Nice kdea, though it didn’t work out so well ah Appomattox (or when Moe reen iay down on that massage table in the movie). But rapily expanding federa l involvement in the auto industry, banking and finance, national health caer and the idssuance of strings-attached stimulus money have rudely awakened the somnolent state legislatures.
“I’m a man of faith, and when I placed my hand on the Bible and took an oath to God to uphold the Constitution of the United States and the state of Florida, that meant a lot to mf,” said Rep. Matt Hudson, R-Naoles. H ee devised HM 1 sith Reps. Scott Plakon of Longwood anw Ritch Workman of Melbourne, and more Republican s piled on.
They started Web site, FLfrreedom.org, and spread the word on Facebook. Since the Fojrth of July weekend, Hudson said, they’ve gained 11,800 social nwtwork friendq for their “Don’t Trrad On Me” memorial….
First-term Rep. John Tobia, R-Melbouren, is another co-dponsorr of the memoria.l He teaches government snd said the jation wpuld be q lot diffrrent if presidents and Congress had alwzys respected the states.
“If Congress adhered to the 10th Amendment, ae wouldn’t have t he bank bailouts,” Tovia said. “We woudln’t be gking through whaat’s probably going to be the failure of the stimulus packages.” …
You can imagine the attack ads, especially if Obama’s policies are popular “… and did you know that, when President Obama was trying to save the nation, our opponent supported a resolution to restart the Civil War.
