1. State 10th Amendment Resolutions – More than 32 states are working to pass 10th Amendment resolutions aimed at reclaiming both state sovereignty and states rights. More than 40 states will complete that process in the coming months. In accordance with Amendment IX, which states, “The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.” – the 10th Amendment provides, “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 states MUST remind the Fed that it is NOT an oligarchy of unelected Czars free to run roughshod over the people and the states. Rather that the Fed exists and serves at the pleasure of the states and the people, and is limited in authority to ONLY those matters assigned it in the Constitution.
2. State 2nd Amendment Legislation - necessary to the security of any free state, is the right of the people to keep and bear arms. – State legislatures MUST immediately protect the 2nd Amendment rights of their citizens to keep and bear arms, even in cases of Martial Law, as it is “necessary to the security of a free state,”-- Amendment II in the Bill of Rights specifically prohibits the federal government from ever infringing upon this fundamental right. The states MUST protect this right of the people, in order to protect the states.
3. Retake Control of their State – Over the years, states have allowed themselves to become financial dependents of the federal government. They first gave up their representation in Washington DC when they allowed the passage of the 17th Amendment, which removed state representation and reduced the US Senate to just another populous establishment which panders to whatever special interest has the biggest budget today.
States MUST cut themselves off from federal funds in order to eliminate federal control over their states. They MUST also repeal the 17th Amendment which is in direct violation of Article I – Section IV, and eliminated states rights by eliminating state representation in DC.
According to Article I – Section IV of the Constitution, the current US Senate is unconstitutional as it is no longer seated by state legislatures, and as a result, no longer represents state interests. It must be replaced by a constitutional senate seated by the legislatures of each state, which will once again represent the interests of the states.
4. Defund the Runaway Fed – The federal government has been headed for bankruptcy for almost a hundred years now. The Fed is in the business of “wasting the labors of the people under the false pretense of taking care of the people.”
It is able to confiscate private assets and wealth for purposes of redistribution, under the 16th Amendment. Today, between 95-97% of federal revenue comes from taxes once deemed “unconstitutional,” but foolishly allowed by the passage of the 16th Amendment in 1913.
The states MUST begin a state demanded repeal of the 16th Amendment in order to defund the runaway Fed and reclaim control of the revenue stream currently used by the Fed to run roughshod over the states. They must also regain control of this revenue stream in order to save their states from financial ruin at the command of the Fed.
5. Institute a New Government – “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles...”
Before the people are forced to abolish the runaway Fed altogether, the states must act to restore the Constitution and our Constitutional Representative Republic.
To restore a constitutional government respectful of our unalienable rights to Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness, the states must regain the power reserved them in the US Constitution and assert those powers to reign in a federal government which falsely believes that the people and the states, function at its pleasure, laying its foundation on such principles...” which are clearly enumerated in our nation’s founding documents.
