The legislation reads: “Any official, agent, or employee of the United States
government … that enforces or attempts to enforce an act, order, law, statute,
rule or regulation of the government of the United States in violation of this
act shall be guilty of a felony and upon conviction must be punished by a fine
not exceeding five thousand dollars, or a term of imprisonment not exceeding
five years, or both.”
Ritze says that ObamaCare is clearly unconstitutional and therefore Oklahomans
have a responsibility to claim it “null and void” under the 10th Amendment to
the United States Constitution which reserves powers not delegated to the
federal government to the respective states or to the people.
Ritze says: “I feel very strongly that the 10th Amendment is basically the
watchdog of republic. The federal government was never intended to be as
overreaching as it has been with Obama’s health-care act.”
He went on to say: “The Founding Fathers gave us nullification. James Madison
and Thomas Jefferson spoke about it, in the Kentucky Compact, for example,
asserting we [the states] created the federal government, not the other way
around.”
The actual text of HB 1276 asserted that both the Patient Protection and
Affordable Care Act and the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010
“are not authorized by the Constitution of the United States and violate its
true meaning and intent as given by the Founders and ratifiers, and are hereby
declared to be invalid in the State of Oklahoma, shall not be recognized by this
state, are specifically rejected by this state, and shall be considered null and
void and of no effect in this state.”

I love the courage of the people of Oklahoma. Now we need this same courage to spread all across the US.
ReplyDeleteDirt blowing in the wind, time spent on creek or riverbanks and keeping and tending farm animals as well as hours plowing those fields gives us time to think...for men. For women, cooking from scratch and making sure everyone has clean clothes to wear to SCHOOL or CHURCH as well as teaching by example how to live purposeful lives expanding our God given talents ....... will do that to ya in our Oklahoma!
ReplyDeleteIf several states actually pass such a law, we'll have a strange situation indeed. Better it is to simply elect Romney and let all 57 (Isn't that Obama's count) states relax and return to sensible healthcare laws. Pelosi thought we should have this law regardless of what it said, and she got her way. It's time sensible citizens put a stop to it.
