PLEASE GIVE US SOVEREIGNTY- HJ 26
Over 20 States are declaring Sovereignty under the 10th Amendment, a necessary step for protection from government tyranny.
Our federal government was given very limited, enumerated constitutional powers by the states which formed it and states are now stepping up to the plate to claim back their rights. Montana needed to be on this long list of states taking a strong position in defense of their rights from an increasingly overbearing government. House Resolution HJ 26, sponsored by Rep. Michael More, is Montanas sovereignty declaration.
But this important legislation was blocked from the beginning. First of all, Democratic Speaker of the House Bob Bergren was unethically preventing this resolution from being heard.
Then enough pressure was finally applied, it was allotted to the last hour of the last day committee hearing along with another resolution dealing with deficit spending. This was not enough time for due consideration on issues which were overwhelmingly supported by Montanans through phone calls, e-mails and many who showed up to testify from throughout the state.
Then, when the rushed vote came, all 9 democrats on the Judiciary Committee followed marching orders and voted NO, in complete disregard for the will of the people and the interests of the state.
By their actions, Bergren and the nine judiciary members have ignored, violated their oaths of office. It is a sad day when those we trust to represent us show such deliberate, cold betrayal of their constituents and such equal total disregard for Montanas rights and sovereignty.
Just one reason we need State Sovereignty:
H.R. 45 the Blair Holt Licensing and Record of Sale Act introduced recently in Congress. At the end of the two-year "grace period" allowed under H.R. 45, any person in possession of a firearm who is not licensed by the U.S. Attorney General to possess firearms would become a federal felon. Here's the Catch 22: To even apply for the required license under H.R. 45, an applicant would be required to present a "Real ID." The 2007 Montana Legislature outright rejected Real ID for Montana by a vote of 100-0 in the House and 50-0 in the Senate. Thus, no Montana gun owner could even apply for the H.R.45-required federal license. After two years, we'd ALL be federal felons.
The Montana antidote for H.R. 45 in congress is House Joint Resolution 26 before the Montana Legislature, the Montana Sovereignty Resolution.
Quit grousing about the Blair Holt bill in Congress and get to work on the Montana armor against it. We've given you the shield to protect us all from the Blair Holt bill. That is HJ 26 in the Montana Legislature. Get moving and get HJ 26 out of the House Judiciary Committee.
Please SIGN THE PETITION TODAY for personal delivery to the Sate Capital by March 9 2009.

- Where does one begin on this? With the outright fascist takeover of our banks and the socialization of this country's massive debts, this bill is much more about our future freedoms being in jeopardy. It is vital we reassert our States' rights, in order to protect Montanans as a group, both now & in the future, especially in the precarious times we are living in today.

- We have grave concerns about what is going on in this country right now. We can believe 1 or 2 countries would be having financial difficulties, but the WHOLE WORLD? That is hard to believe, isn't it? It seems that the people who have controlled our USA money supplies have done a very bad job for America. The Federal Reserve should be audited and not allowed to run amock. There are other fears about Presidential Orders, enacted by George Bush, yet entirely unconstitutional, and as to date, President Obama has not repealed, so we are all sitting here wondering how far things will get. As a result, we must affirm our states' rights, in order to protect all Montanans, now and in the future! Please support our sovereignty, or I am sure we will rue the day we didn't. I don't want us to be saying, or any Democrat or any Republican from Montana saying later "shoulda woulda coulda".

- This resolution bill needs to be reactivated and provide the opportunity for a fair vote before a larger body of legislators than the committee that did not give it a fair hearing. Montana should be allowed to join the other states in the effort to protect our sovereignty and states rights.

- I sign this petition because I agree with the need to declare our State's Sovereignty, and I sign this petition for that reason only, But I disagree with the disrespectful language of the petition toward the members of the Legislative body. We need to learn to fight our battles over policy and philosophy and core values with out name calling. We must as conservatives fight for the rights of the people without disrespecting the rigths of those we oppose.

- With all that the Federal Government is doing to take every last right away from the American people state sovereignty is a must. We the people have had as much as we will take and it is your job to ensure that ALL rights given to us by both the U.S. Constitution and Montana Constitution are continued.. You took an oath to "protect and defend the Constitution of the U.S." make sure you uphold it, not doing so is treason and treason is punishable by law.
