The dow will break 7,000 tomorrow or Wednesday, then 2 weeks to break 6,000. There is only weak support at the 7,000 level.

[Radix]

Awesome.

Some of us Citizens are still actually represented by a few folks with spines.

[optiguy]

Very true.

[HoosierHawk]

Has anyone told our US senators about this?

/s

[Earthdweller]

LOL..

[hoosiermama]

IMO both the SoS and Ag are doing a fine job....Taking their time to get it right!

[hoosiermama]

It’s time to start the “Bye Bye Bayh” compaign! Can we get Pence of Daniels to run against him?

Whereas , The Tenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States specifically provides that, “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 ”;

Whereas , The Tenth Amendment defines the total scope of federal power as being those powers specifically granted to it by the Constitution of the United States and no more;

Whereas , Federalism is the constitutional division of powers between the national and state governments and is widely regarded as one of America 's most valuable contributions to political science;

Whereas, James Madison, “the father of the Constitution, ” said, “The powers delegated to the federal government are few and defined. Those which are to remain in the state governments are numerous and indefinite. The former will be exercised principally on external objects, [such] as war, peace, negotiation, and foreign commerce. The powers reserved to the several states will extend to all the objects which, in the ordinary course of affairs, concern the lives, liberties, and properties of the people ”;

Whereas , Thomas Jefferson emphasized that the states are not “subordinate ” to the national government, but rather the two are “coordinate departments of one simple and integral whole. The one is the domestic, the other the foreign branch of the same government ”

Pence has a national popular following....but I think Bayh has kissed up to the Clinton machine. It would be a tough one.

[HoosierHawk]

I like the “Bye Bye Bayh” compaign idea. Love to have Pence in the Senate.

[Arrowhead]

They need to go after everything.

Agree wholeheartedly! Starting with Obama's birth certificate.

Tennessee is also considering a 10th Amendment declaration. Have you gotten news of it yet?

[stockpirate]

Where is OK do you live?

I lived in Talequah, just southeast of Tulsa.

[stockpirate]

PING.......

[ExTexasRedhead]

Somehow, this needs to be covered on talk radio since there is no media coverage of this in the MSM.

Only that it is all but done, but I've been like a one-armed paper hanger the last few days and I haven't been able to keep up as well as I'd like to.

bert, heard anything?

[txnativegop]

I just sent off an email to about 20 or so VA delegates to support the resolution that is being considered by yet another delegate in the VA house. I am hopeful that something will come this soon.

[bert]

Nope
