Another State Declaring Sovereignty

http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=104524

Gov. Sarah Palin has signed a joint resolution declaring Alaska's
sovereignty under the Tenth Amendment to the Constitution – and now 36
other states have introduced similar resolutions as part of a growing
resistance to the federal government.

Just weeks before she plans to step down from her position as Alaska
governor, Palin signed House Joint Resolution 27, sponsored by state
Rep. Mike Kelly on July 10, according to a Tenth Amendment Center
report. The resolution "claims sovereignty for the state 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."

Alaska's House passed HJR 27 by a vote of 37-0, and the Senate passed
it by a vote of 40-0.

According to the report, the joint resolution does not carry with it
the force of law, but supporters say it is a significant move toward
getting their message out to other lawmakers, the media and grassroots
movements.
