WA, AZ, MO, & NH Claims Sovereignty from the Federal Government
WA, AZ, MO, & NH Claims Sovereignty from the Federal Government
Here's one link. [link to www.dailypaul.com] If you're getting behind NH, MO and WA in their stand against the Federal gov't, Arizona is now on board, too! Posted February 4th, 2009 by alwayssimon Also see: NH, MO, WA State of Arizona House of Representatives Forty-ninth Legislature First Regular Session 2009 HCR 2024 Introduced by Representatives Burges, Ash, Biggs, Boone, Gowan, Mason, Montenegro, Pancrazi, Seel, Williams: Barto, Campbell CL, Court, Crandall, Crump, Driggs, Fleming, Goodale, Hendrix, Kavanagh, Lesko, McComish, McGuire, Miranda B, Murphy, Nichols, Pratt, Quelland, Stevens, Tobin, Weiers JP, Senator Harper A concurrent RESOLUTION claiming sovereignty under the tenth amendment to the constitution of the united states over certain powers, serving notice to the federal government to cease and desist certain mandates and providing that certain federal legislation be prohibited or repealed. (TEXT OF BILL BEGINS ON NEXT PAGE) Whereas, the Tenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States reads as follows: "The 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"; and Whereas, the Tenth Amendment defines the total scope of federal power as being that specifically granted by the Constitution of the United States and no more; and Whereas, the scope of power defined by the Tenth Amendment means that the federal government was created by the states specifically to be an agent of the states; and Whereas, today, in 2009, the states are demonstrably treated as agents of the federal government; and Whereas, many federal laws are directly in violation of the Tenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States; and WHEREAS, the Tenth Amendment assures that we, the people of the United States of America and each sovereign state in the Union of States, now have, and have always had, rights the federal government may not usurp; and Whereas, Article IV, section 4, United States Constitution, says in part, "The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government", and the Ninth Amendment states that "The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people"; and Whereas, the United States Supreme Court has ruled in New York v. United States, 112 S. Ct. 2408 (1992), that Congress may not simply commandeer the legislative and regulatory processes of the states; and Whereas, a number of proposals from previous administrations and some now pending from the present administration and from Congress may further violate the Constitution of the United States. Therefore Be it resolved by the House of Representatives of the State of Arizona, the Senate concurring, that: 1. That the State of Arizona hereby claims sovereignty 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. 2. That this Resolution serves as notice and demand to the federal government, as our agent, to cease and desist, effective immediately, mandates that are beyond the scope of these constitutionally delegated powers. 3. That all compulsory federal legislation that directs states to comply under threat of civil or criminal penalties or sanctions or requires states to pass legislation or lose federal funding be prohibited or repealed. 4. That the Secretary of State of the State of Arizona transmit copies of this resolution to the President of the United States, the President of the United States Senate, the Speaker of the United States House of Representatives, the Speaker of the House and the President of the Senate of each state's legislature and each Member of Congress from the State of Arizona http://www.godlikeproductions.com/fo...sage720119/pg1 See it for yourself: [link to www.azleg.gov] ******************* If you believe in "State Sovereignty", make sure that you bug the hell out of your representatives to pass legislation like this. Also in your letters make sure that you call attention to the efforts of these states. Make them feel that their is a strong movement towards enforcing sovereignty outside of your individual state. That will give your representatives the feeling that their not totally leaving the herd. We need to make a firm push to get these bills actually passed- I'm not talking passive action...I saying assert your own personal authority as a citizen of your state. The power of your state derives from you, just as the Federal government's power derives from the states. It is long since past time that we reassert this authority. State Sovereignty will give us back our greatest line of defense against oppressive Federal government! From there we really can reverse all the harm that has been done to this Republic!!!!!!

