Rein in runaway government

The Spokesman-Review

What odd times we live in. Bad is good. Measured sickness is called universal health care. Surveillance is called security. Oppression is called freedom. We need to stop believing and listening to what the controlled media prints and broadcasts and see what is going on. I doubt what people say; I believe what they do.

With the feds’ heavy-handed insanity coming to a state and town near you, we need to put the reins on this horse. We don’t serve the federal government, the federal government serves us. Washington state (and the other 49) needs to invoke the 10th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution and keep what is not constitutional out of our state.

Washington state, a sovereign state, has powers not being used because they most likely have conveniently been forgotten about for federal funding projects and more. We need the government out of our lives so that we can live like the free men and women our forefathers set this up to be. I am sure all the framers of the Constitution and Declaration of Independence are rolling in their graves over what is becoming of our great nation. Refuse to live in tyranny.
