More states flexing their States rights.

This week in the Missouri state Capitol, a large rally was held in favor of defending state sovereignty. Rep. Tim Jones and Senator Jane Cunningham spoke about their respective bills filed to protect Missourians right to choose their own healthcare and not be forced into the federal governments plan under threat of fines or imprisonment. This centralization of more and more power in Washington D.C. is fostering a citizens movement to understand and defend personal liberty and the federalist principle of state sovereignty – a governing principle captured eloquently in the 10th amendment to the U.S. Constitution: 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.
