Florida is now the 37th state where a sovereignty resolution has been introduced

Florida State Represenatives Workman and Plakon, along with co-sponsors Dorworth, Eisnaugle, Kelly, Precourt, and Tobia introduced House Memorial 19 (HM19), which “Urges Congress to honor provisions of U. S. Constitution & U. S. Supreme Court case law which limit scope & exercise of federal power.” (h/t David Reid)

The goal of the memorial is to serve “as a notice and a demand to the Federal Government…to cease and desist, effective immediately, from issuing mandates that are beyond the scope of [their] constitutionally delegated powers.” Read More

The States must see something happening within the Obama administration that they don’t like and I think what they see is a dictator leader in the White House! Obama has never proved that he was American born.

We are a non-partisan group of concerned Americans in Bay County, FL who believe the US Constitution is being ignored, overstepped, and decimated by a government that is out of touch and out of control.
As Benjamin Franklin so aptly remarked, “If we don’t hang together… we most assuredly will hang separately”.

Have you ever felt like you’re the only one in your community that see’s what’s happening to America? Well, you’re not. Many Americans understand that Washington is broken. Many times it seems that the political solution is the problem. No more. Our founders knew the solution is We The People.

Louisiana: 7th State to Affirm Sovereignty by approving Resolution 2 (SCR2)

The Louisiana State House voted to approve Senate Concurrent Resolution 2 (SCR2) which “Memorializes Congress to affirm Louisiana’s sovereignty under the Tenth Amendment of the Constitution of the United States of America and to demand that the federal government halt its practices of assuming powers and imposing mandates upon the states for purposes not enumerated by the Constitution of the United States of America.”

The resolution, authored by State Senator Crowe, passed by a vote of 59-12. It previously passed the State Senate by a vote of 32-0. (h/t hayestown)
Louisiana joins Alaska, North Dakota, South Dakota, Oklahoma, Idaho and Tennessee as states where similar resolutions affirming sovereignty under the 10th Amendment to the Constitution have been approved by both legislative houses.

There has to be a good reason that these States are affirming their sovereignty, I think they are concern about whats ahead with Obama taking control of everything in his path!

Tenth Amendment Movement – Give Power Back to the States

Fed up with Washington’s involvement in everything from land use to gun control to education spending, states across the country are fighting back against what they say is the federal government’s growing intrusion on their rights.

At least 35 states have introduced legislation this year asserting their power under the Tenth Amendment to regulate all matters not specifically delegated to the federal government by the Constitution. Read More

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.
– U.S. Constitution, Tenth Amendment

The federal government is getting to big and trying to rule the States against what the Tenth Amendment says! This was the reason Obama gave the States fed money hoping he could pull off a take over of them. But the States seen thu his plans and are doing something about it.
