That there are 25 states with pending legislation telling the Fed Gov to kiss off. Anyone know where to find a list?

I'm pretty certain TN joined those ranks fairly recently.

Legislators in Tennessee submitted House Joint Resolution 108 (HJR0108) on February 18th. While it’s non-binding, some of the language is quite well put. Here’s the intro:

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.

I really like the wording of that intro from TN.

Of course, unless the states are willing to do without federal funding it won't amount to much. If, however, the states are willing to financially take care of themselves sans federal funding this movement will have some teeth.

As it should.

10th Amendment = Leech repellent.

Look for Senate Bill 1644 also.

I think it is being looked at and I believe I saw Sen.Mae Beaver's name attached to it.

Go Girl!!!

If the Tennessee bill is not binding, what's the point? I loved the wording of the intro.

Won't have to worry about it.. The states don't have to give the feds the money.. and let the feds give 3/4 of it back with strings attached.. The states can just keep it and not have to fool with the feds.. period.

never mind. I started typing and realized I don't really know what I'm talking about :-)
