| For | Apr-11-2011 | |
| For | This is great as long as the legislature follows up with eliminating all federal programs including refusal of federal funds with the conditions they always come with. Our state needs to push back against federal tyranny and once again recognize our sovereignty. | Apr-10-2011 |
| For | The existence of this bill is proof enough that our Federal Government is out of control. We need to pass this now. Then we must inform every other state what we have done; encouraging them to do likewise! | Apr-09-2011 |

| For | It is my belief that there are those who wish to do away with the authority of each State to govern it's jurisdiction as it, and the people of said jurisdiction, see fit. They would prefer to have all of the power reside with a central government, as this is easier for them to corrupt and control. This is obviously not American, as it moves away from a government "...of the people, by the people..." ~ Abraham Lincoln. This movement towards a more centralized government has been seen in recent federal le | Mar-16-2011 |

| For | A too-powerful federal government greatly concerns me and it certainly worried our Founding Fathers. The best government is LOCALLY oriented. | Mar-10-2011 |
| For | Bill that is long overdue! | Mar-09-2011 |
| For | Unfunded mandates from whatever jurisdiction are a major problem. Grants also become problems when used for operations or projects than must be maintained. | Mar-09-2011 |
| For | The existence of this bill is proof enough that our Federal Government is out of control. We need to pass this now. Then we must inform every other state what we have done; encouraging them to do likewise, and to join us to rapidly impeach the current adminstration. 2012 is too far away to let this term run its course. | Mar-09-2011 |
| For | I suppport this bill and it is a good step in maintaining some state sovereignty over Federal mandates.Nevada needs to draw a line in the sand and stand up for ourselves. Please support this Bill. | Mar-08-2011 |

| For | Given the current Federal Administration's propensity to usurp states rights, it is imperative this resolution pass. | Mar-07-2011 |
| For | No Comment | Mar-07-2011 |
| For | It is critical that Nevada claims sovereignty under the 10th Amendment over all matters not expressly delegated to the federal government in the constitution. This matter is supported and encouraged by me and the adults in my household that will also follow up on this most critical matter. I would be at Grant Sawyer today, but have obligations in Henderson. I feel so strong about this matter that I have attempted to cancel the meetings, but have been unsuccessful. | Mar-07-2011 |
| For | Please support this bill. It should not be necessary but with today's overreaching federal government it is needed. Now it is unelected federal bureaucrats who have the way too much power over each state's people. | Mar-07-2011 |

| For | How can such clear words be so misconstrued and abused? "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." | Mar-07-2011 |
| For | States must keep their sovereignty, the US Constitution tells all. | Mar-07-2011 |

| For | Please release us from Washington DC as much as possible. | Mar-07-2011 |
| For | "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." This is pretty straight forward. Why would Nevada ever allow the Federal Government to steal powers that is has not been given by the Constitution? There are way too many Federal Programs and Regulations that are oversteps of the Federal Government's mandate. Nevada already has its sovereignty, what needs to happen is that our representat | Mar-07-2011 |

| For | States Rights are a fundamental aspect of the United States of America, and why our country is called united states. The role of the federal govt was clearly defdined and limited and I believe that should be preserved. It works. Please vote FOR this SJR6. | Mar-07-2011 |

| For | No Comment | Mar-07-2011 |
| For | As a sovereign state, Nevada's legislature has a responsibility to the citizens to honor the Constitutional roles of government. The 10th Amendment secures the rights of the States against the government, and reclaiming the rights that have been lost over the years is of the utmost importance for the future of Nevada. The Federal Government has for too long usurped the powers of the State and it is now time for the States to stand up for their rights. | Mar-07-2011 |

| For | This is the way it was intended, thanks for following up on the resolution. | Mar-06-2011 |
| For | Please vote YES! Perhaps Alexander Hamilton said it best, in June 1788, “The State governments possess inherent advantages, which will ever give them an influence and ascendancy over the National Government, and will for ever preclude the possibility of federal encroachments. That their liberties, indeed, can be subverted by the federal head, is repugnant to ever rule of political calculation.” | Mar-06-2011 |
| For | I strongly support this resolution. Especially in these economic times, it's critical for Nevada to exercise our 10th Amendment rights. We do not need interference and unfunded mandates and regulation imposed on us from the Federal Government. The Constitution did not grant the Federal Government the power, it belongs to the states, local communities and THE PEOPLE. I urge a YES vote, thank you so much. | Mar-05-2011 |
| For | I encourage you to vote yes to strengthen our States rights! | Mar-05-2011 |

| For | The Federal government continues to erode states powers and overstep their authority. We support SJR 6. | Mar-02-2011 |
| For | This bill needs to be passed for the survival of the State of Nevada and the Republic we live in. | Mar-01-2011 |
| For | It is SAD that this resolution has become necessary; however, it has become critical. That the Federal Government who supposedly has sworn to protect the Constitution has to be REMINDED of their responsibilities is CRIMINAL! Pass this resolution unanimously and send a clear message to the FEDS. They can no longer hold our tax infrastructure dollars hostage if we don't obediently implement their unfunded mandates and social engineering projects. | Feb-28-2011 |
