State of Oklahoma Declares:
Sovereignty Over Bush Reich
Citing 10th Amendment
This, like the Homegrown Terrorism Act presently before Congress and Declaration of Sovereignty by the Lakota Nation over the past Winter Solstice, has been blacked out by the mainstream media.

Oklahoma Declares Sovereignty
Posted on June 14, 2008 by Barbara Peterson
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 serves 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.
