New Hampshire legisature ^

Posted on 02/04/2009 7:03:19 AM PST by freedom lives

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

NH has succeeded in getting the attention of Americans, including a lot of freepers. Ears are perked up. “What are they doing”?

Do yall know what they are righteously upset about?

Didn’t Ohio pass, or propose, a similar bill last year, something about sovereignty of the state?

And Montana I think discussed independence issues as well.

When a state succeeds, it’s called succession.

No, when a state succeeds, it's called success.

This is exactly what I’ve been thinking lately, that if the fedgov insists on treating the constitution as a piece of toilet paper, then we have no right to consider it binding on ourselves. That the fedgov has no natural right to rule us, that they do so solely at the point of a gun, as a hostile entity holding the citizens of the several states as hostages. And that secession is a right that we may exercise if and when we figure out a way to succeed at it.

I read the Russian diplomatic corps is reporting to Moscow that the US stands a 55:45 chance of disintegration by 2011.

Just because it hasn’t happened before (which it actually has, but not in our lifetimes), doesn’t mean it won’t.

I imagine this is part of the Free State Project. The Libertarians cooked up this scheme to choose a state, New Hampshire as it happens, and then have as many of them move there as possible and attempt to influence and eventually control the state government, and force it into libertarian principles. Sounds like they’re making some progress.

More Power To Them.

“And the point of their bill is... what?”

Seems like a good point to me. States’ rights are minimalized by the left and rinos. the fed government doesn’t have the authority to do half the things it does

some states haven’t ratified the income tax, for instance

Well, if “cess” is what you find in a “cesspool,” then “suck cess” becomes a rather unpleasant and unsanitary instruction.

Ok, the “Yankees” are going to secede this time? Does that mean we southerners get to rampage thru the rust belt yelling remember “Gettysburg”? Actually, let me be the first to say it; don’t bother with secession, you are henceforth kicked out of the union. (the opposite of session). Go, just go.....
