Here’s how; The Governors of the United States will re-affirm their allegiance to the United States Constitution.
Every Governor needs to submit a constitutional amendment to their respective state constitutions to limit the funds taken from their citizens and businesses by the federal government through direct income taxes.
The 50 Amendments will read similar to this:
“In the interest of reaffirming Colorado’s rights as outlined in the Tenth Amendment to the United States Constitution of which Colorado is a member in good standing, and the recognition that all responsibilities beyond the eighteen enumerated powers of the federal government as defined in the constitution are the state’s and individual citizen responsibilities, we amend our Colorado constitution to state the following; we as citizens of Colorado and the United States in our duty and responsibility to comply with the law of the land make the following a law of the great state of Colorado; that the federal government through its power as stated in the Sixteenth Amendment of the United States Constitution, we in Colorado set the maximum rate on Colorado income taxation to 18% of total income from all sources derived, with the Colorado state legislature to determine the graduated rates up to the maximum of 18% of federal taxation, as our full payment for the eighteen enumerated powers and any debts incurred in the management of the federal constitutional powers. Colorado reserves the right to amend the Colorado constitution at any time through the process outlined within the same constitution.”
The only way to stop an out of control federal government is to shackle it with the law of our land; The United States Constitution…
Let’s make it happen…
This is your chance to get involved. I hope you do!
one way or another we need to revolt I am so sick of the liars all of them any way to get rid of them all
Very interesting post. My gut likes this and I’m interested to see what a trusted constitutional expert would say. Really fascinating. One question. Would other way of course who be through Article V but most see this as a bit risky. We could win in 2010 and have Congress pass a resolution to send such an amendment to the states and just amend the whole issue of personal income tax. These methods obviosly require much less than 50 states but they have there weaknesses. Mostly the risks associated with a convention in the first method and the need for congressional action in the second.
Your method requires niether and, if constitutionally water proof, really doesn’t require fifty states to put a major fiscal crimp in the Federal image
This is amazing! Even one year ago, I would never have believed we could get all 50 states to come together on anything! This is really happening! With the Lord's help, we are going to take back our Constitution, our country and our lives! I would point out to the Washington elites the phrase "high crimes and misdemeanors." We can and must follow through. Now that we have begun this venture, we must see it through to its rightful conclusion or have the full weight of our failure fall and bury us and generations to come!
