  STATE OF OKLAHOMA
  2nd Session of the 51st Legislature (2008)
  HOUSE JOINT
  RESOLUTION 1089 By: Key
  AS INTRODUCED
  A Joint Resolution claiming sovereignty under the
  Tenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United
  States over certain powers; serving notice to the
  federal government to cease and desist certain
  mandates; and directing distribution.
  WHEREAS, the Tenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United
  States reads as follows:
  "The powers not delegated to the United States by the
  Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to
  the States respectively, or to the people."; and
  WHEREAS, the Tenth Amendment defines the total scope of federal
  power as being that specifically granted by the Constitution of the
  United States and no more; and
  WHEREAS, the scope of power defined by the Tenth Amendment means
  that the federal government was created by the states specifically
  to be an agent of the states; and
  
  WHEREAS, today, in 2008, the states are demonstrably treated as
  agents of the federal government; and
  WHEREAS, many federal mandates are directly in violation of the
  Tenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States; and
  WHEREAS, the United States Supreme Court has ruled in New York
  v. United States, 112 S. Ct. 2408 (1992), that Congress may not
  simply commandeer the legislative and regulatory processes of the
  states; and
  WHEREAS, a number of proposals from previous administrations and
  some now pending from the present administration and from Congress
  may further violate the Constitution of the United States.
  NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
  AND THE SENATE OF THE 2ND SESSION OF THE 51ST OKLAHOMA LEGISLATURE:
  THAT the State of Oklahoma hereby claims sovereignty under the
  Tenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States over all
  powers not otherwise enumerated and granted to the federal
  government by the Constitution of the United States.
  THAT this serve as Notice and Demand to the federal government,
  as our agent, to cease and desist, effective immediately, mandates
  that are beyond the scope of these constitutionally delegated
  powers.
  THAT a copy of this resolution be distributed to the President
  of the United States, the President of the United States Senate, the
  Speaker of the United States House of Representatives, the Speaker
  of the House and the President of the Senate of each state's
  legislature of the United States of America, and each member of the
  Oklahoma Congressional Delegation.
