The Tenth Amendment-YES!

Dear R3VOLutionaries,
Soon our State Legislative sessions will begin. The nation is reeling from one assault after another upon our Constitution. In an effort to empower each one of us I would like to share with you the 10th Amendment Resolution that Constitutional advocates are supporting in my state. I encourage you to show this bill to your representatives that may be so inclined and use it to at least begin a dialog now.
This is THE time to raise the issue of sovereignty like never before. If the US government keeps moving along its current path then we must do all we can to see to it that our states take steps to preserve our constitutional guarantees.
Read this article on the 10th Amendment Resolution and then a message from Representative Charles Key and contact your lawmakers about submitting this type of resolution. If you feel unsure about how to approach them then just see to it that they get a copy of HR 1089 and urge them to contact Representative Key, the author of the resolution you see below.
Our visits, calls, letters and faxes and assemblies are some ways to indicate to state legislators the direction in which the wind blows. We are sure that the time has come to redouble our efforts in defending the Constitution in order to protect our Natural and legal Rights.
It is imperative that bring this trend to the attention of our lawmakers and encourage them to do all they can to insulate us from the any further folly by the federal government. I have great faith that this current wave of on-fire Liberty advocates can accomplish this. This belief is rooted in all that I have witnessed personally over the last couple years and cemented by the knowledge that we are complementing the foundation laid by the tireless efforts of Patriots who have labored for years fighting this battle.
I would also like to make you aware of The Constitutional Alliance of which I am proud to say I am a member. This Constitutional Alliance is a coalition of individuals and groups committed to preserving state and national sovereignty, the unalienable rights to life, liberty, and property as pronounced in the Declaration of Independence and protected under the Bill of Rights. We are currently focusing intensely on supporting the states in their efforts to preserve sovereignty. Here is the website with more info on the Constitutional Alliance;

If you would like to join with us and receive inside news and alerts, please join “The Constitutional Alliance” group on Facebook. We will need to be able to disseminate information rapidly in the coming days to alert constitutional advocates of events, legislation and more that needs your support so please join now and share this information with your like-minded connections. There is still a chance to restore our nation but it will take all of us willing and ready to act for it to happen so let us get our portion of the freedom network up and humming now!

Please, let me know if I can be of any help to you and likewise, anything you can offer this effort is appreciated.

In Liberty,
Kaye Beach

Oklahoma legislature sends powerful 10th Amendment message to Washington, D.C.
http://proliberty.com/observer/20080622.htm

On June 16, 2008, the Oklahoma legislature passed Joint Resolution 1089 by a margin of 92-3. The resolution, published in its entirety below, calls for the federal government to, effective immediately, cease and desist imposing mandates that supersede its constitutional authority and violate state sovereignty under the 10th Amendment.
The following resolution has been distributed among each of the parties listed per the resolution.

A Joint 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 directing distribution.
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 2008, the states are demonstrably treated as agents of the federal government; and
WHEREAS, many federal mandates are directly in violation of the Tenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States; 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.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES AND THE SENATE OF THE 2ND SESSION OF THE 51ST OKLAHOMA LEGISLATURE:
THAT 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.
THAT this 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.
THAT a copy of this resolution be distributed 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 of the United States of America, and each member of the Oklahoma Congressional Delegation.

A message from OK State Rep. Charles Key to supporters of the Tenth Amendment Resolution nationwide;
Dear Friend,
I am honored by your kind words of support and greatly encouraged that you and so many other people all over the country understand that the U.S. Constitution is the supreme law of the land – regardless what the Supreme Court, Congress, or anyone else says or does.
I believe it is very clear that the federal government has gone far beyond its lawful boundaries and needs to be corrected. Unfortunately, many have stood silently by and allowed this to happen even though they took an oath to protect and defend the constitution against enemies both “foreign and domestic”.
Now more than ever we must hold public officeholders accountable to the oath of office they took to follow the Constitution.
I need your help to identify other state legislators in your state who are or might be willing to sponsor the Tenth Amendment Resolution in their state. If you know of such legislators, please e-mail their names to my legislative assistant Sharon Brown at sharon.brown@okhouse.gov
Thank you again for your support and efforts on behalf of our country.
Sincerely,
Representative Charles Key
House District 90
