From the annals of the governor the Right loves to love and the Left loves to hate: Gov. Sarah Palin has signed a joint resolution declaring Alaska's sovereignty under the Tenth Amendment to the Constitution– and now 36 other states have introduced similar resolutions as part of a growing resistance to the federal government:
Just weeks before she plans to step down from her position as Alaska governor, Palin signed House Joint Resolution 27, sponsored by state Rep. Mike Kelly on July 10, according to a Tenth Amendment Center report. The resolution "claims sovereignty for the state 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."
Alaska's House passed HJR 27 by a vote of 37-0, and the Senate passed it by a vote of 40-0.
According to the report, the joint resolution does not carry with it the force of law, but supporters say it is a significant move toward getting their message out to other lawmakers, the media and grassroots movements.
It's a wild time we live in. Revolutionary, really! I've been so inspired by the shift towards so many Americans to taking their country back that while I was pondering various patio furniture sets to replace our rinky dink set, I stumbled upon and purchased a dozen pocket-sized copies of the United States Constitution to share with friends and family.
I can't think of a better way to celebrate summer... sharing the solution to what to do about the writing on the wall.
