How
Unconstitutional State Laws Get Passed
IMPORTANT: When State governors and
legislative leaders are ordered by the "powers that be" to get an exceptionally
onerous bill passed, it is done so by various devious methods. We'll
list some of their methods here, as we believe that forewarned is
forearmed.
Treaties
Do NOT Supersede the Constitution
... according to the U.S. Supreme Court, Thomas
Jefferson, and logical deduction.
The
Pecking Order
From our Regionalism Section
By T. David Horton, Constitutional Attorney.
Explains Constitutional authority and DUTY of State legislators; their power
over presidents, Congress, U.S. Supreme Court and Governors. Transcript of
David's testimony before Illinois State Legislature, 1978.
A
Fed's Eye View of the States
From the National Archives. DOJ Memorandum
explaining how the States can be 'encouraged, bribed and threatened' into
compliance by the Federal Government.
It's
Been Going On For a Long Time!
"Governor Martin To Seek Centralization - To
Ask Changes in Plans of State Government - WANTS MORE POWERS": Circa
1934
Implementing
the 10th Amendment - State Sovereignty Resolution
Written by Colorado State Senator Charles Duke.
Also you can view the status of the resolution
as of September 20, 1995.
Bill
Would Park U.S. Taxes in California's Treasury
March 9, 1997 San Diego Union Tribune:
"The state will rake in hundreds of millions in interest on federal tax dollars
and send them to the IRS quarterly -- if the federal government is not
withholding any federal funding, according to a bill introduced in the
Senate...Congress frequently passes laws that require states to do certain
things or lose federal funding... Californians pay about $150
billion a year in taxes, [not including] liquor and tobacco taxes. The
federal government then returns... an estimated $32 billion." It's called
Revenue Sharing.
Forcing
the Federal Government to Comply with the Constitution
How to turn the hostile into the compliant
Ohio Senator
Undercuts Darby Protest
In a letter to colleagues, he urges approval
of a controversial land-grab bill.
Russia
Gets Alaskan Islands
From our archives:
Alaska is believed to have some of the largest oil fields in the world. Much
of Alaska's oil cannot be pumped, however, because of wilderness designations
placed on much of Alaskan land. . . On June 1, 1990, then-Secretary of State
James Baker signed a secret executive agreement with Eduard Shevardnadze,
the former U.S.S.R. foreign minister. It specified that even though the treaty
had not been ratified, the U.S. and the U.S.S.R. agreed to abide by the terms
of the treaty beginning June 15, 1990.
Proposed
State Legislation: Legislators Must Read Before They
Vote
For the restoration of bill-writing authority
and responsibility only to the constitutionally elected members of the General
Assembly; and to require that ALL LEGISLATORS VOTING must attest to the fact
that they have read and fully understand the proposed
legislation.
10th
Amendment State Sovereignty Resolution
Original text as passed in most States.
State
Sovereignty Federal Tax Fund Act
Possibly a beginning to free the States from bondage to the federal
government. Introduced in Colorado, 1994 (failed) Passed the whole House
in Oklahoma in 1995 (died in Senate) Introduced in California in 1997 (failed)
in all cases for lack of citizen/constituent support. When we read U.S. DOJ
reports that admit States cannot be commanded to enact federal mandates,
then when the DOJ procedes to explain how the States can be "encouraged,
bribed and threatened"... we see that something must be done.
Resolution
to Get U.S. out of U.N. and U.N. out of U.S.
The resolution in entirely in correct form...
and because of the timeliness of its subject, we hope something like it may
be adapted and introduced in.. other state legislature[s]. State action we
think is essential in moving this project forward." — Kenneth White,
Virginia Taxpayers Association
Arizona's
Freon Use Act of 1995
Signed into law April 17, 1995 by Governor
Fife Symington, defying world ban on use of Freon.
Will
Florida Legislature Exercise Its Constitutional Duty?
"... One of the reasons that courts are likely to overstep is that they
are NOT held accountable by the Legislature — which has the power under
most Constitutions — to impeach them. The State Legislature can impeach
a State Judge for usurping powers that are denied that judge under the
Constitution, because it consists of a form of sedition against the lawful
government of the State, when you have judges playing legislators."
Tennessee
Legislature Backs Down
"Police cars blockaded Tennessee state Capitol
entrances and troopers patrolled legislative hallways this week as the state
legislature found itself under siege by thousands of angry taxpayers upset
at a plan to implement a state income tax. ... several legislators were
taken away by ambulance and hospitalized for blood pressure and heart problems
as tensions rose and tempers flared."
How
Could All 50 States Be Wrong?
Every State in the union refers to God in their
Constitutions. If God should be removed from all of the public domain, how
is it that every one of the states were wrong to include a reference to the
Creator?
Gary Robinson's Web
Site
Explains how state and federal governments
actually work; and how the Uniform Commercial Code was crafted. Lawyers control
government through the judicial branch. Gary has been a guest on Sweet Liberty.
Tapes are available.
Council of State Governments
Founded with Rockefeller money — through
the Laura Spelman Fund. "...The members of the Council of State Governments
include all elected and appointed officials and staff in the Executive,
Legislative, and Judicial branches of state government and the U.S.
territories."
State Governments
Locate your state government in the CSG web
page, then find the "Branches of Government" — House, Senate, Governor.

World Government
No such thing? A figment of our imagination?
Check out this link from the CSG website. States budget tens of thousands
to the CSG for state legislatures to be indoctrinated to globalism.
