshire, Part 1, Article 7 declares that the people of this State have the sole and exclusive right of governing themselves as a free, sovereign, and independent State; and do, and forever hereafter shall, exercise and enjoy every power, jurisdiction, and right, pertaining thereto, which is not, or may not hereafter be, by them expressly delegated to the United States of America in congress assembled; and
Whereas the Constitution of the State of New Hampshire, Part 2, Article 1 declares that the people inhabiting the territory formerly called the province of New Hampshire, do hereby solemnly and mutually agree with each other, to form themselves into a free, sovereign and independent body-politic, or State, by the name of The State of New Hampshire; and
Whereas the State of New Hampshire when ratifying the Constitution for the United States of America recommended as a change, “First That it be Explicitly declared that all Powers not expressly & particularly Delegated by the aforesaid are reserved to the several States to be, by them Exercised;” and
Whereas the other States that included recommendations, to wit Massachusetts, New York, North Carolina, Rhode Island and Virginia, included an identical or similar recommended change; and
Whereas these recommended changes were incorporated as the ninth amendment, the enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people, and the tenth amendment, the powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people, to the Constitution for the United States of America; now, therefore, be it

Define "taser[ing] the feral [I assume you mean "federal"] government."
. . . says the person playing the political equivalent of Dungeons and Dragons on a chat board . . .
Dear God, I wish you had signed up here years ago.
You might consider what happened at San Jacinto. "Remember the Alamo" was the battle cry that helped turn the tide for Texas independence. I suppose the "Live Free of Die" thingy is just a quaint, outdated anachronism??? But, I repeat myself again...
No, my NH property taxes are going to NH.
It's sorta like watching Ernest T. Bass tossing cyber-rocks at the windows of Henry Cabot Lodge, it is.
I think most of these rednecks here are simply jealous that they don't have a song about their home state sung by the Bee Gees.
Ok...do you live in NH or MA?
You have to be kidding, right?

[I assume you mean "federal"] government."
Nope, meant what I said; same difference.
Right, LOL.
“That any Act by the Congress of the United States, Executive Order of the President of the United States of America or Judicial Order by the Judicatories of the United States of America which assumes a power not delegated to the government of United States of America by the Constitution for the United States of America and which serves to diminish the liberty of the any of the several States or their citizens shall constitute a nullification of the Constitution for the United States of America by the government of the United States of America. Acts which would cause such a nullification include, but are not limited to:
I. Establishing martial law or a state of emergency within one of the States comprising the United States of America without the consent of the legislature of that State.
II. Requiring involuntary servitude, or governmental service other than a draft during a declared war, or pursuant to, or as an alternative to, incarceration after due process of law.
III. Requiring involuntary servitude or governmental service of persons under the age of 18 other than pursuant to, or as an alternative to, incarceration after due process of law.
IV. Surrendering any power delegated or not delegated to any corporation or foreign government.
V. Any act regarding religion; further limitations on freedom of political speech; or further limitations on freedom of the press.
VI. Further infringements on the right to keep and bear arms including prohibitions of type or quantity of arms or ammunition; and
That should any such act of Congress become law or Executive Order or Judicial Order be put into force, all powers previously delegated to the United States of America by the Constitution for the United States shall revert to the several States individually. Any future government of the United States of America shall require ratification of three quarters of the States seeking to form a government of the United States of America and shall not be binding upon any State not seeking to form such a government; and
That copies of this resolution be transmitted by the house clerk to the President of the United States, each member of the United States Congress, and the presiding officers of each State’s legislature.”
Did New Hampshire just thrown down the gauntlet?
Puleeze don't give Hemingway's Goat that much credit.
Spoken like a true, er, patriot? Another simpleton flinging ad hominems is such a drag.
1. The cut off the blood supply theory, i.e., a massive movement to stop paying Federal income taxes.
2. A mass movement to elect non-Democrats and non-Republicans to Federal office.
3. Repeal of the 17th Amendment.
4. A mass movement in this country for people to become more involved in the political process; lure people from the bread and circus to the things that really matter. I read a blog post today that said, essentially, "I know more about Paris Hilton's cervix than I do about the way my country is run." That statement speaks volumes.
We may have our intellectually challenged UV-overdosed thorax individuals BUT ... we can shoot. And we've got a lot more industry and a lot fewer gun regulations than yankee states.
Can you walk into a gun store, pick up 10 pistols, pay cash and show nothing but a driver's license and walk right out?
Don't think so.
So what? I can walk into any crack house in Lawrence, MA, and pick up a truckload of AKs for cash . . . and I don't even need to show my driver's license.
We're not paying any less, either. Our taxes send your kids to school. We get nothing in the deal. But we're Massholes.
Well, that probably tells me there won't be much to work with, but be that as is may...

Har! Just as I thought. You are going to organize these mass movements, how? What you have before you is a turnkey mass movement and you can't even see it. The STATES should be OUR guardians against the feral government. THEY are guilty of dereliction of duty. THEY need to become the mass movement. Can't you see that???
