ALERT: CA AB 962 has been signed by Governor Schwarzenegger and will go into law per the bill’s mandate July 01, 2010.

We urge you to take a minute and to re-write the Governor and express your discontentment with his decision to sign the Bill and remind him and other legislators and representatives that we will not forget their voting records. Californians have long memories and we will hold them accountable in future elections.

Letter to all California residents from Cabellas – PLEASE READ – AB962 Ammunition Restriction to be signed by Oct. 11 – Please call Gov. Schwarzenegger’s Office.

http://www.cabelas.com/cabelas/en/content/email/092409/092209al.jsp

Another large hole being blown through our Constitution.

Hello folks – we knew this was coming.
Your guns are no good if you can’t find ammo. At least I’m sure that’s what the CA politicians are thinking.

Again the California legislature is spending time on issues they have no business legislating. Earlier this year they spent time questioning whether or not to listen to the will of the voters on Proposition 8. Now they are busy trying to prevent law-abiding gun owners from being able to exercise their constitutional rights. It is absolutely ridiculous that sales for ammunition be curtailed in any way. In the second amendment, every citizen is given the right to bear arms; one would assume that our Founding Fathers would extrapolate that to mean the freedom to hold ammunition as well.

My question is why? Do the clowns in Sacramento really think that AB962 is going to reduce crime. It doesn’t take a Ph.D. to realize that criminals are criminals. They will have no problem getting their ammunition illegally, and in the process California will wind up with another “controlled substance” that the police are unable to effectively supervise due to the politicians up North.

AB962 has been signed by the CA Assembly and is now on the Governor’s desk.
He must veto this by Oct. 11th or it becomes law.

Please take a moment to call the Governor’s office and ask him to veto this Bill before then.
(916) 445-2841

Take a look at what this means to Calif. residents:

”
Among other regulations, AB 962 would:

• Ban all mail-order and Internet sales of handgun ammunition.
• Prohibit the retail sale, the offer for sale or the display of handgun ammunition in a
• manner that allows ammunition to be accessible to a purchaser without assistance of a
• vendor or employee.
• Require that the delivery or transfer of ownership of handgun ammunition occur in a
• face-to-face transaction, with the deliverer or transferor being provided bona fide
• evidence of identity of the purchaser or other transferee.

That evidence of identity, which must be legibly recorded at the time of delivery, includes:

• The right thumbprint of the purchaser or transferee.
• The date of the sale or other transaction.
• The purchaser’s or transferee’s driver’s license or other identification number and the
• state in which it was issued.
• The brand, type and amount of ammunition sold or otherwise transferred.
• The purchaser’s or transferee’s signature.
• The name of the salesperson who processed the sale or other transaction.
• The purchaser’s or transferee’s full residential address and telephone number.
• The purchaser’s or transferee’s date of birth.

“

Please join us in calling the Governor’s Office and committing to put our hard earned money behind our politics.

Buy all the ammo you can muster, this will undoubtedly drive prices through the roof and it is unacceptable.

By the stroke of a pen, another criminal is made. A father can not even pass down ammunition to his son or daughter without violating this unconstitutional law.

In an act that may violate Federal Law, the Obama Administration, this week, has sent a communication via www.whitehouse.gov to millions of U.S. citizens. Their request was to ask them to turn in their friends and neighbors if they receive emails or communications regarding Barrack Obama’s Health Care Plan that seem “fishy”.

Here is a direct quote from Linda Douglass, Communications Director of the White House’s Health Reform Office.

“There is a lot of disinformation about health insurance reform out there, spanning from control of personal finances to end of life care.  These rumors often travel just below the surface via chain emails or through casual conversation.  Since we can’t keep track of all of them here at the White House, we’re asking for your help. If you get an email or see something on the web about health insurance reform that seems fishy, send it to flag@whitehouse.gov.”

We at TheSovereignState.com realize that Nancy Ann DeParle, our newly “appointed” U.S. Health-Care Czar, whose office this communication was sent from is new to her post and may not be completely familiar with all Federal Statutes.  So we’ve decided to  give her a quick refresher on what the U.S. Government can and can not do in regard to collecting information on its citizens.

A little background from the Nixon Administration (1969-1974)

In 1972, The Supreme Court examined the Nixon Administration’s actions and determined that those actions violated American’s Fourth Amendment guarantee of right of privacy and protection against illegal search and seizure.  In addition, it was determined Nixon’s actions violated our Bill of Rights, specifically our First Amendment Right of Free Speech. Nixon sent his cronies to take pictures of and record U.S. citizens while expressing their First Amendment Right to Free Speech during protest rallies.

