It is time to stand up and take back our freedoms. During the last 40-plus years the states have allowed the federal government more and more power by letting Washington D.C. blackmail their way into getting what they want by threatening to withhold federal funds if we don’t comply. Washington has overstepped its bounds and needs to be reigned in.

What works for one state is not going to work for every state. Each state has their own logistics and problems to contend with. It shouldn’t be a “one-size-fits-all” ruling.
