South Dakota Declares Sovereignty
I haven’t seen much about this in the news stream, but the South Dakota Senate voted to approve House Concurrent Resolution 1013 late last week. All it’s waiting on now is a signature from the Governor. In a nutshell, the bill is a declaration “Reasserting sovereignty under the Tenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States over certain powers and serving notice to the federal government to cease and desist certain mandates. ” (click that link to read the full text)
I find it somewhat ironic that at the same time that all of these states are reasserting their sovereignty, their representatives in the U.S. Congress and the U.S. Senate are working very hard to further extend the reach of the governement. I wonder who is truly representing the constituents of their state? My guess would be the local governments.
The bells are tolling folks. There’s a battle brewing, and peaceful tea parties are just the beginning.
