     State Sovereignty is Starting to Steamroll
     From The Constitution Party


     States Tell Feds: “Back Off!”

     Legislatures Cite 10th Amendment In Strong Reminder To D.C.

     Lancaster, PA (February 7, 2009) A growing number of state
legislatures across the country have put the federal government on
notice that the United States Constitution gives states the authority
to say: “Thus far and no farther!”

     Bills introduced in states, including Washington, Michigan,
Montana, New Hampshire, Oklahoma and Arizona, defend state sovereignty
as guaranteed by the 10th Amendment to the United States Constitution
which states: .... 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.

     The Constitution Party supports and encourages the effort of
individual states to re-affirm that the U.S. Constitution explicitly
guarantees certain rights cannot be usurped by the federal government.
“The state sovereignty movement is picking up steam,” noted
Constitution Party National Committee Chairman Jim Clymer. “The
duopoly that controls our federal government has gotten out of hand.
Republicans and Democrats alike have been guilty of trampling states’
rights for generations. Finally, elected officials in state
legislatures across the country are pushing back,” Clymer added.

     D.C.’s blatant disregard for the Constitution has raised the
hackles of responsible elected state officials. The effort to restore
State Sovereignty is gaining momentum.

     Several states have tied their State Sovereignty bills to other
constitutionally-protected rights including 2nd Amendment gun owners’
rights and the 14th Amendment right to Life. The Montana State
Sovereignty bill , authored by Republican State Representative Joel
Boniek, sets the stage for a showdown with the federal government over
gun owners’ rights.

     It invokes the 9th Amendment as well: .... The regulation of
intrastate commerce is vested in the states under the 9th and 10th
amendments to the United States constitution, particularly if not
expressly preempted by federal law. Congress has not expressly
preempted state regulation of intrastate commerce pertaining to the
manufacture on an intrastate basis of firearms, firearms accessories,
and ammunition.

     The bill adds a stronger caveat: .... A personal firearm, a
firearm accessory, or ammunition that is manufactured commercially or
privately in Montana and that remains within the borders of Montana is
not subject to federal law or federal regulation, including
registration, under the authority of congress to regulate interstate
commerce.

     In Oklahoma, Republican State Representative Charles Key authored
his second state sovereignty bill, HJR 1089 (reintroduced as HJR 1003)
using words like “cease and desist.” Key has been a vocal opponent of
such overreaching federal dictates as the No Child Left Behind and
Real ID Acts for being unconstitutional, state sovereignty-stealing
mandates from D.C.. The bill has been referred to the Oklahoma House
Rules Committee.

     In Missouri, Republican State Representative Cynthia Davis
brought the issue of abortion into the State Sovereignty issue with HR
294. The bill (formerly HR 212), states: Missouri's sovereignty
(exists) under the Tenth Amendment and (the state) urges the United
States Congress to reject the passage of the federal Freedom of Choice
Act which prohibits regulations on abortion.

     Michigan Republican State Representative Paul Opsommer authored
State Sovereignty bill HCR 4 which aims to: … (A)ffirm Michigan’s
sovereignty under the Tenth Amendment to the Constitution of the
United States and to urge the federal government to halt its practice
of imposing mandates upon the states for purposes not enumerated by
the Constitution of the United States.

     The State Sovereignty statement in Arizona’s HCR 2034 bares its
teeth calling for dissolution of the federal government in the event:
…(The) President of the United States, the Congress of the United
States or any other federal agent or agency declares the Constitution
of the United States to be suspended or abolished, if the President or
any other federal entity attempts to institute martial law or its
equivalent without an official declaration in one or more of the
states without the consent of that state or if any federal order
attempts to make it unlawful for individual Americans to own firearms
or to confiscate firearms, the State of Arizona, when joined by
thirty-four of the other fifty states, declares as follows: that the
states resume all state powers delegated by the Constitution of the
United States and assume total sovereignty; that the states re-ratify
and re-establish the present Constitution of the United States as the
charter for the formation of a new federal government, to be followed
by the election of a new Congress and President

     Washington, and New Hampshire similarly put the feds on notice
that the United States Constitution and all its amendments are there
for a reason - to keep a centralized government from overstepping its
bounds and to protect the rights of American citizens.

     The Constitution Party encourages Americans across the political
spectrum to contact their state representatives and tell them to
uphold the Constitution with a 10th Amendment bill for their state!
