Today, Florida State Represenatives Workman and Plakon, along with co-sponsors Dorworth, Eisnaugle, Kelly, Precourt, and Tobia introduced House Memorial 19 (HM19), which “Urges Congress to honor provisions of U. S. Constitution & U. S. Supreme Court case law which limit scope & exercise of federal power.
The resolution reads in part:
NOW THEREFORE, Be It Resolved by the Legislature of the State of Florida: That the Legislature claims sovereignty under the Tenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States over all powers not otherwise enumerated and granted to the Federal Government by the Constitution of the United States.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that this memorial serves as a notice and a demand to the Federal Government, as our agent, to cease and desist, effective immediately, from issuing mandates that are beyond the scope of these constitutionally delegated powers.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that all compulsory federal legislation that directs states to comply under threat of civil or criminal penalties or sanctions or requires states to pass legislation or lose federal funding be prohibited or repealed.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that copies of this memorial be dispatched to the President of the United States, to the President of the United States Senate, to the Speaker of the United States House of Representatives, to the presiding officers of each state legislature of the United States of America, and to each member of the Florida delegation to the United States Congress.
Another reason to celebrate Independence Day!

There's no shortage of similar sentiment, a little of it kinda goofy but mostly in the right spirit the way this one is. I see two problems, though. There's a large and visible number of idiots with Obastard stickers on their cars and all that, enough that you can't look around and say "what voters?!? I don't see anybody that voted for this s#!t!" and so they can tell you it's a majority, and you can't just prove it false easily like you could have before 2000. And the second is, the commies are holding the gun now, and they're not going to let it go. You can complain and make resolutions and vote however you like, but they have Acorn, the cencus, and the McCain Feingold so there won't be another election (they'll take your ballot, but the winner has already been decided). This is a war and one side won't acknowledge it. We already lost.
