I cant believe they threw in involuntary servitude with persons male/female ages 18-24, limits on the right to bear arms, federal ability to declare martial law in any states without that states governers approval and many other things that were all tied into the stimulis package... the fed govt is walking all over the constitution and i can see why states are doing this, im from ohio an i hope it passes here

It was more like the EU setup prior to the Civil War, which was fought to change from "These United States" to "The United States". I for one believe that each state has the right to it sovereignty.

The reason Wash D.C. is performing a hostile takeover of the states is because it is a foreign nation, NOT part of the United States of America. The US government (aka Fed gov't) is actually a corporation owned & controlled by foreign bankers and should be called The United States of America, INC.

USA, Inc is NOT the Republic. It is a corporation. And the Federal Reserve Bank is a brand name of a bank owned by the Rothschilds.

all this is meaningless when our Chinese overlords take over. All hail the ching chong.

Funny how Gov.Perry didn't think the federal government was too big when his predocessor was waging war and supporting the Patriot Act, but when a Democratic president wants to help fund his state's dwindling education fund, he thinks the government is suddenly too big. Interseting how that worked out, huh? I find Gov. Perry to be an embarresment to Texas. I, for one didn't vote for him. To the millions of Texans who did, what the fuck were you guys thinking?

@xnothingbutthetruth As long as we end the federal taxes that people in those states pay that would be a good idea.

The Federal government is undermining we the peoples control over our own States, and they are costing us an excessive amount of money, we cant afford this! If the Federal government is going to tax money from we the people then All of that money should be and must be spent on matters of Federal Constitutional responsibility such as defense and border control. Not try to use that money to extent its tendrils of control/blackmail into domestic (State and individual) areas of responsibility.

Just look at Florida even counting the 700 billion dollar stimulus spending The Federal government has caused the Florida State budget 23% of all its cost and all of that is in presume of just 8% which the federal government acutely pays.

That's like spending 2 dollars and 87 cents just to not forfeit(to the other States) 1 dollar, taken from us for that propose by the Federal government.

That's crazy, the Federal government should not be able take this money for this reason in the first place.

hmm.. lets see, if the Fed. gov. were too stop sending us money.. lets see, where do you think they get the money from??? why us.. so, if we lets say.. didn't give them our STATE money, and kept. it.. well, look at all the funds we'd have too run our own state with.. as for medicare and social security.. well, lets see, that should be ran by the state too..

Claims that the government is inept from the inept. This is outrageous.. now republicans are trying to incite the next civil war - talk about sore losers.
