source: State Sovereignty Movement Quietly Growing

As things stand right now it looks like Oklahoma, Washington, Hawaii, Missouri, Arizona, New Hampshire, Georgia, California, Michigan and Montana will all definitely consider sovereignty bills this year. They may be joined by Arkansas, Colorado, Idaho, Indiana, Alaska, Kansas, Alabama, Nevada, Maine and Pennsylvania where legislators have pledged to introduce similar bills. Twenty states standing up to the federal government and demanding a return to constitutional principles is a great start, but it remains to be seen whether legislatures and governors are brave enough or angry enough to follow through. As the Obama administration and the Democratic Congress push for more expansion of federal power and spending that may help provide the motivation needed for the sovereignty movement to take off.

ok that is all i found so far IF you find more ill add it to the top if i can

 

[WHAT HAPPENED]

do you guys/gals want this to be updated?

 

[melensdad]

do you guys/gals want this to be updated?

Yes, I'd like to know which states introduce this type of resolution, AND then I'd like to know which states actually pass these resolutions.

BUT THEN it would also be interesting to see if any state actually does a damn thing by following up on enforcing the resolutions after they are passed. I have a feeling that these are just political ploys, used to show that the states still have their balls, but in reality I think many are just false bravado and will not yield any reduction in Federal authority of these states.

 

[savageayape]

Yes, I too would like to continue to learn updates

 

[WHAT HAPPENED]

update pennsylvania....

 

[SavageEagle]

Love to know who actually passes and DOES something about them.

 

[BloodEclipse]

Love to know who actually passes and DOES something about them.

Passing a resolution is one thing but actually standing up and taking on the Feds is what I want to see. Any stories in which a State is doing this would be met with lots of support so keep us informed.

STATE OF OKLAHOMA

1st Session of the 52nd Legislature (2009)

HOUSE JOINT
RESOLUTION 1003 By: Key





AS INTRODUCED

<StartFT>A Joint Resolution claiming sovereignty under the Tenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States over certain powers; serving notice to the federal government to cease and desist certain mandates; providing that certain federal legislation be prohibited or repealed; and directing distribution.<EndFT>




WHEREAS, the Tenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States reads as follows:
"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."; and
WHEREAS, the Tenth Amendment defines the total scope of federal power as being that specifically granted by the Constitution of the United States and no more; and
WHEREAS, the scope of power defined by the Tenth Amendment means that the federal government was created by the states specifically to be an agent of the states; and
WHEREAS, today, in 2009, the states are demonstrably treated as agents of the federal government; and
WHEREAS, many federal laws are directly in violation of the Tenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States; and
WHEREAS, the Tenth Amendment assures that we, the people of the United States of America and each sovereign state in the Union of States, now have, and have always had, rights the federal government may not usurp; and
WHEREAS, Article IV, Section 4 says, “The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government”, and the Ninth Amendment states that ”The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people”; and
WHEREAS, the United States Supreme Court has ruled in New York v. United States, 112 S. Ct. 2408 (1992), that Congress may not simply commandeer the legislative and regulatory processes of the states; and
WHEREAS, a number of proposals from previous administrations and some now pending from the present administration and from Congress may further violate the Constitution of the United States.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES AND THE SENATE OF THE 1ST SESSION OF THE 52ND OKLAHOMA LEGISLATURE:
THAT the State of Oklahoma hereby claims sovereignty 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.
THAT this serve as Notice and Demand to the federal government, as our agent, to cease and desist, effective immediately, mandates that are beyond the scope of these constitutionally delegated powers.
THAT all compulsory federal legislation which directs states to comply under threat of civil or criminal penalties or sanctions or requires states to pass legislation or lose federal funding be prohibited or repealed.
THAT a copy of this resolution be distributed to the President of the United States, the President of the United States Senate, the Speaker of the United States House of Representatives, the Speaker of the House and the President of the Senate of each state's legislature of the United States of America, and each member of the Oklahoma Congressional Delegation.

!!!!YES PLEASE!!!
Please keep us up-to-date on this.

Ok. So the states are debating this and some have passed it (If I understand that right).

Now the problem is how do we put tooth to nail here? How can the states enforce this without resorting to arms?

They are putting the ball in the federal gov'ts court. Oklahoma's language is light. It kinda leaves that "or else..." feel. I know that a few states have a clause that states that Failure to Comply renders the US Constitution Null in void in the eyes of that state.

 

[gunrunner0320]

i would like to know when indiana votes on it i have been trying to follow it but all i see on there web site is in full house 1st reading ?

 

[flagtag]

Well, I'm quite sure that you will NOT see Illinois doing something like this unless the SCOTUS rules against Chicago in regards to the Second Amendment. Then, Mayor Dailey will have his puppets introduce such a bill and vote for it.
