calfoxwc Posted July 22, 2009 Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 THE SARAH CHRONICLES Palin to feds: Alaska is sovereign state Constitutional rights reasserted in growing resistance to Washington -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Posted: July 20, 2009 11:08 pm Eastern By Chelsea Schilling © 2009 WorldNetDaily Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin Gov. Sarah Palin has signed a joint resolution declaring Alaska's sovereignty under the Tenth Amendment to the Constitution – and now 36 other states have introduced similar resolutions as part of a growing resistance to the federal government. Just weeks before she plans to step down from her position as Alaska governor, Palin signed House Joint Resolution 27, sponsored by state Rep. Mike Kelly on July 10, according to a Tenth Amendment Center report. 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 House passed HJR 27 by a vote of 37-0, and the Senate passed it by a vote of 40-0. According to the report, the joint resolution does not carry with it the force of law, but supporters say it is a significant move toward getting their message out to other lawmakers, the media and grassroots movements. Alaska's resolution states: Be it resolved that the Alaska State Legislature hereby 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. Be it further resolved that this resolution serves as Notice and Demand to the federal government to cease and desist, effective immediately, mandates that are beyond the scope of these constitutionally delegated powers. While seven states – Tennessee, Idaho, North Dakota, South Dakota, Oklahoma, Alaska and Louisiana – have had both houses of their legislatures pass similar decrees, Alaska Gov. Palin and Tennessee Gov. Phil Bredesen are currently the only governors to have signed their states' sovereignty resolutions. The resolutions all address the Tenth Amendment that says: "powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people." (Story continues below) The Tenth Amendment Center also reported that Florida State Sen. Carey Baker, R-Eustis, introduced a memorial earlier this month urging "Congress to honor the provisions of the Constitution of the United States and United States Supreme Court case law which limit the scope and exercise of federal power." "Now more than ever, state governments must exercise their Constitutional right to say no to the expansion of the federal government's reckless deficit spending and abuse of power," Sen. Baker said. "With this resolution, our Legislature can send a message to Washington that our state's rights must be respected." The full text of Florida's memorial is available on the Tenth Amendment Center website. As WND reported, South Carolina's proposal, S. 424, is titled: "To affirm South Carolina's sovereignty under the Tenth Amendment to the United States Constitution over all powers not enumerated and granted to the federal government by the United States Constitution." 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. In South Carolina, the proposals remains pending in the state Senate, where Sen. Lee Bright said he still hopes that it will be adopted this year. The proposal there notes specifically that the "federal government was created by the states … to be an agent of the states," and the states currently "are treated as agents of the federal government," many times in violation of the Constitution. Bright told WND the movement is spreading from state to state as fast as lawmakers discover it. Michael Boldin, a spokesman for the Tenth Amendment Center, said his organization has created a posting for all such proposals to be tracked. Among the states where such proposals at least have been considered are Louisiana, Colorado, Wisconsin, Florida, Illinois, West Virginia, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Nevada, Oregon, Alabama, Mississippi, Pennsylvania, Idaho, New Mexico, South Dakota, Virginia, Kentucky, Alaska, Indiana, Tennessee, Arkansas, Minnesota, South Carolina, Georgia, Kansas, Texas, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Missouri, Iowa, Montana, Michigan, Arizona, Washington and Oklahoma. In Louisiana, it passed the Senate in May and the House in June. In Idaho, it passed the House in March and the Senate in April. In North Dakota, it passed the House and Senate both in April, with the House a short time later adopting changes made by the Senate. In South Dakota, it was approved by both houses of the Legislature and under that state's rules does not need the governor's signature. In May, Rep. M.J. "Manny" Steele, a Republican in South Dakota, wrote that he believes up to $11 trillion is being wasted in the coming years by Washington's efforts "to duplicate and micromanage our states' affairs." He said states should manage their own affairs and not be dependent on a federal cash cow to make ends meet. Likewise with industries, he said, citing federal cash dumps on the banking, insurance and automobile industries. Steele told WND his dollar estimate was based on what President Obama himself has allocated in the coming years to spend on stimulus packages, industry bailouts and the like. "If we would just let the market take care of these things," he said. His letter noted that Alaska, Georgia, Idaho, Missouri, North Dakota, Oklahoma and South Carolina legislatures joined South Dakota's in passing some statement on the Tenth Amendment this year. The results vary based on state procedures, however. In Oklahoma, the governor vetoed the plan and it was launched on its second trip through the legislature and has been passed by the House. "Over the course of decades, there have been increasing federal mandates and acts designed to effectively step in and legislate the affairs of our various states from Washington D.C.," Steele said. "Federal usurpation into state affairs severely limits the ability of state governments to operate according to their citizens' wishes." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kosar_For_President Posted July 22, 2009 Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 More and more states and Americans are rebelling against the impending rights being threatened by the corrupt Obama administration. Didn't the same thing happen 150 years ago? Wait Obama is black and a Democrat never mind. I wonder how many of these states accepted money from Obama?

