The excitement is palpable. I can barely contain my joy! Even if the current movements fail, in the long run, we've already scored a victory with just the movements' existences.
Unless you watch Fox, you're not gonna know about this stuff, but I swear to you, it's gonna get big.
Three major things are happening right now:
1) The Call for a Constitutional Convention
2) States' Gun Rights: The fight for States' Rights - Liberty or Secession
3) Texas' Stance on the Constitution
( Abolishing the 16th Amendment? )
The next two are the responses of State legislatures to the Stimulus Package and the TEA Parties!
If y'all remember about the Stimulus Package, the democrats included a provision within the legislation that superceded the State Governors' powers. It stated that if the governor rejected the funding or parts of the funding, the state legislatures had to go around him/her and accept it anyway. This was, obviously, a huge finger to States' Rights. So the legislatures across the nation are fighting back as detailed below...
( Intra-State Gun Law )
But of course, Texas always has to take it a step further... ;)
( Texas strictly adheres to the Constitution )
"When people fear their government, there is tyranny. When government fears the people, there is liberty." - Thomas Jefferson
I don't quite know where we are in terms of President Jefferson's scale here, but I can say that if things continue to go this way, with the continuing TEA Parties and mounting pressure from the States - this is spreading - there's going to be a shift in the US.
They are punch drunk with power on Capitol Hill, and people have finally had enough. This is only the beginning! You can COUNT on at least #2 going to the Supreme Court.
Could we lose the battle? Yes, I suppose we could. But then, I don't think Americans will sit by and allow all of our rights to be dictated by the beaurocrats in Washington DC, to abdicate all things intra and inter state to the the federal government.
If this is overturned, so many threads of the Federal government are cut off in an instant! So many things that the Progressive Movement has shoved down our throats on the federal level. - And there is a difference between Liberals, modern day "Progressives," and the Progressive Movement. The PM has infiltrated the Republican Party, as well.
We are witnessing history, guys! Don't you want to be a part of it? :D
