Are States Sovereign in America?
There have been many articles the last two weeks concerning the moves of several states to introduce legislation claiming certain rights under the 10th Amendment. When these articles are posted or socially bookmarked discussions seem to rise as to whether states are sovereign or not, in many people’s stated views they are not.

Reading through many postings I kept seeing recurring themes of disobedience, division, and a movement bent on secession and civil war. It became obvious that despite many Internet political readers being more rooted in our history there is a representative voice echoing the belief of a large number of citizens. Sparking the discussion were legislatures in Arizona, New Hampshire, Washington, and Oklahoma introducing a general warning the 10th Amendment still applies. (In June of 2008 Oklahoma actually passed the legislation by a 92 to 3 margin while most of us slept.) Montana and Missouri are two examples of specific claims under the 10th Amendment with their focus on firearms and abortion.

“Are States Sovereign in America?”
Texas NEEDS to visit this soon.
This website has a link to Missouri’s contribution.

They regularly update the information on this website. One page is for state initiatives, they also have another for eligibility and other lawsuits. A TN state representative just filed a state sovereignty piece of legislation, and also signed on to one of the eligibility lawsuits. So if state legislators are plantiffs, it seems as if they would have standing to me. And military, and Keyes, and NObama’s relative.
I read that 25 states are working on state sovereignty legislation, which I think is a great start.
Yep, I've run across his site several times following links, etc. He seems committed to the cause, God bless him. Should be a good resource for us to check in on from time to time.
Another good resource and someone who shouldn't mind getting hits from FR either.
Texas (AP)- In what has been described as an upcoming Constitutional explosion, 49 states will secede from the Union effective July 4th, 2009. Talk of secession has been bantered about on Capitol Hill for the past several months when the republicans figured out they were no longer going to run things. However, no one knows how the republicans got the democrats and independents to come over to their side on the secession issue.
When Emperor Obama was eventually appointed, the last three secession holdout states, New York, Illinois, and Michigan went over the edge. Governor Blagojevich of Illinois masterminded the separation, for some think, to avoid impeachment by the full senate. Still others believed that Blago's charismatic character would sway holdout states. If you recall, Blago was under Federal indictment for trying to auction off then Senator Obama's seat when he was appointed Emperor of the U.S. Jan. 20th, 2009, but the Senate dropped impeachment proceedings as a gesture of good will, even after finding ping-pong bingo balls in his office.
Obama, the super-extra-charismatic leader hailed as the savior of democracy, capitalism, the middle class, the poor, the rich, health care, employment, banks, manufacturing, entrepreneurs, drug addicts, mental health, automobiles, unions, potholes, bridges, etc., evoked too much hope, and optimism in U.S. citizens, and the world. With self-esteem at record lows, it was felt that to much hope, optimism and opportunity would be akin to a collective drug overdose. Plus, given mankind's penchant for self-destruction, it was felt it would have been a waste of time anyway. Therefore, the other 49 states felt it more prudent to divorce themselves from this madman's way of thinking, and secede from the Union as a matter of self-preservation.
There has been talk already of Texas becoming the new Washington, D.C. but GWB has been overly reticent about it. Asked whether he would be the new president of the new Union, Bush replied, "I'll take it any way I can get it."
Last I saw on here it was 20 states.
Right on Missouri on the FOCA.
We also rejected the real ID act.
Mandantory Seat belts are on the agenda, with of course, federal highway money as the bribe.
States can still do it if they band together. We in Missouri may have a Dem Governor, byt the House is overwhelming majority, and the senate is a filibuster proof majority, of republicans...who are overwhelming conservatives. Feds can suck an egg.
It would be sweet to see the Northern States get their panties in a wad after studying about The first War Between The States.
