The Time
Is Now to Contact CT Legislators to Gain Support for Three Proposals to
Reassert the Tenth Amendment to Be Able to Declare Federal Laws
Unconstitutional.
This is
about the Constitution and the ability of the State to be able to say “no” to
the federal government when the federal government oversteps its authority
and adopts any law that it has no Constitutional authority to adopt. It is about the ability of the State to
protect itself from unlawful intrusion into its State sovereignty.

Legislation Update – 3/27/10
The GAE Committee ignored the people’s wishes and failed
to add our 10th Amendment resolution to their agenda to vote on,
so it has “died in committee.” There will be no vote on the floor of the
House or Senate, even though the likelihood of it passing there was slim to
none. They have effectively silenced our voices on the subject. Or so they
think.
Senator Michael McLachlan moved to open the agenda to add
the Resolution to it so that the Committee would have to vote on it. He made a valiant effort to discuss the
issue, to question the Committee Chairmen as to why they would oppose the
measure or a vote on it, and filibustered on the issue for about an hour and
a half before concluding that to continue would do more harm than good. The vote not to allow the agenda to be
opened to place the Tenth Amendment Resolution on it for a vote was 5
Democrats against opening the agenda, 4 Republicans in favor of opening it. While this measure effectively was killed
in committee, the issue of the viability of the Tenth Amendment to protect
the State and the people from unconstitutional federal laws is still alive
and well.
A strategy meeting will take place this weekend to decide
what steps to take next to force the legislature to listen to the people or
look like obstructionists. You will receive updates as to what is being
planned next. And thanks again to all who made their voices heard in support
of the 10th Amendment.