AZ, HI, MI, MO, MT, NH, OK, & WA Claiming Sovereignty
However, I believe the intent of these bills is to let the federal government know that the states’ sovereignty will not be overwritten… say in case certain gun ban laws get passed… or other “War Time / Martial Law” type plans come into play. Check them out:

H-1028.1 _____________________________________________ HOUSE JOINT MEMORIAL 4009 _____________________________________________ State of Washington 61st Legislature 2009 Regular Session By Representatives Shea, Klippert, Condotta, Kretz, Anderson, McCune, and Kristiansen Read first time 01/30/09. Referred to Committee on State Government & Tribal Affairs. 1 TO THE HONORABLE BARACK OBAMA, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES, AND 2 TO THE PRESIDENT OF THE SENATE AND THE SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE OF 3 REPRESENTATIVES, AND TO THE SENATE AND HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES OF THE 4 UNITED STATES, IN CONGRESS ASSEMBLED, AND TO THE PRESIDENT OF THE 5 SENATE AND SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES OF EACH STATE'S 6 LEGISLATURE OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA: 7 We, your Memorialists, the Senate and House of Representatives of 8 the State of Washington, in legislative session assembled, respectfully 9 represent and petition as follows: 10 WHEREAS, The Tenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United 11 States specifically provides that, "The powers not delegated to the 12 United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, 13 are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people."; and 14 WHEREAS, The Tenth Amendment defines the total scope of federal 15 power as being those powers specifically granted to it by the 16 Constitution of the United States and no more; and 17 WHEREAS, Federalism is the constitutional division of powers 18 between the national and state governments and is widely regarded as 19 one of America's most valuable contributions to political science; and p. 1 HJM 4009 1 WHEREAS, James Madison, "the father of the Constitution," said, 2 "The powers delegated to the federal government are few and defined. 3 Those which are to remain in the state governments are numerous and 4 indefinite. The former will be exercised principally on external 5 objects, [such] as war, peace, negotiation, and foreign commerce. The 6 powers reserved to the several states will extend to all the objects 7 which, in the ordinary course of affairs, concern the lives, liberties, 8 and properties of the people."; and 9 WHEREAS, Thomas Jefferson emphasized that the states are not 10 "subordinate" to the national government, but rather the two are 11 "coordinate departments of one simple and integral whole. The one is 12 the domestic, the other the foreign branch of the same government."; 13 and 14 WHEREAS, Alexander Hamilton expressed his hope that "the people 15 will always take care to preserve the constitutional equilibrium 16 between the general and the state governments." He believed that "this 17 balance between the national and state governments forms a double 18 security to the people. If one [government] encroaches on their 19 rights, they will find a powerful protection in the other. Indeed, 20 they will both be prevented from overpassing their constitutional 21 limits by [the] certain rivalship which will ever subsist between 22 them."; and 23 WHEREAS, The scope of power defined by the Tenth Amendment means 24 that the federal government was created by the states specifically to 25 be limited in its powers relative to those of the various states; and 26 WHEREAS, Today, in 2009, the states are demonstrably treated as 27 agents of the federal government; and 28 WHEREAS, Many federal mandates are directly in violation of the 29 Tenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States; and 30 WHEREAS, The United States Supreme Court has ruled in New York v. 31 United States, 112 S. Ct. 2408 (1992), that Congress may not simply 32 commandeer the legislative and regulatory processes of the states; and 33 WHEREAS, A number of proposals from previous administrations and 34 some now being considered by the present administration and from 35 Congress may further violate the Constitution of the United States; 36 NOW, THEREFORE, Your Memorialists respectfully resolve: 37 (1) That the State of Washington hereby claims sovereignty under HJM 4009 p. 2 1 the Tenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States over all 2 powers not otherwise enumerated and granted to the federal government 3 by the Constitution of the United States; and 4 (2) That this serve as a Notice and Demand to the federal 5 government to maintain the balance of powers where the Constitution of 6 the United States established it and to cease and desist, effective 7 immediately, any and all mandates that are beyond the scope of its 8 constitutionally delegated powers. 9 BE IT RESOLVED, That copies of this Memorial be immediately 10 transmitted to the Honorable Barack Obama, President of the United 11 States, the President of the United States Senate, the Speaker of the 12 House of Representatives, the President of the Senate and the Speaker 13 of the House of Representatives of each state's legislature of the 14 United States of America, and each member of Congress from the State of 15 Washington. --- END --- p. 3 HJM 4009
