Government is at best a necessary evil. Smaller, more limited governments are always preferable to Federal regulation and governance. Indeed much of our Federal government legislation is mandated by even larger and more disgusting bureaucracies such as the United Nations, NAFTA, and the SPP.
Many brave patriots in the Oklahoma legislature are standing up for their people and demanding self-governance in the tradition of our Founding Fathers.
From WorldNetdaily.com, Oklahoma to feds: Don’t tread on me:
“Joint House Resolution 1089, passed by an overwhelming 92-3 margin, reasserts Oklahoma’s sovereignty under the Tenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, and, according to the resolution’s own language, is “serving notice to the federal government to cease and desist certain mandates.”‘
The Tenth Amendment states, “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.”

“The more we stand by and watch the federal government get involved in areas where it has no legal authority, we kill the Constitution a little at a time,” [Oklahoma State Rep. Charles Key] said. “The last few decades, the Constitution has been hanging by a thread.”
Specifically, Resolution 1089 says the following:
“The State of Oklahoma 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.”

“Key said his bill “is making a difference” in the way legislators in Oklahoma are talking and thinking about state’s rights. “I think it will make even more of a difference,” he said, “when I bring it up again.” He vows to put the pressure on Oklahoma’s Senate to pass a resolution like 1089, and he plans to begin communicating the cause with legislators around the country, urging them to bring up the issue in their states.”