Shortly thereafter, Congress passed U.S. federal law preventing our Executive Branch from collecting such information on U.S. citizens while exercising their constitutional rights.

“Congress shall pass no law… abridging free speech of U.S. citizens.”

As an open question to the Obama Administration, Linda Douglass, and the new Health-Care Czar… what exactly are you doing with those solicited emails with private contact information on U.S. citizens?

While we anxiously await your response back, Mrs. Douglass, we think we’ve found just the type of “fishy” information you’re asking for.

In an act of selfless patriotism, it seems we have found some “fishy” inconsistencies coming directly from Mr. President Barack Obama himself and we thought you should know.

For example, Barack Obama as Senator, has consistently touted a single payer health care system. And just recently, President Obama was reported by the Wall Street Journal and quoted as saying…

“If I were designing a system from scratch, I would probably go ahead with a single-payer system.”

This seems in stark contrast to his comments against such a system.

So we ask, when was President Obama lying and when was he telling the truth?

“The Declaration of Independence”

IN CONGRESS, July 4, 1776″

“The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America,

When in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to separation.”

Good day;

As we stand on this eve of America’s 4th of July Holiday, this day seems ever more pressing as we look at the broader geopolitical arena presented in the world today.

Just 233 years ago on July 4th, 56 individuals including our country’s Founders signed the Declaration of Independence, setting into motion a series of events that would shape not only the formation of our country, but events that would shape the world in ways no one could have conceived of at their time.

The mere act of signing this Declaration, declaring that the then thirteen American Colonies were now independent states, and thus no longer a territorial part of the British Empire, can be likened to these individuals signing their own death warrants. By definition, their signature alone was an act of Treason against the Empire.

Our Founding Fathers understood the rights granted to them under God as Natural Law. That man possesses certain unalienable rights granted not by the sovereign power of a nation or of an empire, but those rights granted under God himself and that no sovereign power may infringe upon those rights.

The signing of that Document by our brilliant Founders was not a treasonous act, but a noble and brave act and one that was demanded of them by divine inspiration. It was not only their patriotic duty to stand forth against a then oppressive empire, but it was their divine duty under God to protect these unalienable rights of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness for themselves, their families, and their fellow men.

The above paragraph depicts an unquestionable truth in their intent by our Declaration’s 2nd sentence;

“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.”

It was their intention to build a better country under God’s Natural Law so that their families and fellow man may share in the richness of that country and to not be infringed upon in their daily pursuits.

At the close of the Continental Convention of 1787, a lady asked Benjamin Franklin, “Well, Doctor, what have we got – a Republic or a Monarchy?”
Benjamin Franklin’s response; “A Republic if you can keep it.”

Following in their wisdom, and for the sake of us all, I do hope we can keep our Republic intact as intended by our Founding Fathers.

Let the wisdom of our Founder’s words be a guiding light and inspiration to others in the world facing similar struggles as those faced by the American Colonies in the late 18th century;

Happy 4th of July America and stand strong for others that may be under their own oppressive regimes.

This post is an urgent reminder for those not following us on Twitter @reshapeamerica.   Please go to http://www.twitter.com/reshapeamerica/ and follow us for up to the minute actionable alerts.

The House is set to vote on a critical energy Bill tomorrow known as The Waxman-Markey Global Warming Bill.

This Bill alone could be the largest sweeping power grab and “hidden” tax increase on the American people in a generation.

Please take a moment out of your busy day and call your State Representative and urge a no vote on this Bill. The American people simply can’t afford this kind of Bill to be passed in a time when the Nation is already facing unbelievably daunting economic issues.

According to the Heritage Foundation, this Bill will cost the typical American family on average $1500 per year in energy bills. Most notably, Douglas Emendorf, the Director of The Congressional Budget Office, testified before the Senate Committee on Finance that Cap-and-Trade program costs for energy producers would be “passed along to consumers of energy and energy-intensive products.” This translates directly to higher energy bills for the average American at a time when we simply can not afford more “hidden” taxes.

You can call the switchboard of the U.S. House Of Representatives at:

202-225-3121 and 202-224-3121.

Please take the time to call and express your opinion.

