10th Amendment grassfire winds are blowing toward Washington!
Those of you who did not like Gov. Sarah Palin before, may like her now!
Gov. Sarah Palin has just signed a joint resolution declaring Alaska’s sovereignty under the Tenth Amendment to the Constitution; 36 other states have done the same in a growing resistance to the federal government.
Just days before she plans to step down from her position as Alaska governor, Palin signed House Joint Resolution 27 .The resolution “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.”
Alaska’s State House passed HJR 27 by a vote of 37-0, and the Senate passed it by a vote of 40-0.
The joint resolution is not a law, but it is a significant move toward getting the message out to other lawmakers, the media and grassroots movements. She is a media magnet and this action was noted on
all the cable news networks, major newspapers, magazines, and talk radio.
Essentially it’s a reminder that the United States is made up of individual states; it’s not a federal authority broken up into political subdivisions.
The federal government was created by the states to be an agent of the states. Currently the states are treated as agents of the federal government in violation of the Constitution.
Over the past 30 years, there have been increasing federal mandates and acts designed to legislate the affairs of our various states from Washington D.C. Federal usurpation into state affairs severely limits the ability of state governments to operate by the people and for the people on the local level.
Now more close to home, I am pleased that Georgia State House Rep. Bobby Franklin (R) of Marietta, is leading the charge for the protection of The 10th Amendment.
Rep. Franklin’s bills are:
H.R. 470- State Sovereignty Resolution (10th Amendment)
HB 466- Tax the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta
(This private banking cartel has been exempted from being audited and from paying corporate income tax. This law would reverse this exemption.)
H.B. 430 Constitutional Tender Act
(This law would shift the exchange transfer away from the Federal Reserve Accounting Unit Dollars to gold and silver backed currency.)
State Authority and Intrastate Commerce Act
Recognizing that everything made, assembled, grown, raised, produced, mined, generated or in any other way originating in Georgia, and is sold for use in Georgia, is not subject to federal law or regulation since it does not travel in interstate commerce.
State Authority and Federal Tax Funds Act
(Because Georgia is a “Donor State” meaning the amount of taxes paid to the federal government is greater than the amount of federal tax dollars returned to the state – This act would cause the Feds to cease from taxing Georgia citizens through graduated income tax.)
In conclusion, I would like to challenge you to join the efforts of Sarah Palin to stand down tyrrany and corruption. I would also like to challenge you to join with Bobby Franklin to guard against plunder and forced compliance to unlawful policies. We must fight or we will not recognize the country in which our grandchildren live.
