Pledges:

The 9/12 Project of South Carolina, Lexington Chapter, has been tracking candidates for various offices up for election this year. We have distributed pledges to these candidates to see where they stand on certain ideals and principles we feel are important. Check out our State Pledges page to download blank copies of these and to see the status of who has signed, not signed, or did not reply.

Sovereignty:

South Carolina Sovereignty Flag

Save South Carolina
from further debt!

Support State Sovereignty NOW!

We must stand up for our
Constitutional Principles!

(This is NOT a bill to secede from the US)

The SC Sovereignty Concurrent Resolution S424
was adopted by the General Assembly on March 9, 2010.

Why Sovereignty? Find more information at the Tenth Amendment Center.

The purpose of the Sovereignty Rally was to demand passage of the Sovereignty Act, which reasserts for South Carolina state sovereignty under the Tenth Amendment of the United States Constitution. The Tenth Amendment provides that the powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution are reserved to the states or the people. It is important to remind ourselves that it is the states that created the federal government, not the other way around. Progressively in the past century, and acutely so in the more recent past, the proper constitutional balance of power between the states and the federal government has been turned on its head!

The operative language of the SC Sovereignty Act, Senate version (S 0424), states:
"The General Assembly of the State of South Carolina claims for the State of South Carolina 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 United States Constitutional [and resolves] that all federal governmental agencies, quasi-governmental agencies, and their agents and employees operating within the State of South Carolina shall operate within the confines of the original intent of the Constitution of the United States and abide by the provisions of the Constitution of South Carolina, the South Carolina statutes, or the common law as guaranteed by the Constitution of the United States. Further, this resolution serves as notice and demand to the federal government, as South Carolina's agent, to cease and desist immediately all mandates that are beyond the scope of the federal government's constitutionally delegated powers." (underlining added)
