The Tenth Amendment…It CAN Prosper.

We need moral, constitutionally-driven leaders.  Fiction allows us to yearn for such leaders and helps us identify them and demand they serve a Republic that so desperately needs them.

The Governors stepped to the podium.  All were committed to the Demands, but they were taking tremendous political risks. They made their introductory comments  the Demands were read.

We, the undersigned, on this 15th day of September, 2011 demand the Executive, Legislative and Judicial branches of Federal government of the United States of America…

Acknowledge the existence of the Federal Government is at the pleasure of the States and the States’ citizens; and that it

Recognize the spirit and legitimate and lawful intentions of the Founding Fathers as documented by the Tenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States of America; and that it

Acknowledge the rights and authority of the individual States to act in the manner they deem appropriate to preserve the life, liberty and pursuit of happiness of their citizens; and that it

Will not enact laws, rules, orders and regulations or make any other such demands that create fiscal hardship for either the States or their citizens.

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.
