Census not forgotten

I'm still angry about the census. The federal government had no right to ask most of the questions that were asked on the census forms, and if anyone were to refuse or, heaven forbid, not tell the truth in their answers, he would be subject to the full body slam of the King Kong Code of Federal Regulations. I, for one, answered all of their questions, even the illegal ones, but noted on each one that was not explicitly authorized by the Constitution that the question was illegal and they had no right to ask that question.

I have no intention of sacrificing myself before the runaway freight train of the general government, but I did write to my State Congresswoman and State Senator. I told them that they had a responsibility to defend the civil rights of the citizens of our State and to defend us from illegal encroachments by the general government. I got a 50% favorable response, which is very encouraging.

Then today I read an article by Michael Rozeff (here) and I had an idea:

What if the following were sent Fed Ex Overnight to the Congress of the United States from every State in the Union?

Were-as, the general government of the States united in the North American Union has violated the terms of the Constitution forming that government by forcing the citizens of the States to answer unauthorized questions in pursuit of the decennial census, and

Where-as the States retain their right to refuse their consent to actions by the general government which violate the agreement by which the general government was formed by the States,

Therefore, the States of the North American Union withhold their permission for the general government to conduct the census of 2020 and all census thereafter, and

The States pledge to conduct a legal census in compliance with the Constitution which formed the North American Union, asking such questions as the several States shall decide to be appropriate for their own purposes, and

The States shall withhold annually from the general government's tax general levies an amount adequate for the purpose of conducting such legal census.


What a delight that would be:
1. The States would be standing up for the Constitutional rights of their citizens
2. The general government would be slapped down by the only ones capable of doing so
3. The States would exercise their right to resist illegal acts by the general government and
4. The precedent would be set that the States could control the general levies (Income Tax) to the extent that they believe the general government has violated the Constitution.

And if you didn't like how a State treated you, you could move to a better State, at your preference.
