State Sovereignty

Earlier I provided the 9th and 10th amendments to our constitution. This issue is plain and simple. The federal government only has so many powers. Those powers are borrowed from the states which are the sovereign powers in the nation but where does the states get their power? The states get it from the citizens of that state.

Too long the legislative branch of our federal government has treated us like they were elected royalty. They beg for our votes when their up for re-election then the next day treat us like dirty commoners. I for one am tired of writing letters to my hired representatives and having them tell me thanks but bug off.

I don’t care what state you’re in we need to remind them of state sovereignty. I believe this will remind them that they aren’t the lords and ladies of the US kingdom but hired representatives of a sovereign people. They need to do the job we send them to do or come election day they’re fired. I always hear the media refer to them as the “leadership in Washington”. I think that’s wrong. I think the common people are the true leadership in this country. We’ve just forgotten that. The fed’s only have the powers borrowed from us. We lend them the authority to take care of the infrastructure and defence of the nation. Other than that they need to stay out of our everyday lives and it’s time they remembered it.
