STATE OF OKLAHOMA
2nd Session of the 51st Legislature (2008)
HOUSE JOINT
RESOLUTION 1089 By: Key
AS INTRODUCED
A Joint Resolution claiming sovereignty under the
Tenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United
States over certain powers; serving notice to the
federal government to cease and desist certain
mandates; and directing distribution.
WHEREAS, the Tenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United
States reads as follows:
"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."; and
WHEREAS, the Tenth Amendment defines the total scope of federal
power as being that specifically granted by the Constitution of the
United States and no more; and
WHEREAS, the scope of power defined by the Tenth Amendment means
that the federal government was created by the states specifically
to be an agent of the states; and

WHEREAS, today, in 2008, the states are demonstrably treated as
agents of the federal government; and
WHEREAS, many federal mandates are directly in violation of the
Tenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States; and
WHEREAS, the United States Supreme Court has ruled in New York
v. United States, 112 S. Ct. 2408 (1992), that Congress may not
simply commandeer the legislative and regulatory processes of the
states; and
WHEREAS, a number of proposals from previous administrations and
some now pending from the present administration and from Congress
may further violate the Constitution of the United States.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
AND THE SENATE OF THE 2ND SESSION OF THE 51ST OKLAHOMA LEGISLATURE:
THAT the State of Oklahoma hereby claims sovereignty under the
Tenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States over all
powers not otherwise enumerated and granted to the federal
government by the Constitution of the United States.
THAT this serve as Notice and Demand to the federal government,
as our agent, to cease and desist, effective immediately, mandates
that are beyond the scope of these constitutionally delegated
powers.
THAT a copy of this resolution be distributed to the President
of the United States, the President of the United States Senate, the
Speaker of the United States House of Representatives, the Speaker

of the House and the President of the Senate of each state's
legislature of the United States of America, and each member of the
Oklahoma Congressional Delegation.

Seems the United States aren't as United as I thought.

There's been a seperatist movement in Alaska for a long time.

[Arctic_Menace]

Yeah...If only Alaskans would join Canada...

[Pseudonym]

There are secessionist movements everywhere. I doubt any of them will come to fruition in the US. That sort of thing was crushed rather solidly back in the 19th century.

[Arctic_Menace]

the most "active" and believed in ones are those of Maine, Vermont, California and Alaska...

[dog77_1999]

To say the United States isn't united is like saying Australians are on the brink of civil war. Face it, these sessionalist movements are at most a few dozen people, and nothing on the order of Quebuec.

This site will make you smile.

I've seen that site before...


I long to see the day that Canada takes full control of the Arctic by accepting Alaska into Confederation, getting into a war with Denmark and snatching Greenland away from them and reunites Acadia by accepting Maine into Confederation. Oh, and just getting Vermont and everything in between to become a part of Canada...

The Federal government will gladly stop sharing the expenses on those mandates.

O.K. Quit being so divisive as a nation, unity is the best for all.

I would have to say that the true number of soverign supports in Quebec isnt that great these days either...

But magnitudes more than anything in the US. I don't think there is an independence movement that has 10% of the population.
