Our current federal government knows no bounds to the limits of its power.  It currently isn’t even a shadow of how it was constitutionally supposed to be. ACBS animated gif Many people are finally understanding that the problems we are experiencing in our economy and our lives is the overreach of government into our everyday lives.  Many, wanting to return to more local and constitutional government, have finally begun to understand that power that is taken from the states will never be given back simply by “voting the bums out”.

People, through their respective states, are beginning to assert themselves by beginning to take back their stolen power by passing legislation aimed at counteracting federal overreach by either nullifying it or making provisions to withhold state resources to carry the federal action out.  This has had an extraordinary effect because the federal government, on its own, does not have the resources to enforce all of its mandates, unconstitutional laws, or regulations.

Here are just a few of the states that are beginning to turn the tide in this coming legislative session:

Virginia is seeking to rescind certain FDA Regulations in SB732.

Missouri is looking to Nullify the ban on industrial hemp SB255.

Virginia’s HB2144 is looking to stop the indefinite detention provisions written into sections 1021 and 1022 of the National Defense Authorization Act.

New Hampshire is looking to bring down common core in its state in SB101.

Kentucky is looking to nullify Federal gun control in HB13 and HB120.

Texas is looking to stop Obamacare in SJR16

Tennessee is looking to stop Military Equipment from Pentagon 1033 Program in SB0039

Vermont has legislation that would nullify warrant-less drone spying in SB18

Indiana is looking to nullify some of the FDA’s restrictions as well as help the terminally ill in HB 2300.

These are just a very few of the examples of the states putting their foot down on the federal government seizing control of areas of management and governance that were clearly reserved to the states and its people and guaranteed to them by the 10th amendment.
