There is a huge movement going on...I know I was not fully aware of this and it has lifted my spirits, I anticipate there are many like me who were not up to speed on this incredible event taking place all across the nation! States are rejecting federal authority to rule over them!

Missouri has a newly elected, trial-lawyer scum Democrat in the Governor’s mansion.

I don’t know if these measures can enacted without Executive branch cooperation.

It’s encouraging, but the Federal Government has the Army and the National Guard.

Tianenmen Square will be taking place in Times Square.

I wonder whose side the different state police forces will be on—the people or the Feds???

If they want to keep Washington out of state business, then they need to stop accepting Federal money.

I’m surprised that Michigan, with Detroit full of obamas and Flint packed with union thugs, is on the list. Seemed more likely to have passed a resolution of solidarity with the Seat of Government.

How say you, Mr. Mag? What do you see from your side of the mitten?

I think that most states are so dependent on Federal largess, that they couldn’t survive without it.

Does anyone have a feel for whether this actually means anything? I mean, politicians make pronouncements all day long, but will they conduct themselves any differently? Though I’m a great advocate of state’s rights, I would like to hear more about the practical effect of the sovereignty movement.

What I fear is that this is just a bunch of “window dressing”, without any intention on the part of the states to amend their obeisance to Washington. The states have been kneeling at the federal “altar” for an awfully long time. Is a sovereignty measure going to change anything?

Comments?

I can’t help but wonder if California is considering it for all the wrong reasons.

Reminds me of the crazy Russian that predicted the US would fall apart.

These resolutions, like in my Oklahoma, rank right up there with declarations of State Bubblegum day.

ABSOFREAKEN BLOODY USELESS, AND QUITE POINTLESS!!!

My town, Shawnee, is skipping and gloating about getting another Federal $2,000,000 that the Good Old Boys can plunder in the name of pissant "social" programs, or War on Drugs toys.
