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.
