Full Text

TO AFFIRM SOUTH CAROLINA’S SOVEREIGNTY UNDER THE TENTH AMENDMENT TO THE UNITED STATES CONSTITUTION OVER ALL POWERS NOT ENUMERATED AND GRANTED TO THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT BY THE UNITED STATES CONSTITUTION.

Whereas, the Tenth Amendment to the United States Constitution provides that “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 limited scope of federal power as being that specifically granted by the United States Constitution; and

Whereas, the limited scope of authority 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, currently the states are treated as agents of the federal government; and

Whereas, many federal mandates are directly in violation of the Tenth Amendment to the United States Constitution; and

Whereas, the United States Supreme Court has ruled that Congress may not simply commandeer the legislative and regulatory processes of the states. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the Senate, the House of Representatives concurring:

That the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina, by this resolution, claims for the State of South Carolina 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 United States Constitution.

Be it further resolved that all governmental agencies, quasi-governmental agencies, and their agents and employees operating within the geographic boundaries of the State of South Carolina, or all governmental agencies and their agents and employees, whose actions have effect on the inhabitants or lands or waters of the State of South Carolina, shall operate within the confines of the original intent of the Constitution of the United States or be subject to penalty of law as provided for now or in the future, within the Constitution of South Carolina, the South Carolina statutes, or the common law as guaranteed by the Constitution of the United States.

Be it further resolved that this resolution serves as notice and demand to the federal government, as South Carolina’s agent, to cease and desist immediately all mandates that are beyond the scope of the federal government’s constitutionally delegated powers.

Be it further resolved that copies of this resolution be forwarded to the President of the United States, the Speaker of the United States House of Representatives, the President of the United States Senate, and each member of South Carolina’s Congressional Delegation, all at Washington, D.C., and to the Speaker of the House of Representatives and the President of the Senate of the legislatures of the other forty-nine states.

America begins dark chapter for Freedom and Liberty.

Fly the flags on freedom in this dark hour.

America is entering it’s darkest hour in a long time. Conservatives must keep the flame of liberty and freedom alive.

Several Internet forums have been talking about flying the Gadsden flag in front of their homes if Obama wins. This flag is especially appropriate in South Carolina.

The flag was designed by native Charlestonian Christopher Gadsden. He was a Brigadier General in the Continental army, and a Lt. Governor of South Carolina. He used his personnel fortune to pay for fortifications at Sullivan’s Island in the Charleston harbor. He presented the Continental Congress with the flags at the right, which now bears his name.

NAACP pledges to continue boycott against South Carolina.

CofCC.org News Team

The NAACP (National Association of Assailants, Criminals, and Perpetrators) has pledged to continue it’s boycott of South Carolina until the Confederate Battle Flag is removed from the Confederate Soldier statue.

Actually. I have protested the annual NAACP march of the welfare moms in Columbia twice, and listened to their speeches. The speakers have called for the entire Confederate Soldier Statue to be removed, and for any other Confederate-related monuments to be removed. If anyone thinks the NAACP will not find new targets if they get their way, they are sadly mistaken.
