"Powers reserved to the States"

Is there a "States' Rights" bill in your capital? It's about time that the states assert their rights and powers. Or, as I overheard it last week, 'to tell the feds to go pound sand.' I think that is more direct and easily understood, but probably doesn't qualify as standard statute jargon. As long as the C4L is excited about this issue, maybe they could have a map on the home page to update these efforts. Different colors whether a states' rights bill has been introduced, and voted up or down in either chamber. I guess making a suggestion on a blog entry is one way to learn if they really read these. Make sure Minnesota is colored brightly! https://www.revisor.leg.state.mn.us/bin/bldbill.php?bill=H0997.0.html&session=ls86

I know there are about 20 states advancing this in some way. Oklahoma has already pased it. I will try o find out the status and names of the other states.
This is a big deal in my opinion ad if succesful could quickly advance one of our goals which is to turn the tide of socialism back toward freedom and liberty and constitutional governance.
Sadly in MN it appears partisan. Good chance it will not get out of committee. The effort is certainly refreshing and will stir things up for those paying attention. It excites me.

Morrie Lanning has co-sponsored such a resolution in the MN House (HF0997).
