Consider states' rights

States' rights should not be a left vs. right issue. You want to legalize pot? States' rights. You want to raise minimum wage? States' rights. You want open/concealed carry? States' rights. You want properly trained school teachers with a concealed weapon to stop an evil person from murdering our kids? States' rights.

Which one of the issues above do you want the federal government telling you you must adopt or cannot adopt those laws? Your government sees itself above the rule of law for which you are held strictly accountable. Your government is out of control. It is not accountable to you. It is destroying the country that 90 percent of us love. This left vs. right polarization is a smokescreen. It is a diversion set forth by the media and orchestrated by politicians who point blaming fingers toward one another and ourselves, as they work together for a common goal.

Read up on Article 5. Understand how Article 17 was the framework for the diversionary smokescreen stage play described above.

Today I have the freedom to speak these words. In 20 years, my sons may not be able to.
