• State Sovereignty

   

  There’s a movement afoot to reassert state sovereignty and stop the uncontrolled expansion of federal government power. Almost half of the state legislatures are considering or have representatives preparing to introduce resolutions which reassert the principles of the 9th and 10th Amendments to the Constitution and the idea that federal power is strictly limited to specific areas detailed in the Constitution and that all other governmental authority rests with the states. 30 states are working on such resolutions.

  It's about time. The lines are being drawn. Which side will you be on?

  Following is a link of Texas governor Perry Backs affirming his own state's resolution and the transcript of that resolution. For more information on this issue, see The Tenth Amendment Center.
