10th Amendment Movement Update - 7

Virginia launches boycott of 'unconstitutional' federal laws, urges 49 others to join in combating government's 'abuse of authority'

Tennessee is urging 49 other states to come together and create a "joint working group between the states" to combat unconstitutional federal legislation and assert state rights, reported Chelsea Schilling on WorldNetDaily on Oct. 21.

Tennessee Gov. Phil Bredesen signed HJR 108, the State Sovereignty Resolution on June 23. According to the Tenth Amendment Center, the resolution created a committee to form a joint working group between the states to enumerate the abuses of authority by the federal government and seek repeal of imposed mandates, she writes.

Virginia State Rep. Susan Lynn recently wrote a letter to the other 49 state legislatures, inviting them to join the group and warning that the role of the federal government has been "blurred, bent and breached," Schilling reports.

"The national government has become a complex system of programs whose purposes lie outside of the responsibilities of the enumerated powers and of securing our natural rights; programs that benefit some while others must pay," Lynn wrote. "Today, the federal government seeks to control the salaries of those employed by private business, to change the provisions of private of contracts, to nationalize banks, insurers and auto manufacturers, and to dictate to every person in the land what his or her medical choices will be."

The libs will hate it when they realize that the people are not taking their word for what the Constitution says or doesn't say. There is a chance we will again become a government OF THE PEOPLE, BY THE PEOPLE, AND FOR THE PEOPLE, and that it shall not perish from the earth. (A Lincoln, the Gettysburg Address)

This is a step in the right direction. More states need to join this revolution. The federal gov't has been gradually siezing power from the states since the flag had only 13 stars. It's not just the libs. Both sides do it. Bush the lesser, a.k.a. "W" was one of the worst offenders. This Obama administration is on track to eclipse the Bush II disaster. I'm no fear-monger but I'm worried.

Being from Virginia, I'm proud of the stand that our fellow citizens took. Even Northern Virginia couldn't change this outcome. Long live the Old Dominion!
