Is Utah a Sovereign State?

This is an email I just got about a meeting tomorrow at noon in Orem. If you can possibly attend this meeting, it will quickly catch you up to speed on what is going on. Our best line of defense is with our legislature and sheriffs. We need to understand this and hold these people accountable to us. Please get informed!

 

Tomorrow (Wednesday) at noon is an event/meeting in which you might be interested. Cherilyn Eagar is calling it "Obama's War on Utah's Sovereignty and Marriage Law." I would call it "Utah's Unfortunate Misunderstanding of State Sovereignty."

 

Although I may not be able to attend, perhaps you can.

 

Date and Time:

Wednesday, January 8, 2014, Noon

 

Location:

Golden Corral Restaurant

225 West University Parkway

Orem, Utah

 

Among other things, you will hear:

 

   State Representative LaVar Christensen discuss "The Amendment 3 Court Challenge - How Did This Happen in Utah?"

 

   Talk Show Host Sam Bushman discuss "State Sovereignty, the Constitutional Sheriff and the Balance of Power"

 

   Blogger/activist/former US Senate candidate Cherilyn Eagar discuss "What a Decade of Legalized Same Sex Marriage in Massachusetts Has Done to Marriage, Family, Schools, Business and Religious Liberty"

 

  Utah Eagle Forum President Gayle Ruzicka discuss "Non-discrimination bill, upcoming convention, Thursday evening event, and volunteers for Legislative Session"

 

I am particularly interested in Sam Bushman's comments about the role of constitutional sheriffs and peace officers in protecting our sovereignty.

 

As I wrote to Governor Herbert last week,

 

"Utah is (supposed to be) a sovereign state. And we should act sovereign.

 

"The states ratified the US Constitution, which vests specific, enumerated, limited authority in a central government. NO WAY does the constitution authorize the central government to trump state authority in [state/domestic matters]. NO WAY."

 

The citizens of Utah should NOT be seeking for certain outcomes from federal courts on domestic (state) issues. The sooner we understand the true nature of our republic (that the feds do NOT have the final say in state/domestic matters), the better!
