  • The US Constitution intended to protect the People from the powerful States, not the States from the People. We, the People need to forget “State Rights,” and fight harder than ever for “Individual Rights” while we still have some left. Happy Day of the People, i mean, Columbus Day. 

  • Many Southern Confederate-Secessionists (Rick Perry & Pals), fight for “State Rights,”attempting to dismantle the rights of individuals to assemble and form labor unions and do away with American institutions that prohibit them from keeping slave-like employees at their own States. Happy Day of the People, i mean, Columbus Day.
