Although Gov. Brad Henry vetoed similar legislation 10 days earlier, House members Monday again approved a resolution claiming Oklahoma’s sovereignty.
Unlike House Joint Resolution 1003, House Concurrent Resolution 1028 does not need the governor’s approval.
The House passed the measure 73-22. It now goes to the Senate.
"We’re going to get it done one way or the other,” said the resolutions’ author, Rep. Charles Key, R-Oklahoma City.
"I think our governor is out of step.”
House Democrats objected, saying the issue already had been taken up and had been vetoed, but House Speaker Pro Tempore Kris Steele, R-Shawnee, ruled the veto is not final action.
Key said he expects HCR 1028 will pass in the Senate. HJR 1003 earlier passed the House 83-18 and won approval in the Senate 29-18.
Henry vetoed HJR 1003 because he said it suggested, among other things, that Oklahoma should return federal tax dollars.
Key said HCR 1028, which, if passed, would be sent to Democratic President Barack Obama and the Democratic-controlled Congress, would not jeopardize federal funds but would tell Congress to "get back into their proper constitutional role.” The resolution states the federal government should "cease and desist” mandates that are beyond the scope of its powers.

It wasn’t really an invite...I was just pinging Oklahoma to your most excellent post!
:)
A meaningless gesture. The piece of paper has no teeth.
Link of facts, please?
The story is the link.
The piece of paper is asking Washington to be Constitutional. What do you think the answer will be?
It`s red meat to the masses that does nothing but temporarily satiate and calms.
Hasn’t passed the Senate yet.
I read one states docs that had specifics that the feds must commit in order for the state to break away. Gun rights, in basic language, the U.N. usurping the U.S.I do not think it is an immediate action, only one that breaks away when the feds and the U.N. and Obama go (pardon the droll black helicopter term ) all NWO global.
Good for those people
Good for those people
And Texas in a strong way.
It is odd that Tx. and NC are missing from the list of states all of a sudden.
Leave New Orleans behind and it might work.
Now if Texas would only do the same. Obama is driving states out of the union with his big taxes and tyranny.
I’ll ask again why is Tx. and NC no longer on the list? Anybody know?
Not funny. Don’t be dissin NOLA man! Baton Rouge nor yankee La. are much better. LOL.
Sorry, States do not have a Constitutional leg to stand on and declare unilateral cessation from the Union.
You have ol` Abe to thank for that USSC decision. He packed the court with his stooges and they made up this law from nothing.
There are alot of things done today that are supposedly not of the rules of law. I suggest the right all live on the right of the USA and the left the left. We can historically name it the Marxist-Conservative line.
I hope the tea parties get tremendously huge!!!

You've been brainwashed, and have it exactly backward.
The federal government is a creation of the states, and the people thereof. The Constitution defines the federal government, and the limits within which it must exist.
The powers not specifically delegated to the federal government, are retained by the states and the people.
