I am writing to my state’s grassroots and COS persons that we should avoid the phrase “state’s rights” because it is a trigger for unneeded and unwarranted adversity.... I am not advocating political correctness but rather political expediency. No need to get bogged down by the usage of trigger words that set a discussion off on a tangent of segregation or other unrelated issues and history.

A most excellent suggestion, Hostage! I didn't think of that. But I'm sure you're right. Once the COS hits the MSM radar screen, I expect all Hell will break loose. There'll be such quantities of MUCK stirred up that it will be difficult to see straight. We had better not be providing the enemy with ammo he'll use to try to kill us.

So, I'm swearing off "states' rights" language from now on. "Tenth Amendment Powers" would be my suggestion for a new moniker. That sounds harmless enuf. What talking head would want to rail against something that "abstract?"

“Tenth Amendment Powers” is excellent!

“States Restoration”
“Rebalancing Powers”
“Leveling the Legislative Playing Fields”

Many ‘positive’ slogans and phrases can be used to steer the movement into activities and discussions that are distraction-resistant.
