Many people don't realize the importance of State Sovereignty, however the issue is gaining momentum as 21 states now have legislation either passed or pending regarding this issue.
Why is it so important?
Thomas Jefferson once wrote, "When all government, domestic and foreign, in little as in great things, shall be drawn to Washington as the center of all power, it will render powerless the checks provided of one government on another, and will become as venal and oppressive as the government from which we separated."
The Founding Fathers included the 9th and 10th amendments to give relief to the people from an excessively over-bearing, or dictatorial government.
As we go about our everyday business, the United States Senate is consulting with the U.N. Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC). The UNCRC is an international treaty focused on promoting the rights of children and seeking to give children priority in the implementation of governmental measures. The Convention claims to offer a road map that will guide government officials in the improvement of laws and policies, by defining which rights the government should give to children.
Now I don't know about you, but I don't want INTERNATIONAL laws telling me how to raise my children!
Obama's nominee for "regulatory czar", Cass Sunstein, has advocated a "Fairness Doctrine" for the Internet that would require opposing opinions be linked and also has suggested angry e-mails should be prevented from being sent by technology that would require a 24-hour cooling off period.
Every day brings a brand new threat against our very basic rights as an American citizen. We MUST draw a line in the sand somewhere and reclaim the privileges our forefathers fought and died for and then penned so eloquently into a document we call the United States Constitution.
Before the next legislative session in Kentucky, I hope to take thousands of signatures to our representatives so that they know that we agree with historian Kevin Gutzman, who has said that those who would give us a “living” Constitution are actually giving us a dead one, since such a thing is completely unable to protect us against the encroachments of government power.
In 2010 PASS Kentucky Sovereignty Legislation!
