The Shot Heard Round New Hampshire

Could this be the beginning of the second American Revolution? It seems that these folks may certainly be giving it some thought. Other states should take note and keep the ball rolling.
This may be the only way to preserve our Constitution and our freedoms.

From The American Thinker by Larrey Anderson.

Four New Hampshire state legislators have introduced a resolution affirming Thomas Jefferson’s defense of state’s rights. House Concurrent Resolution 6 was recently introduced into the New Hampshire’s State-Federal Relations and Veterans Affairs Committee by Rep. Itse, Rep. Ingbretson, Rep. Comerford, and Sen. Denley.

Interestingly, the authors of the New Hampshire Resolution took most of the language from the document commonly known as “Jefferson and Madison’s Kentucky Resolutions of 1798.”*

Following in the footsteps of the Founding Fathers the New Hampshire Resolution declares:

That the several States composing the United States of America, are not united on the principle of unlimited submission to their General Government; but that, by a compact under the style and title of a Constitution for the United States, and of amendments thereto, they constituted a General Government for special purposes, -- delegated to that government certain definite powers, reserving, each State to itself, the residuary mass of right to their own self-government; and that whensoever the General Government assumes undelegated powers, its acts are unauthoritative, void, and of no force; that to this compact each State acceded as a State, and is an integral party, its co-States forming, as to itself, the other party: that the government created by this compact was not made the exclusive or final judge of the extent of the powers delegated to itself; since that would have made its discretion, and not the Constitution, the measure of its powers; but that, as in all other cases of compact among powers having no common judge, each party has an equal right to judge for itself, as well of infractions as of the mode and measure of redress….

The New Hampshire Resolution boldly defends the state’s (and it citizen’s) rights preserved under the 9th and 10th Amendments to the Constitution:

The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.

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.

Representative Daniel Itse, one of the resolutions co-authors, appeared yesterday on the Mike Church Show radio program. A transcript of the interview can be found here.

Representative Itse explained the reasoning behind the introduction of his resolution:

As a statement of the founders’ principle that it is the states who are in charge, and not the federal government; that it’s they [the states] who have the power to interpret the Constitution; and that the federal government has only definite delegated powers; and that any law enacted outside those delegated powers is null and void.

A concurrent resolution lacks legal authority. It is a non-binding expression of the intentions of the legislature. Nevertheless, these four New Hampshire state legislators have shown much courage by introducing (or reintroducing) these precious principles that have been the bedrock of our republic.

Maybe HCR 6, the shot heard round little old New Hampshire, will inspire more Americans to realize the desperate need to free ourselves from an overreaching federal government. In which case, the shot heard round New Hampshire might become the next shot heard round the world.

Update:


*Thomas Jefferson was the chief author of the Kentucky Resolutions and Madison was primarily responsible for the similar Virginia Resolutions. Both men may have worked on each set of resolutions.

You Have Got To Be Kidding

Well, folks, here is more of the change I can do without.

It seems the “distinguished” Democrat Congressman from was invited to attend a “terrorist” rally on the steps of the state capitol in St. Paul. I am speaking of Congressman Keith Ellison, Muslim representative from Minnesota, who used the Koran to take the oath of office for Congress.

Of course, being a good Muslim, he could not turn down the invitation, regardless of how anti-American it was. He evidently only represents the Muslim population in that State and absolutely forgot that he was a UNITED STATES CONGRESSMAN, not a representative of Hamas or Fatah, and that Minnesota is not an Islamic state. I can remember a time when this idiot would have been immediately condemned by the President and those in Congress and not only censured but, in all probability, removed from office under the charge of treason.

Have these people in Washington forgotten that we are in a war, a war against terrorism? Excuse me, I forgot, “The One” has declared there is no War on Terrorism because it sounds too harsh. Well, for the folks who voted for this empty-suited, unqualified, sock puppet for George Soros, this is what you are getting. A spineless do-nothing who will allow members of HIS party to give aid and comfort to a common enemy of all freedom-loving people, not only in this country but in the whole world. Al Franken will soon be joining with Ellison in protest against his country and against friends of this country if “The One” and Harry Reid have anything to do with it.

I suppose now would be an opportune time for me to say, I TOLD YOU SO! Expect more of the same in the coming four years. Also, expect that those who speak out against such acts and events will be accused of Hate Crimes.
