HOUSE MEMBER SAYS RESOLUTION ON 10TH AMENDMENT ISN’T ABOUT PARTISANSHIP
BY MICHAEL MCNUTT
Published: January 4, 2009
An Oklahoma lawmaker wants to put the federal government on notice to stop doing things that he says are abusing its authority over the state.
With a Republican-controlled Legislature set to convene next month for the first time in state history, chances are good the measure will pass, said Rep. Charles Key. A similar resolution failed to advance last year.
Key, R-Oklahoma City, said he thinks many federal laws violate the 10th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, which states the powers not delegated to the federal government “are reserved to the states respectively, or to the people.” The Constitution lists about 20 duties required of the federal government.
“We, the people in the states, created the federal government,” Key said. “They act like they created us and we’re under their authority, and that’s really not the case.”

I shall be instructing my Local Representatives in N.Y. of your initiative and that we should follow your lead if our Republic is to survive.
Reginald,
Thanks so much! It is very encouraging to hear so many states check in and let us know they are working on something similar (or will). I am encouraged to keep pressing in on this!
Blessings,
Sandie

looks like more states will be joining the effort to avoid linkage to the massive debt load the federal government seems to want to kill us with!

more states joining the effort – talk to your reps and add yours today (let’s all opt out of the debt avalanche where noone seems to be taking care of the taxpayers anymore – they cannot even account for where the money is going)!
