THE LOVE HAS COME!!!
http://www.azleg.gov/FormatDocument.asp?inDoc=/legtext/49leg/1r/bills/hcr2024p.htm
20 States have followed suite so far and are adopting like measures towards their freedom. The wording may look familiar due to it being the wording of one T Jefferson and his associates, some the founding fathers.
REFERENCE TITLE: sovereignty; tenth amendment.
State of Arizona
House of Representatives
Forty-ninth Legislature
First Regular Session
2009
HCR 2024
Introduced by
Representatives Burges, Ash, Biggs, Boone, Gowan, Mason, Montenegro, Pancrazi, Seel, Williams: Barto, Campbell CL, Court, Crandall, Crump, Driggs, Fleming, Goodale, Hendrix, Kavanagh, Lesko, McComish, McGuire, Miranda B, Murphy, Nichols, Pratt, Quelland, Stevens, Tobin, Weiers JP, Senator Harper
A concurrent RESOLUTION
claiming sovereignty under the tenth amendment to the constitution of the united states over certain powers, serving notice to the federal government to cease and desist certain mandates and providing that certain federal legislation be prohibited or repealed.
(TEXT OF BILL BEGINS ON NEXT PAGE)
Whereas, the Tenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States reads as follows: "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"; and
Whereas, the Tenth Amendment defines the total scope of federal power as being that specifically granted by the Constitution of the United States and no more; and
Whereas, the scope of power defined by the Tenth Amendment means that the federal government was created by the states specifically to be an agent of the states; and
Whereas, today, in 2009, the states are demonstrably treated as agents of the federal government; and
Whereas, many federal laws are directly in violation of the Tenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States; and
WHEREAS, the Tenth Amendment assures that we, the people of the United States of America and each sovereign state in the Union of States, now have, and have always had, rights the federal government may not usurp; and
Whereas, Article IV, section 4, United States Constitution, says in part, "The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government", and the Ninth Amendment states that "The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people"; and
Whereas, the United States Supreme Court has ruled in New York v. United States, 112 S. Ct. 2408 (1992), that Congress may not simply commandeer the legislative and regulatory processes of the states; and
Whereas, a number of proposals from previous administrations and some now pending from the present administration and from Congress may further violate the Constitution of the United States.
Therefore
Be it resolved by the House of Representatives of the State of Arizona, the Senate concurring, that:
1. That the State of Arizona hereby 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.
2. That this Resolution serves as notice and demand to the federal government, as our agent, to cease and desist, effective immediately, mandates that are beyond the scope of these constitutionally delegated powers.
3. 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.
4. That the Secretary of State of the State of Arizona transmit copies of this resolution to the President of the United States, the President of the United States Senate, the Speaker of the United States House of Representatives, the Speaker of the House and the President of the Senate of each state's legislature and each Member of Congress from the State of Arizona.
20 States have followed suite so far and are adopting like measures towards their freedom. The wording may look familiar due to it being the wording of one T Jefferson and his associates, some the founding fathers.
Time Will Tell
Dan Vinson- my friend and political mind writes the following:
Two of the biggest enemies to a free society are a) lack of information and b) apathy.
Every American should go to YouTube and view the video of Barney Frank (D Mass.) on his comments regarding Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Republicans approached Congress YEARS AGO recommending more oversight on these two Government Sponsored Entities (GSE's) stating they were afraid that mismanagement could cause an economic tsunami of terrible proportions.
Barney Frank (and other Democrats) poopoo'd the advice saying (paraphrased) "There's nothing wrong with Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, they're fundamentally sound. And even if they do go belly up the taxpayer isn't going to bail them out."
Fast Forward a few years: They were NOT fundamentally sound, they were cooking the books, and American taxpayers HAVE bailed them out.
So Barney, strike one, strike two, strike three, YOU'RE OUT. Wrong, wrong, wrong. Yet most Americans don't know these facts. And what's sadder still, is that most that do know, don't care. There is a general feeling that 'government is going to do what they want and there's nothing we can do about it.' Wrong again, honey.
As was said by George W. Bush, there are ramifications to elections. NOT just the Presidency but Congress as well. People got elected and this is what they've done.
People need to take PERSONAL responsibility for the choices they've made, including they choices they make at the polls.
MUCH of the proposed spending that is going to take place as part of this new "stimulus" sham, er, I mean 'plan,' won't take effect for two years. Guess what? There'll be Congressional elections before then. We can vote for people who will REPEAL these parts of the 'plan.' If we don't, we are saddling our children and our children's children with the biggest welfare payment in the history of mankind.
The question is, do you have the intelligence, the guts, and the will to do it. Time will tell.

