This is the biggest thing to happen in American politics since the civil war.

22 States have introduced bills within their own state legislatures to affirm their sovereignty under the 10th amendment of the constitution. The bills state that the federal government has been trampling on the constitution for years, and that if the federal government will not follow the constitution, this nullifies any obligation the state has to the federal government.

In essence the bills say "Follow the constitution or else we won't support the federal government"

I have provided a copy of the Michigan state legislature below

Additionally the website linked to below contains information on which states have introduced legislation like this, and which states that are considering it.

Alex Jones On Coast to Coast: The Exploding States’ Rights Movement & Martial Law

"Washington, New Hampshire, Arizona, Montana, Michigan, Missouri, Oklahoma, California, and Georgia have all introduced bills and resolutions declaring sovereignty under the Tenth Amendment. Colorado, Hawaii, Pennsylvania, Arkansas, Idaho, Indiana, Alaska, Kansas, Alabama, Nevada, Maine, and Illinois are considering such measures."

Personally I think the federal government needs to go. I mean, I like Obama and all but quite frankly I think the federal government is an abomination, our states can rule us just fine.

Excellent.

Nice article, it will be interesting to see what this leads to. I tend to agree with your last statement there. The federal government has definitely over stepped their boundaries when it comes to controlling the states. A huge reason we are where we are is because of the federal government acting irresponsibly.

I agree to a point with this. The Federal government is an abomination that would make our four fathers turn in their graves. But no federal government I think is extreme. I think the Federal government needs to be reminded of what its there for. To protect us from enemies, and to promote our general welfare.

The fed gov needs to be reminded that it has no affairs in state rights.

I absolutely agree. There are a lot of things today that would just sicken our founding fathers, and a good majority of those stem from the Federal government. It's about time the States started to stand up to the government, I mean after all its the Feds fault we are where we are today.

Hell yeah! Give the power back to the States! When the federal government uses the Constitution (perhaps the greatest man-made document in existence) as nothing more than toilet paper, the States have to take a stand.

Basically the U.S. has been heading this direction since Andrew Jackson's Presidency, he was really the first President that started using the Federal Government for more than what it was intended for. The kicker is that before he was President Jackson was a huge proponent of State's rights over Federal.

It's hard for me not to go on a rant about this, it's a subject I believe very dearly in. Not only has the Fed. Gov. been stomping on State's rights it's also been stomping all over individual rights as well.

I'll just end with this one example; the majority of the founding fathers were against a standing Army. They believed that if there's not a war going on then there should only be a small contingent of soldiers available for emergencies and that if need be they can build an Army and use the Militia. The Militia was the primary force used in those times, there was no such thing as a National Guard, basically every able bodied man could be called upon to take up arms.

The majority of the founding fathers were slave owners as well.
It was the federal government that integrated the schools in the South. It was the federal government that enacts the polution control laws for this country. Its the federal government that maintains the national park systems. The list goes on and on. If it was left to the states, some parts of this country would be third world and others would be dictitorial.