Guest mz. Posted July 22, 2009 Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 Gov. Sarah Palin has signed a joint resolution declaring Alaska's sovereignty under the Tenth Amendment to the Constitution Question: if states are already guaranteed their "sovereignty" under the 10th Amendment, why would she need to sign a joint resolution to declare said sovereignty? What is the point exactly?? This feels, to me, like when whipped dudes are forced by their domineering wives to renew their wedding vows...it's a big show but has no additional legal meaning whatsoever. And the Libs are the ones creating unnecessary paperwork... PS Didn't she step down? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calfoxwc Posted July 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 No, she has not stepped down. Yes, there is good reason to make an issue of soveriegn, in lieu of the impending socialist power grab by the corrupt OBama administration. They are sinking lower and lower in approval ratings. Right now, Obama is way lower in approval than Jimmy "peanutbrain" Carter was at the same time. And that is pretty poor. Yes, the bark is falling off the ugly Obama tree faster and faster. Even more and more Congressional Dems know it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, there is good reason to make an issue of soveriegn, in lieu of the impending socialist power grab by the corrupt OBama administration. That is as far from an explanation as you can get, cal. Try harder. They are sinking lower and lower in approval ratings. Right now, Obama is way lower in approval than Jimmy "peanutbrain" Carter was at the same time. And that is pretty poor. Yes, the bark is falling off the ugly Obama tree faster and faster. Even more and more Congressional Dems know it. And back to this same crazy shit you spout every single day. I know you're a "programmer" of some sort. Did you create a macro that just automatically responds with your Bark Shit when you have no alternative explanation for your craziness??

calfoxwc Posted July 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 QUOTE (mz the pussy. @ Jul 22 2009, 03:57 PM) I know you're a "programmer" of some sort. Did you create a macro that just automatically responds with your Bark Shit when you have no alternative explanation for your craziness?? Yea on his Tandy Computer. ******************************** No, my Tandy sx1000 was several decades ago. When I went to buy it, the salestwerp said I had to buy a $400 dollar monitor to use it and got really nasty with me when I told him to just sell me an RF modulator. So, I hooked up my sx1000 to my 13" Sony TV and got through school that way. After I had it working in in a short time after getting home, I figured out that the salestwerp was going to pay. I went to that Radio Shack, and when the salestwerp wasn't looking, I went to DOS on their display computer at the front of the store, and wrote a harmless basic program that scrolled the message "This young salestwerp doesn't know diddley about computers. Don't listen to him, he lies." that automatically ran on bootup. Well, I went back two days later, and it was still doing the same message. I asked about it, "innocently", and the salestwerp was fired, and the new guy told me they had a computer guy from the home office coming in to fix it. No, I didn't write a macro. But it's a good line, and I am probably the only one who isn't tired of it, therefore.... But, I did write an international competitive cost pricing software for a huge company. It changed the way they compete with other companies pricing, dramatically expediting their response time. Pretty complex, and I had to invent some new functionality that the dev platform would not support, without hard coding extensively. The interface and all functionality had to be intuitive to the max, because several high level older employees in that dept hated computers. Well, my initial presentation went great, the beta testing during the implementation phase was a terrific success, and the morning it went online for the entire dept, the two elderly ladies I worked with from that dept came up and gave me two big boxes of cookies, a root beer, and a wrapped present. Our boss in our dept came over and watched me unwrap it, as my two grinning co-workers looked on. It was a 3' tall John Deere thermometer for our new barn. And all sorts of praise about how great it was to work with me, my people skills, etc. And after they left, our boss just stood there, shaking his head, as he said, "In all these years, I've never seen a software developer get a present. Amazing. Okay, get back to work, slacker.", as he took a cookie. Maybe Stan would let me write a macro that translates every "Obama" with "The bark is falling off the ugly Obama tree" like Ben Rothlicksboogers changes into "Big Gay Ben"... Oh, Stan......
