Read that. Its amazing. I happened to stumble upon it this afternoon, and I waited for the media to mention it. Instead, I got nothing. NOTHING.

Fifteen states attempting to claim sovereignity, even in a strictly demonstrative sense, should garner at least a quick blurb on World News Tonight, but to not even mention it?! Why?

Write in to your local Congressman and show your support. This really is a solid demonstration of "We, the People", as opposed to "You, the Government".

Quote from link: Some in New Hampshire wish no one had thought of it. Richard Hesse, professor emeritus of constitutional law at the Franklin Pierce Law Center in Concord, said Itse's resolution could strip authority from state leaders, as well as from Congress and the president.

"When you think about this claim that if a state believes a federal law is unconstitutional it can just ignore it, then I presume if a county believed a state law was unconstitutional it could just ignore it," Hesse said. "Really what's implicit in this is an unwillingness to recognize a lawful authority." 

Someone should tell the good professor that a "lawful authority" does NOT pass un-constitutional laws.

The counties would have a much harder time trying to ignore it, as the 10th Amendment says states and people, respectively. I wish them best of luck!

My wife tried to get a Secession Petition started in Montana.  Contacted 23 newspapers and none of them would print the proposal.  So much for rising up--they cut ya off at the knees!  We don't have the funding to pay for it and have to rely on their "good will".  Sorta tells ya how they feel........ I'm having some "Bubba Effect" T shirts made up....Be a Bubba--Protect yourself and yours!!