My Right to life
simple slaves (a generalization*):**
You have the owner, he makes sure that all the slaves have equal treatment, except for those he favors. They all get food given to them, no matter their issue; sick, weak, strong, lazy, or ambitious. They all get equal right at advancement(which happens to be little to none), no matter their issue; sick, weak, strong, lazy, or ambitious. If one fails, a careful slave owner would do what they could to remedy the situation and get the worker into the field to work again, a loss of a worker did then the same as it does today, it reduces production. Slave owners liked to have slave work all day long for several reasons, more money is the obvious one, the next was to keep them worn out. The last is not the most obvious but will hit as logical; it kept them busy and prevented them from working together to free the mass of slaves. now every once in a while one would get away and escape to better life. The slaves around them would cheer for that one, hoping one day it would be them. Their were some slaves that were more privileged than the others, these would be ever so grateful to their owners for whatever handout they got that was above and beyond the normal handout. Slaves were not allowed to own weapons, especially guns. Any enterprise they had in whatever task they did was not looked upon kindly, by either the owner or the slave populous (save for the cotton gin). Any slave that seemed to work harder for the most part was approached by other slaves and asked to pull back, it made them look bad and raised the expectations, which if expectations were not met there were consequences from the owner.
Replace the word owner with the word Government, and slave with the word Citizen and you have what this country is becoming. In other words, Socialism. So in essence, you have a certain few, a certain elite group of people that give handouts to the working, they provide universal health care, housing, and general aid. There is a lot of talk about Lincoln, he would have abhorred what we are becoming today, his view was that all men should have an equal opportunity to become rich or poor. If they failed in doing so he would literally say, "Better luck next time." There would be no handouts, there would be no bailouts, there would be no Government stepping in. This is how America is supposed to work. Free enterprise is the opposite of socialism. America = free enterprise.

This is some of where I get my information.
I base my opinions off of this: http://scriptures.lds.org/
These are not extreme websites. these are a part of the voice of conservatism, these are a part of who are trying to preserve our rights, not have them limited and abused. these are some of those that are trying to preserve our right to believe in God and create/dictate our own lives, while not having to pick up the slack of others.
* I know that conditions for some slaves were far worse then depicted while others were not, this is a generalization
**Remember, there have been endless amounts of slavery over the history of man, this by no means depicts any one time in the lat 7000 years of history.

To protect us from them.
So I watched a video that has come to popularity recently on youtube (posted here), and I have to say that I love it. I love how she is able to make her point so blatantly. What really strikes me is the way the politicians are listening, you ahve the cut to one where he is talking to someone next to him, then on to liberal Chuckie Schumer who seems like he is only listening because he has to, he seems to already have had his mind made up. We know that the Brady bill passed so maybe that congressman had. I know I am not the most knowledgeable about who is who in this video or as to what exactly was going on at this time in the hearing, so my idea on it is all.
So after watching that it made me think about some things. I have some statistics on gun control from all over the world. I will post those, they were written by a reporter in Phillidelphia:
A LITTLE GUN TRUE HISTORY
I Thought you might appreciate this . .
In 1929, the Soviet Union established gun control. >From 1929 to 1 953, about 20 million dissidents, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.
------------------------------
In 1911, Turkey established gun control. From 1915 to 1917, 1.5 million Armenians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.
------------------------------
Germany established gun control in 1938 and from 1939 to 1945, a total of 13 million Jews and others who were unable to defend themselves were rounded up and exterminated.
------------------------------
China established gun control in 1935. From 1948 to 1952, 20 million political dissidents, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.
------------------------------
Guatemala established gun control in 1964. From 1964 to 1981, 100,000 Mayan Indians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.
------------------------------
Uganda established gun control in 1970. From 1971 to 1979, 300,000 Chris tians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.
------------------------------
Cambodia established gun control in 1956. From 1975 to 1977, one million educated' people, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.
-----------------------------
Defenseless people rounded up and exterminated in the 20th Century because of gun control: 56 million.
------------------------------
It has now been 12 months since gun owners in Australia were forced by new law to surrender 640,381 personal firearms to be destroyed by their own government, a program costing Australia taxpayers more than $500 million dollars. The first year results are now in:
List of 7 items:
Australia-wide, homicides are up 3.2 percent.
Australia-wide, assaults are up 8.6 percent.
Australia-wide, armed robberies are up 44 percent (yes, 44 percent)!
In the state of Victoria alone, homicides with firearms are now up 300 percent. Note that while the law-abiding citizens turned them in, the criminals did not, and criminals still possess their guns!
While figures over the previous 25 years showed a steady decrease in armed robbery with firearms, this has changed drastically upward in the past 12 months, since criminals now are guaranteed that their prey is unarmed.
There has also been a dramatic increase in break-ins and assaults of the ELDERLY. Australian politicians are at a loss to explain how public safety has decreased, after such monumental effort and expense was expended in successfully ridding Australian society of guns. The Australian experience and the other historical facts above prove it.
You won't see this data on the US evening news, or hear politicians disseminating this information.
Guns in the hands of honest citizens save lives and property and, yes, gun-control laws adversely affect only the law-abiding citizens.
Take note my fellow Americans, before it's too late!
The next time someone talks in favor of gun control, please remind them of this history lesson.
With guns, we are 'citizens'.
Without them, we are 'subjects'.
During WWII the Japanese decided not to invade America because they knew most Americans were ARMED!
If you value your freedom, Please spread this anti-gun control message to all of your friends.
