Wyoming Governor Signs Sovereignty Resolution


Tenth Amendment Center
10. Mar, 2010


This week, Wyoming Governor Dave Freudenthal signed House Joint Resolution 2 (HJ0002), claiming “sovereignty on behalf of the State of Wyoming and for its citizens under the Tenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States over all powers not otherwise enumerated and granted to the federal government or reserved to the people by the Constitution of the United States.”

Freudenthal, a long-time Democrat, was previously a US attorney for the Clinton administration, and is currently serving his 2nd term as Governor of Wyoming. He endorsed Barack Obama for president and is commonly referred to as one of the most popular governors in the country.

In a memorandum sent to the Wyoming legislature in late January, Freudenthal made clear his position that the federal government has gone beyond the limits of the constitution

“For decades we have shared increased frustration dealing with the federal government and its agencies. What started out as a leak in the erosion of state prerogative and independence has today turned into a flood. From wolf and grizzly bear management, to gun control, to endless regulation and unfunded mandates – the federal government has become far too powerful and intrusive.”

Are there any Wyomingites on the forum who wouldn't mind telling us what it's like to live over there? It sounds lovely.

It's got a lot to recommend it. I like it. Mountains. Wilderness. Great for outdoors types. A lot of the people have a good strain of self-reliance, distrust of government,etc. And when the Democrats are in power in Washington, it's an especially great place to live! Then the anti-government sentiments really come out to bloom.