This letter was sent into Glenn Beck and the Fox News Agency:

“I’m a home grown American citizen, 53, registered Democrat all my life. Before the last presidential election I registered as a Republican because I no longer felt the Democratic Party represents my views or works to pursue issues important to me. Now I no longer feel the Republican Party represents my views or works to pursue issues important to me. The fact is I no longer feel any political party or representative in Washington represents my views or works to pursue the issues important to me. There must be someone. Please tell me who you are. Please stand up and tell me that you are there and that you’re willing to fight for our Constitution as it was written. Please stand up now. You might ask yourself what my views and issues are that I would horribly feel so disenfranchised by both major political parties. What kind of nut job am I? Will you please tell me?

Well, these are briefly my views and issues for which I seek representation:

One, illegal immigration. I want you to stop coddling illegal immigrants and secure our borders. Close the underground tunnels. Stop the violence and the trafficking in drugs and people. No amnesty, not again. Been there, done that, no resolution. P.S., I’m not a racist. This isn’t to be confused with legal immigration.

Two, the TARP bill, I want it repealed and I want no further funding supplied to it. We told you no, but you did it anyway. I want the remaining unfunded 95% repealed. Freeze, repeal.

Three: Czars, I want the circumvention of our checks and balances stopped immediately. Fire the czars. No more czars. Government officials answer to the process, not to the president. Stop trampling on our Constitution and honor it.

Four, cap and trade. The debate on global warming is not over. There is more to say.

Five, universal healthcare. I will not be rushed into another expensive decision. Don’t you dare try to pass this in the middle of the night and then go on break. Slow down!

Six, growing government control. I want states rights and sovereignty fully restored. I want less government in my life, not more. Shrink it down. Mind your own business. You have enough to take care of with your real obligations. Why don’t you start there.

Seven, ACORN. I do not want ACORN and its affiliates in charge of our 2010 census. I want them investigated. I also do not want mandatory escrow fees contributed to them every time on every real estate deal that closes. Stop the funding to ACORN and its affiliates pending impartial audits and investigations. I do not trust them with taking the census over with our taxpayer money. I don’t trust them with our taxpayer money. Face up to the allegations against them and get it resolved before taxpayers get any more involved with them. If it walks like a duck and talks like a duck, hello. Stop protecting your political buddies. You work for us, the people. Investigate.

Eight, redistribution of wealth. No, no, no. I work for my money. It is mine. I have always worked for people with more money than I have because they gave me jobs. That is the only redistribution of wealth that I will support. I never got a job from a poor person. Why do you want me to hate my employers? Why ?? what do you have against shareholders making a profit?

Nine, charitable contributions. Although I never got a job from a poor person, I have helped many in need. Charity belongs in our local communities, where we know our needs best and can use our local talent and our local resources. Butt out, please. We want to do it ourselves.

Ten, corporate bailouts. Knock it off. Sink or swim like the rest of us. If there are hard times ahead, we’ll be better off just getting into it and letting the strong survive. Quick and painful. Have you ever ripped off a Band?Aid? We will pull together. Great things happen in America under great hardship. Give us the chance to innovate. We cannot disappoint you more than you have disappointed us.

Eleven, transparency and accountability. How about it? No, really, how about it? Let’s have it. Let’s say we give the buzzwords a rest and have some straight honest talk. Please try ?? please stop manipulating and trying to appease me with clever wording. I am not the idiot you obviously take me for. Stop sneaking around and meeting in back rooms making deals with your friends. It will only be a prelude to your criminal investigation. Stop hiding things from me.

Twelve, unprecedented quick spending. Stop it now.

Take a breath. Listen to the people. Let’s just slow down and get some input from some nonpoliticians on the subject. Stop making everything an emergency. Stop speed reading our bills into law. I am not an activist. I am not a community organizer. Nor am I a terrorist, a militant or a violent person. I am a parent and a grandparent. I work. I’m busy. I’m busy. I am busy, and I am tired. I thought we elected competent people to take care of the business of government so that we could work, raise our families, pay our bills, have a little recreation, complain about taxes, endure our hardships, pursue our personal goals, cut our lawn, wash our cars on the weekends and be responsible contributing members of society and teach our children to be the same all while living in the home of the free and land of the brave.

I entrusted you with upholding the Constitution. I believed in the checks and balances to keep from getting far off course. What happened? You are very far off course. Do you really think I find humor in the hiring of a speed reader to unintelligently ramble all through a bill that you signed into law without knowing what it contained? I do not. It is a mockery of the responsibility I have entrusted to you. It is a slap in the face. I am not laughing at your arrogance. Why is it that I feel as if you would not trust me to make a single decision about my own life and how I would live it but you should expect that I should trust you with the debt that you have laid on all of us and our children. We did not want the TARP bill. We said no. We would repeal it if we could. I am sure that we still cannot. There is such urgency and recklessness in all of the recent spending.

