The militia folks have been clamoring all about Frankfort lately over HCR 168 filed by John Will Stacy. We’re pretty certain he filed it just to get somebody in West Liberty off his back. Because you know something is up when Frank Simon sends out an email blast praising him and the resolution.
Here’s the text of the resolution:
Declare state sovereignty over powers not given to the the federal government by the U. S. Constitution; demand the federal government to cease mandates beyond constitutionlly delegated powers; prohibit federal legialtion requiring state passage of laws under threat of penalties or sanctions; direct the Clerk to distribute copies of the Resolution.
And here’s Simon’s email:
Will you please click on the voter voice link at the end of this e-mail to send an enthusiastic “Thank You” to KY State Representative John Will Stacy for introducing House Concurrent Resolution 168 that makes Kentucky the 15th state to introduce a bill affirming the Constitutional Rights of the States? And also ask your state senator and state representative to vote for HCR 168.
Over the years, we have seen a continual degradation and undermining of the powers of the states. Attempts to usurp the role of the states in directing education through the ‘no Child Left Behind” legislation is just one example of an unconstitutional and an unfunded mandate being forced upon the states. That is why we need HCR 168.
Open the attachment to learn more about this issue.
Sincerely,
Frank G Simon
Who really believes states shouldn’t have to abide by federal law? Anyone? The far right always ratchets this mess up when abortion or the gays are the hot ticket item of discussion.
Simon, who just loves the gays, non-whites and women is hosting a rally in Frankfort tomorrow at 11:00 A.M. It’s in honor of, well, we’ll just let you read his own words:
The Kentucky Legislature is currently considering legislation on the sanctity of life, public decency, family-friendly school testing, adoption reform, special needs alternatives and marriage.
That’s right. Adoption “reform” and “family-friendly” school testing. It’s always about families. The old man’s fear tactic. Let’s not forget that the rally is also in opposition to scary “interlopers” who seduce our white women, impregnating them against their will! You know, the fathers who want to support their children.

It’s my understanding that this legislation is primarily directed at the RealID, although there may have been a separate bill filed to prohibit Kentucky from participating in the RealID driver’s license program.
Good going, guys. When a RealID driver’s license is required to fly commercially, what will Kentuckians do? Walk or drive? I am as big of a believer in the 10th Amendment as anyone and I’m tired of seeing the feds do an end run around the 10th Amendment, but if we as a state don’t comply with the RealID requirement, we’re going to be facing some serious roadblocks.

Be it hereby resolved that the 10th Amendment means so little anymore that various state legislator poltroons have to resort to such nonsense as HCR 168.
