If any man's money can be taken by a so-called government without his own personal consent, all his other rights are taken with it; for with his money the government can and will hire soldiers to stand over him compel him to submit to its arbitrary will and kill him if he resists. - Lysander Spooner

The US is fifty states, not one; the federal government has stolen the sovereignty of the states, and it must be taken back. The tenth amendment must be enforced, not ignored.

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.

do you then think things like USA shouldn't have it's own military, can't have treaties that effect all states etc, do you think they are 50 separate countries and the union of states means nothing, do you ignore the rest of the constitution and amendments?

If we vote to secede: we won't obey the Constitution, but if we stay: we will.
