~ SSRsi Historical Document Preservation ~
Before the internet was 'open to the public,' there were private, dial-up networks called Bulletin Board Systems, or "BBS's." This was the dawn of the information age. Here we seek to present and preserve some of the documents generated and distributed on those boards.

ANOTHER STATE VOTES FOR RIGHTS
California has joined several other states in asking the federal government to obey the 10th Amendment to the Constitution.
By David Grafft

"The Golden State is truly solid gold when it comes to Supporting the Tenth Amendment to the United States Constitution." California state Sen. Don Rogers (R-17th) said August 23. "My Senate Joint Resolution 44 received a positive vote of 52 this afternoon on the assembly floor with nine `no' votes and 19 not voting.

"This is a significant victory for the rights of individual states and the people under the Tenth Amendment to our federal Constitution." Rogers said to the wildly cheering crowd attending the Jubilation Conference in Bakersfield on August 28.

California joins Colorado, Missouri, Hawaii and Illinois in passing similar measures. Oklahoma has passed the resolution in one house. The resolution has been introduced in Ohio, New Jersey and Pennsylvania. Seven other states -Utah, Oregon, Idaho, Washington, New Mexico, Nevada and Wyoming -plan to introduce the resolution when their legislatures next convene.

"As the most populous state in the Union -with nearly 12 percent of our nation's population -and a leader in many areas of public policy, this successful passage will send a strong message to the big government, big spenders in Washington that we, the people, are fed up with the clear statement of this important amendment being ignored."

The Tenth Amendment to the U.S, Constitution reads:

"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."

The resolution informs the president, vice president and the key leaders in Congress that California is claiming sovereignty under the Tenth Amendment and demands that the federal government immediately end any mandates that are beyond the powers given to it by the federal constitution. Copies of California SJR 44 will be sent to California's two U.S. Senators and all California House members, plus the legislative leaders of the 49 other states.

"I particularly want to thank the senators and Assembly members who voted for this important resolution, and my thanks go to the thousands of concerned California citizens who have been so enthusiastic in their support for SJR 44. The winners here are the citizens of this great state, and we look for many other states to pass similar measures."
