I sincerely hope this spreads. Actual wording varies from your post a little.

It was a summary from another site that I pilfered it from but its close enough.

Re: The States may be our last line of defense

Nice! My wife and I were in NW Montana last summer visiting family and looking for land. If this passes, we may have to move up our purchase plans :applause_

Don't forget Montana's statement/warning prior top the Heller decision. They in no short order announced that if the ruling went against the 2A, that it would nullify their original incorporation into the United States. Bx3

Awesome wording!

Re: The States may be our last line of defense
 

Now only 49 more states need to do the same...


(or 56 more states* in Obama's Amerika :biggrin:)

I dont think Montana will be the last state to attempt such(and hopefully it will pass). I fear though that most of the other states will be the exact opposite. We've already seen once what happens when states try to assert their RIGHTS to cede from the corporation.

I wonder what the land prices are up in Montana......

Re: The States may be our last line of defense
 

I don't think the land would be too bad...

But I wonder how many jobs there are up there...

Re: The States may be our last line of defense
 

That is most certainly the big issues. We were looking at some larger acerage here towards the middle of the state(florida) which we really liked. The problem is there are NO JOBS at all.

We want to become more self sufficient but we figure at least one of us will need to work at lest part time, for the things that will still cost FRNs. Even that is hard to come across now.

Montana has Nuclear Silos, If they were to cede it would make things interesting if they were to take possession of them for their states protection.

Get a copy of Molon Labe and read it.

Plus, it has always been the sovereign state vs the federal leviathan. Make no mistake.

Invade us and EVERYBODY will be glowing green.

For the most part they are empty. So are the ones in North Dakota.

Speaking of North Dakota, It has an actual fiscal surplus and they are having a boom of sorts thanks to the Bakken oil fields and the declining population. The majority of ND's population is older and dying off. The young ones have, or are in the process of leaving the state. ND is actually giving away home lots to try and attract new blood. You just have to get over the winters and the flat land. If you like skiing, you will need a tow rope and someone to drive the truck.

Sounds good to me Twist. I can't wait for Tennessee and Kentucky to get together and succeed from this crappy union. Hillbillies unite.
