States finally fed up?

A column today in WorldNetDaily talks about how there are now 35 states considering imposing the tenth amendment that the federal government has overstepped its authority.

Outside of an actual secession, this may be the best thing to happen to America in nearly 100 years. Since the Woodrow Wilson administration there has been a gradual creep by the federal government to usurp powers from the states and give them to the central government in violation of the Constitution.

If 35 states have legislators who can see the error of the federal government in taking from the states those rights that were granted to the states and the people respectively, maybe there is hope for this country.

It is not all Republican legislators in these states that support the action. There are a number of Democrats who also feel that it is time to reign in the federal government.

If thirty five out of fifty insist that the central government return to its constitutional duties, then maybe, just maybe, the tide is turning and we the people actually do still have a voice in how this nation is to operate.
