The reason I put this in breaking news is that Indiana just passed the Senate version this afternoon [44-3]. The original article on the website was a couple of days ago but has new information that I could not find posted on another thread.

Check the website for information on the other states. There are some links for more information.

So what does this mean? My state is one listed - Georgia. What is the significance of the bill?

Alaska has a beautiful governor but is very cold; Montana is over a thousand miles away from NYC but is very cold... Is there a trend here?

Here is a little more info from the PDF file

On April 6, 2009, the Alaska House of Representatives overwhelmingly passed House Joint Resolution 27 [HJR27] [status page] which “claims sovereignty for the state 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”

The final vote was 37-0, with 3 not voting. Here’s the tally. (h/t Tom Mortensen)

I had the opportunity to discuss a resolution in the Delaware house with my state rep and his Saturday morning group. Not much yet to report, but he has the info and there was a lively discussion about this.

The kicker for him was that in the stimulus bill, Washington was dictating to the states. I flat out asked him if he liked taking orders from Washington. He wasn’t laughing.

I will keep you posted as more news is available.

I hope that my state, Alabama, follows Georgia. I recently moved here from South Dakota, and there are many similarities among the “red states” when it comes to ethics and politics. People in the “red states” don’t expect or want the government to take care of them from womb to tomb. They would rather do it for themselves, and they want congress to stay out of their lives. Only the parasites in our society want big government, and that number is increasing daily.

Hey did they pass the right bill in GA about our states rights and the tenth amendment. I know you were talking about two different ones, one that had power and one that was ceremonial, but it was SR632 that passed for GA. Just for clarification on this thread, was this the one that had the teeth? Thanks

How far does this go?

Will abortion, marriage and education go back to being solely state concerns? (They aren't mentioned in Article 1, section 8 either)

I think we should be careful with this state sovereignty movement.

Someone replied to me a while back that Florida asserted 10th Amendment rights back in 1995 during BJ. Will someone confirm that for me please?
