Of course you know the Constitution does not discuss when, how or if a state may seceed. Not a single word. This clearly kicks us over to the 10th amendment;

“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”

Sounds like a state can decide. The civil war settled what hapens when an industrial, populous region of the nation fights a sparsely populated agricultural region,,,nothing more.

The states are definitely the key and the GOP controls just under half of them and the democrats control some 13 states. Even RINO heavy states like Michigan are putting us a stiff fight against Obama.

December 10, 2012

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Matt Frendewey, Director of Communications O: 517-487-5413

Michigan Republican Party chairman Bobby Schostak issued the following statement in response to President Obama’s visit to Michigan today:

“It’s interesting that President Obama has chosen to stop in Michigan to propose his economic recovery plan of higher taxes, more spending and broken budgets. Here in Michigan we’ve seen actual economic recovery by streamlining government, cutting taxes and balancing budgets.

“The President’s divisive message and attack on Michigan workers is just another indication of how out of touch Pres. Obama has become. President Obama’s continued attempt to subvert state rights is an assult on our federal system.

“I encourage the former law professor and our current President brush up on the Tenth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, ‘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.’

“The President’s stance is a blatant attack on Michigan workers and demonstrates the President’s staunch support of special interest union bosses. Thankfully, Michigan Republican leaders are here to provide a firewall for Michigan workers and their families and to keep Michigan’s turnaround on course.”
