Jobs Bill Forces States to Surrender Sovereignty!

Here's the truth about Obama's "jobs bill".

The Jobs Bill is not about creating jobs, but surrendering States' Sovereignty.

Under Sec.376, States receiving any Federal funding whether Medicaid, Medicare, Tuition, FEMA, etc. will now surrender its Sovereignty under this new Jobs Bill.

Surrendering Sovereign Immunity allows states to be sued by anyone recognized by the Federal Government.

Interesting that Hilda Solis has been advocating the rights of illegals and now this Jobs plan forces states to yield its sovereignty to be sued. It is also likely Labor Unions could invoke this requirement to supersede Right to Work and force unionization of state agencies and businesses.

Is this a Jobs Bill or a bill to expand Federal power via DOJ, DOL, and others members of the Federal Family?

SEC. 376. FEDERAL AND STATE IMMUNITY.

(a) Abrogation of State Immunity- A State shall not be immune under the 11th Amendment to the Constitution from a suit brought in a Federal court of competent jurisdiction for a violation of this Act.

(b) Waiver of State Immunity-

(1) IN GENERAL-

(A) WAIVER- A State's receipt or use of Federal financial assistance for any program or activity of a State shall constitute a waiver of sovereign immunity, under the 11th Amendment to the Constitution or otherwise, to a suit brought by (123) an employee or applicant for employment of that program or activity under this Act for a remedy authorized under Section 375(c) of this Act.

Write your Senator and Representative. Remind them that the U.S. is a republic composed of sovereign and independent republics. It's called "United" States for a reason. Send this bill to the shredder.

Thanks Alan for pointing this out. T Fred does not go far enough. Anyone supporting this bill needs to be castrated or neutered..... which is the same thing that is happening to the citizens of the United States.

I don't know. Tarring, feathering, and horsewhipping can leave some awful scars.....

This is insane. Is this even the same country I was born into in 1967? I don't recognize it.
