Launched on July 29, and based in Hampton Bays, New York, the New York State Sovereignty Meetup Group is organized by Jacques Ditte.

Here’s an introduction from Jacques:

Today across our Union, over 35 States are reasserting their Constitutionally guaranteed Sovereignty under the 10th Amendment.

We need to push Albany to pass similar legislation to defend, reassert and protect the Constitutional rights of the State of New York and it’s citizens.

Onerous mandates and legislative overreach by our Federal government are costing New Yorkers plenty financially and infringing on our Life, Liberty, Pursuit of Happiness and State Sovereignty.

Federal legislation beyond the Constitutional limits of Congress’ authority is a usurpation of state sovereignty and therefore unconstitutional.

New York State needs to step up to the plate. It is either a colony of the District of Columbia or it needs to reasserts it’s just place as one of the 50 sovereign stars on our Union Flag.

I hope you will join us in the fight to defend and reclaim our God given liberties.

So good to see finally some individuals above the Mason Dixon Line finally understand the nature of states rights and its inherent connection to the very soul of this country and our Constitution.
I am sorry it took so long...but since it seems to have begun to sunk in ...I welcome all to the pursuit of this right which remains and ever shall if we assert it state by state!

Keep in mind as your new group considers it's charge that states such as Tennessee, Arizona, and Oklahoma have also figured it out. Challenge the federal government everywhere they have overstepped their authority and as sure as sunrise the feds will actively reassert their mistaken position on each targeted encroachment. They then become their own worst enemy by publicly validating the Constitutional overreach and by providing undisputable documentation that can be circulated as proof to Constitutionally aware citizens. All states should follow the lead of OK, AR, and TN on even the smallest federal infraction. Flood them as they flood us.

And why? – It would be difficult to impossible from a manpower and money perspective to radically transform the governments of 50 individual states. A single federal government would be simpler and would make a much easier target. This concept can only work if the single federal government has absolute rule over the 50 states, thus you have the strong need for the federal government to make them subordinate. Give up state sovereignty and the rest, as they say, is history.

Can the feds afford to do this? – You bet, out of all the TARP and stimulus money the federal government is sitting on an unspent pile worth, as of today’s estimate, $660 Billion. Only about 10% of the stimulus has been spent and a significant part of the TARP money has been repaid but not returned to the taxpayers. It also looks today that our economy is on the rebound and will not need more stimulus or TARP. I believe we will see what is being touted as a “jobless recovery”. Many of the jobs lost were necessary fat trimmings. Employers needed a “crisis” to perform this with reduced risk of wrongful termination suits and they got it. Many other jobs have been lost to companies moving their production offshore and these jobs are permanently lost. And what about the flood of illegals? You decide.

How will the feds spend the money? - How many senators and representatives do we have in total? Take the $660 Billion number and divide it by the number of congressional seats to be filled in the 2010 midterm elections and you can see in very plain and simple terms what is absolutely going to happen. That’s a lot of money and money buys power. What we have in progress now in congress is going to get significantly stronger – take it to the bank. Like I said in the second paragraph above “Give up state sovereignty and the rest, as they say, is history.”
