Thanks for the info Shorebreak. You help make this site VERY interesting. Hopefully taxpayer isn’t right, but his point is pretty good.

If this got by the other house & governor signed, this can’t be brought to the Supreme Court? If so, if you can barely have a gun by 5-4 vote, this would be toast.

Wow, Shorebreak, this is something to chew on. Thanks for the alert.

“Although the headlines have been pretty full lately, there are some things that have been under the surface that I think are worth mentioning…”
.
In light of that opening statement, I’d like to add one more piece of news that hasn’t received coverage. It’s an out-of-state issue, but it could have impact on the actions of the Indiana State Legislature if the story ever goes mainstream. In Oklahoma, the Oklahoma House of Representatives has passed House Joint Resolution 1089 with a 92 to 3 vote. The resolution states the following:
.
“Whereas, the Tenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States reads as follows: ‘The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.’; and Whereas, the Tenth Amendment defines the total scope of federal power as being that specifically granted by the Constitution of the United States and no more; and whereas, the scope of power defined by the Tenth Amendment means that the federal government was created by the states specifically to be an agent of the states; and Whereas, today, in 2008, the states are demonstrably treated as agents of the federal government. … Now, therefore, be it resolved by the House of Representatives and the Senate of the 2nd session of the 51st Oklahoma Legislature: that the State of Oklahoma hereby claims sovereignty under the Tenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States over all powers not otherwise enumerated and granted to the federal government by the Constitution of the United States. That this serve as Notice and Demand to the federal government, as our agent, to cease and desist, effective immediately, mandates that are beyond the scope of these constitutionally delegated powers.”
.
The rest is here:

.
It looks like it’s “Game On” between Oklahoma and the federal government, and our wonderful, unbiased, fair and balanced media hasn’t had the integrity to report it to us. If you need to ask “why not?”, you clearly haven’t been paying attention. And if you don’t think this should be national news, you clearly don’t understand how the 1861 war for independence began (it wasn’t a civil war, contrary to the history books - the fight was for succession to get away from Washington control, not for control of Washington).
.
If this resolution passes successfully in OK, the corporations who benefit from fed control could lose their stranglehold over other states. They’re not gonna let that happen, and they’re gonna do their damnedest to keep the story out of our living rooms. After all, every patriotic American wants legitimate Constitutional government. Once people find out that a real, legislative movement to protect it is under way, there will be no way (short of military intervention) for the federal government to stop it.

Where is the 487 officers detailed anywhere but here? And, why is it an issue? The IMPD detailed the number of officers they thought they needed. Get over it.

They did an excellent job this weekend. I witnessed several situations that could’ve exploded, but the IMPD officers displayed courage and tact. They defused multiple potential incidents that I saw, and who knows how many more?

As for Ms. Campo–she’s perfect evidence the local GOP leadership doesn’t get it. Cute, perhaps articulate. But a loser. Ray was a much better choice.

I’ve heard Ms. Campo speak a couple of times on issues and Mr. Irwin once. Ms. Campo sounds young and earnest, but given Irwin’s superior resume, experience, and ability to talk on the issues, why was the young lady chosen as the Republican candidate? The GOP’s just going thru the motions & they’ll be less pressured to spend $ for a slot they won’t win anyway? Seems like we drift further and further from good candidates.

Just Wondering - Excellent post #5. You hit the nail on the head.

If you remember last year tax protesters filled the circle to voice their concerns about taxes. But let this year with 69 homicides in our city, I see no blogs or post where they are planning any kind of action on crime. Sixty nine and counting and that’s only homicides. How many more crimes happen in this city each day?

I would like to see citizens letting their voices heard about crime in this city. I would like to see citizens fill the circle to let the criminals that we are not going to take this lying down. Would anyone be willing to start what you could call a protest like we did on property taxes? If so I am open to suggestion. You can view my blog (witch has my email address) and I would like to hear you comments about the above subject. http://indianapolsnewgoverment2008.blogspot.com/

If I do not get any feed back then I guess you are not interested in forming some kind of event.
