I think a church with a disregard for a persons right to bear arms, would also be fine with Congress making laws establishing religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.

I'd put my kids up against anyone from D.C.

I wonder if they were bootlegged copies???

That's it!

Reminds me of that movie where the guy's landlady made gestures at him with her tounge. I can't remember the name of it I think it had Woody Harrelson in it. The new passtime for forum Mods????

If a state that has passed a tenth amendmet bill says no, then what? Just asking...

They're up to something.......

Purty sweet! Shot it yet?

Telecaster copy, not sure what brand, it's not a Fender. You can't beat a good steel picker, good job!

Not assuming anything, just posing some questions. Here are some more. Why would the states need to pass a bill for something they already have? We are going to re-affirm something that has already been affirmed. Sounds a lot like ummm....... government don't it? Why haven't the states asserted their powers before now? Where have we (myself included) been? Why would anyone assume that it will happen with the new bills? What "IF" a third Continental Congress was convened, how could anyone assume that a new constitution wouldn't give the federal government all the powers over the states? Yeah, people like us would expect the right thing to be done, but, could you guarantee it to happen? If one were to believe Alex Jones, he, himself said last week "We don't want a new Con-Con...". Now, let's say for a moment that he was dead right on everything, would it not be easier to divide and conquer the U.S.? Get each state to declare it's independence, then create conflict between them, call a Continental Congress write a new constitution, there ya go New World Order. LOL!, conspiracy theories from conspiracy theories! Tin foil hat and drawers I got the ensemble . I'm not trying to argumentative or presumptuous. Do I think that the Federal Government is and has been out of it's constitutional limits?, Yes. Do I think something needs to be done?, Yep. Is this the way to do it? I don't know yet, I'm just playing the Devil's Advocate........

The Constitution is a contract between the States, and it gives powers to the Federal Government, right? Now, with these Ninth and Tenth Amendment bills being proposed declaring individual state sovereignty. Could or would this cause the union of the states to break apart, kinda like what we have seen in Russia? Then what?

and diarrhea...

Rep. Susan Lynn introduced HJR 0108 on 2-18. Co-Sponsored by Representatives; Maggart, Hawk, Niceley, Swafford, Campfield, Haynes, Watson, Dunn, Eldridge, Coley, Bell, Floyd, Mumpower, Cobb J, Casada, Hill, Dennis, Evans. Get with you Reps. I've been very happy with mine. I'm not beating the Civil War drum or other craziness. But I think the Federal Gov. and the States needs to get back to the Constitution. So here it is for your perusal. Don't know it will go anywhere but nothing sure won't get done without YOU getting active in YOUR Government. HJR0108 00394664 -1- HOUSE JOINT RESOLUTION 108 By Lynn A RESOLUTION to affirm Tennessee's sovereignty under the Tenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States and to demand the federal government halt its practice of assuming powers and of imposing mandates upon the states for purposes not enumerated by the Constitution of the United States. 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 powers assumed by the federal government and federal mandates are directly in violation of the Tenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States; 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; now, therefore, - 2 - 00394664 BE IT RESOLVED BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES OF THE ONE HUNDRED SIXTH GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF TENNESSEE, THE SENATE CONCURRING, that we hereby affirm Tennessee's 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. We also demand the federal government to halt and reverse its practice of assuming powers and of imposing mandates upon the states for purposes not enumerated by the Constitution of the United States. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that a committee of conference and correspondence be appointed by the Speaker of the House and of the Senate, which shall have as its charge to communicate the preceding resolution to the legislatures of the several states, to assure them that this State continues in the same esteem of their friendship and to call for a joint working group between the states to enumerate the abuses of authority by the federal government and to seek repeal of the assumption of powers and the imposed mandates. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that a certified copy of this resolution be transmitted to the President of the United States, the President of the United States Senate, the Speaker and the Clerk of the United States House of Representatives, and to each member of Tennessee's Congressional delegation.

I got two so far. Guess I'll be getting more. Goes to show you that they have their head in their a**es and refuse to listen. Guess We need to work tward votin time!

Cute yunggin'! Mine LOVES permanent markers & sissy's "mate upt" (make up) Congrats!!

It may be all for naught, but I just got an e-mail from my rep. asking for the text of the legislation. There ain't nothing gonna happen if we sit on our asses and don't stand up for ourselves.

If the South would've won we'd a had it made, I'd prob'ly run for President of the Southern State. The day Elvis passed away would be our national holiday, If the South would a won we'd had a it made. I'd make my Supreme Court down in Texas, And we wouldn't have no killers gettin'off free. If they were proven guilty, then they would swing quickly, Instead of writin' books and smilin' on T.V. We'd all learn Cajun cookin in Louisiana, And I'd put that capitol back in Alabama. We'd put Florida on the right track ‘cause, we'd take Miami back, And throw all them pushers in the slammer. If the South would've won we'd a had it made, I'd prolly run for President of the Southern States. The day young Skynyrd died we'd show our Southern Pride, If the South would a won we'd had a it made. I'd have all the whiskey made in Tennessee, And all the horses raised in those Kentucky hills. The national treasury would be in Tupelo, Mississippi And I'd put Hank William's picture on one hundred dollar bills. I'd have all the cars made in the Carolina's, And I'd ban all the ones made in China. I'd have every girl and child sent to Georgia to learn to smile, And talk with that southern accent that drives me wild. I'd have all the fiddles made in Virginia Cause they sure can make'em sound so fine. I'm goin up on Wolverton mountain and see ole Clinton Powers, And have a sip of his good ole Arkansas wine. Hey, if the South woulda won we'd had it made I'd prolly run for President of the Southern States, When Patsy Cline passed away that would be our national holiday, If the South woulda won we'd a had it made. If the South woulda won we'd a had it made.

I can send you a slightly used plunger for a peg leg.

We are well on our way......
