The 10th Amendment

It is a great thing to know that over twenty (Yes, 20!) states are re-stating and re-emphasizing the tenth amendment. This is great, we can begin talks about the USA being a confederacy and not have ignorance stand firm that we defeated any talks of a confederate country during the Civil War.

Amendment 10 - Powers of the States and People. Ratified 12/15/1791.

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.


This here is important, the most important clause or amendment in the entire constitution. It means the State is more important than the central government. The state decides it's education or energy policy.. it decides it's health care or how to deal with the private sector. We do not need the Federal Government policing them.

Please, please, look up your legislature and see if one of your states are voting on a bill to bring back this most important amendment, and ask any of your state Representatives to co-sponsor this bill, or to bring this bill to the table.

Too many people have died for liberty, and it's sadly looking like more people will have to die. Liberty is worth more than life, and more than a politician's pocket book. I stand with Patrick Henry.. give me liberty or give me death!