From my perspective, it seems that all of you have gone insane. I also know that I am far from alone in these feelings. Do you honestly feel that your current pursuits have merit to patriotic Americans? We want it to stop. We want to put the brakes on everything that is being rushed by us and forced upon us. We want our voice back. You have forced us to put our lives on hold to straighten out the mess that you are making. We will have to give up our vacations, our time spent with our children, any relaxation time we may have had and money we cannot afford to spend on you to bring our concerns to Washington. Our president often knows all the right buzzword is unsustainable. Well, no kidding. How many tens of thousands of dollars did the focus group cost to come up with that word? We don’t want your overpriced words. Stop treating us like we’re morons.

We want all of you to stop focusing on your reelection and do the job we want done, not the job you want done or the job your party wants done. You work for us and at this rate I guarantee you not for long because we are coming. We will be heard and we will be represented. You think we’re so busy with our lives that we will never come for you? We are the formerly silent majority, all of us who quietly work , pay taxes, obey the law, vote, save money, keep our noses to the grindstone and we are now looking up at you. You have awakened us, the patriotic spirit so strong and so powerful that it had been sleeping too long. You have pushed us too far. Our numbers are great. They may surprise you. For every one of us who will be there, there will be hundreds more that could not come. Unlike you, we have their trust. We will represent them honestly, rest assured. They will be at the polls on voting day to usher you out of office. We have cancelled vacations. We will use our last few dollars saved. We will find the representation among us and a grassroots campaign will flourish. We didn’t ask for this fight. But the gloves are coming off. We do not come in violence, but we are angry. You will represent us or you will be replaced with someone who will. There are candidates among us when hewill rise like a Phoenix from the ashes that you have made of our constitution.

Democrat, Republican, independent, libertarian. Understand this. We don’t care. Political parties are meaningless to us. Patriotic Americans are willing to do right by us and our Constitution and that is all that matters to us now. We are going to fire all of you who abuse power and seek more. It is not your power. It is ours and we want it back. We entrusted you with it and you abused it. You are dishonorable. You are dishonest. As Americans we are ashamed of you. You have brought shame to us. If you are not representing the wants and needs of your constituency loudly and consistently, in spite of the objections of your party, you will be fired. Did you hear? We no longer care about your political parties. You need to be loyal to us, not to them. Because we will get you fired and they will not save you. If you do or can represent me, my issues, my views, please stand up. Make your identity known. You need to make some noise about it. Speak up. I need to know who you are. If you do not speak up, you will be herded out with the rest of the sheep and we will replace the whole damn congress if need be one by one. We are coming. Are we coming for you? Who do you represent? What do you represent? Listen. Because we are coming. We the people are coming.”

I honestly believe we could not have expressed this any better. We solute her honesty, effort and her patriotism for this great country.

TheSovereignState.com was formed as a grass roots, non partisan organization.  Our goal is to return this country to what was so bravely created by our Founding Fathers.  Through the generations, our wonderful Republic has been torn between partisan politics and has morphed into a shape that our Founding Fathers would hardly recognize today.

TheSovereignState.com strives to accomplish this noblest of tasks, through honest education of our great history, and by supporting those who share the same courage and veracious tenacity to push on when all has seemed lost for good.  We strive to bring you the latest news affecting State’s rights and the Constitution, and to keep you in the know about what is really going on behind the scenes with your elected Representatives.  We aim to take a stand and be a guiding light through what often appears to be an ever darkening path to creating an honest and accountable Government.

TheSovereignState.com is principally non partisan.  Our member board is fiscally and socially conservative.  Our politics are true to the constitution and are more Libertarian than what would be associated with either of the main-stream parties.   We argue there has always been, and always will be great leaders from all sides, left, right, and center, to direct our country who share the same goals of restoring America to a nation that returns the balance of power back to its citizens.  Our great founders recognized the importance of maintaining a small Federal Government and keeping the governing power close to the people and localized as much as possible so as to maintain efficiency, lessen bureaucracy, and minimize corruption.  Their wisdom in creating our founding documents created this great country and it is only through that same uncompromising wisdom that we will keep this country.

As Managing Director and a founding member of TheSovereignState.com, I thank you with the utmost of sincerity for your time and readership.  We understand the time constraints placed upon you and the short little while you have to keep informed.  If there are any comments or suggestions you have on ways we can serve you better, please let us know.

Vigilantly Yours;
