State Sovereignty - House Joint Memorial 4009

CITIZENS FOR HJM 4009
Washington State Sovereignty Action Alert

What is going on: Over the summer we have seen how our Federal Representatives have ignored or belittled the very people they are supposed to represent, "We the People". There is an ever increasing attempt to centralize government to those in DC which would essentially silence our voices and nullify our Constitution. There is an all out assault on our freedoms on a number of issue: Free Speech, Health Care, Cap and Trade, Gun rights, The National Guard, Education, Transportation, Banking, Mandatory Vaccines and the list goes on. Our Constitution was founded on the principle of Limited Government! We must stand up for the Constitution and hold our representative accountable and we do have tools to do so. The Tenth Amendment:

"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."

What can you do:

1. Listen to the interview between Rep. Matt Shea (WA 4th Dist.) & the 10th Amendment Center - Rep. Shea Interview

2. Educate yourself on the 10th Amendment

3. Educate others on the 10th Amendment

4. Take tour of the Capitol in Olympia on October 1st (www.cpwashington-events.blogspot.com)

5. Make an appointment to speak with your state representatives to talk with them about House Joint Memorial 4009 , the Tenth Amendment and Out of Control Government. Voice your concerns and ask them to support State Sovereignty bills during the next session.

6. Organize or attend 10th Amendment rallies! Our state representatives are supposed to be protecting Washington State resident's rights and freedoms. They took an oath to uphold the US Constitution and our Washington State Constitution. Some of our representatives will be standing up for us during the next session. Will you stand with them? Other states are standing up to the out of control Federal Government; will our state stand with them?

Representative Matt Shae has also signed the 10-4 pledge. It can be viewed here: Pledge If you want to see a map of who has signed the pledge thus far: Map. The pledge is a tool that can be used with current representatives holding office and those who are seeking to win in upcoming elections. Will they sign it? If no, why?

The Constitution Party interview

By Ronald Glenn

America's Right

The third party. At a time when more and more people on both sides of the political debate feel disenfranchised and disappointed in their respective parties, the talk surrounding a viable third party is growing. Whether it be the Green Party on the left, the Constitution Party on the right, or the Libertarian Party on a completely different plane, whispers have become shouts.
