H.R.470 for sovereignty remains in committee. - M. J. "Zeb" Blanchard Sat, 04 Apr 2009 14:04:03 +0100 http://jbs.org/us-constitution-blog/4586#comment-744 I'd say that it's states accepting the mandates that got us into this mess, rather than "accepting" the money. The money is ours already, and we are entitled to it without strings attached. Ideally, states would be the central taxing authority, and the Federal level of government would have to rely upon states to supply revenues for its operations, rather than the opposite. As it is, the Federal government taxes our money from us wihtout our consent, and gives us only a relatively small portion of it back, with strings attached. Under the 9th and 10th Amendments, we and the states are not bound to obey those strings in order to take the money back that was and is ours first, last, and always. - Rex in Alabama Mon, 09 Mar 2009 22:41:56 +0100 http://jbs.org/us-constitution-blog/4586#comment-742 I'm thrilled to see the push to claim state sovereignty, but unless these states eschew federal funding for ANYTHING, their resolutions don't mean a hill of beans. It is states accepting federal funds that got us into this mess, and it will be impossible to claim sovereignty and make it stick without fiscal responsibility, including rejecting the carrot/stick of federal funds, in each state. - Joy Mon, 09 Mar 2009 16:44:28 +0100 http://jbs.org/us-constitution-blog/4586#comment-726 I am trying to get a nationwide state sovereignty web site off the ground to coordinate communications and information about state sovereignty efforts in all 50 state capitals. The site is at http://www.statesovereignty.org. There is a new blog and a discussion forum. So far not very many people have registered, but I am trying to post a lot of good information there. If you would join and encourage others to do so as well, it woud help citizens and voters in all 50 states to become educated about their sovereignty and perhaps inspire more of them to contact their own lawmakers to make their desires known. - Rex in Alabama Sat, 07 Mar 2009 17:33:23 +0100 http://jbs.org/us-constitution-blog/4586#comment-720 This section of the constitution is little read and little understood.Very important Article. VI. All Debts contracted and Engagements entered into, before the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be as valid against the United States under this Constitution, as under the Confederation. This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof; and all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the Authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the Land; and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, any Thing in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the Contrary notwithstanding. The Senators and Representatives before mentioned, and the Members of the several State Legislatures, and all executive and judicial Officers, both of the United States and of the several States, shall be bound by Oath or Affirmation, to support this Constitution; but no religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States - Unkle Buck Fri, 06 Mar 2009 19:12:30 +0100 http://jbs.org/us-constitution-blog/4586#comment-704 The state of Nevada is drafting the same resolution and will come forward this session to affirm our state sovereignty under the Ninth and Tenth Amendment of the United States Constitution. With that said, our government representatives have taken an oath to uphold the US Constitution and their State Constitution. Denying the passage of this resolution would demonstrate the disregard of these representatives loyalty to the oath and the people of this great state. To the representatives who choose not to support this resolution could result in your replacement in the next elections. - JLB777 Thu, 05 Mar 2009 07:10:49 +0100
