Calling all Kansas Patriots and Lovers of our sacred Constitution – need your help right now! Please email your senators to Support and Pass SCR 1615.
You can read the resolution text here. (.pdf) A letter is composed below along with the email addresses of Kansas state senators. Feel free to copy and paste the letter or alter it as your heart tells you is right.
Dear Honorable Kansas State Senators
State House of the Kansas Senate
Topeka, KS 66612
I am writing to ask for your support of Senate Concurrent Resolution No. 1615 sponsored by Senator Mary Pilcher-Cook. This very critical bill supports our Constitution’s 10th amendment.
SCR1615 is a concurrent resolution “claiming sovereignty under the Tenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States over certain powers; serving notice to the federal government to cease and desist certain mandates; providing that certain federal legislation be prohibited or repealed.”
This resolution asserts the State’s – and the Kansas citizens’ – sovereignty from, and supremacy over, the federal government under the 10th amendment to the U.S. Constitution. In short, the resolution states that Kansas will no longer be forced to accept every dictate from the U.S. Government against our will.
The 10th amendment of the Constitution states “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.”
Please also be reminded of the words of Thomas Jefferson:
“I consider the foundation of the Constitution as laid on this ground: That ‘all powers not delegated to the United States, by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States or to the people’. To take a single step beyond the boundaries thus specifically drawn around the powers of Congress, is to take possession of a boundless field of power, no longer susceptible to any definition.”
Sincerely Yours,
Kansas Patriot and Lover of our Constitution

I would suggest, too, that such letters explain the purpose behind the movement and what its advantages are. If the feds usurp their role and take on state responsibilities, then, they tax us for it and spend the money the way they want. The bulk of taxation and spending should be at the local level and not spread across the 50 states. It is much easier to have an effective vote at the state level than it is to have to pit against 48 other U.S. Senators and 500+ U.S. Reps.
Hi Jeff,
I am from Houston originally too (!), now in CA. This letter was composed to be a sample only, that anyone may cut and paste and add
as they wished, including any other pending bills or issues they felt they
wished to communicate to their legislators. I wanted to make it as easy as possible and include the email addresses of the legislators. I am working
to create sample letters for all the states that are introducing 10th amendment bills also. I already have, TN, MI, OR, NV.
Maybe we could do together in a similar fashion for the other states.Or if anybody else wants to help, let’s do it!
In Liberty
