Why All the States are the Same:

Aren't the states supposed to be independent of each other?
Ever wonder why all these state agencies across the country seem to be doing the same thing in lock-step?


General Associations - tending to destroy the independence of the States
Bureaucrat Associations - merging the States' Executive branches
Police Associations - combining America's Police forces into a Standing Army
Lawyer Associations - because they haven't got enough power already
Associations related to schools - that I ran across
Some other national associations - they might come in handy

Police Associations

The following National Associations tend to combine the Police Forces of our nation into a standing army.
  • That standing Armies in time of Peace are dangerous to Liberty, and ought not to be kept up, except in Cases of necessity... --New York Proposed Bill of Rights
  • That standing armies in time of peace are dangerous to liberty, and therefore ought to be avoided... --Virginia Proposed Bill of Rights
  • It is against sound policy for a free people to keep up large military establishments and standing armies in time of peace, both from the enormous expense with which they afford ambitious and unprincipled rulers to subvert the government, or trammel upon the rights of the people. --Joseph Story. Commentaries on the Constitution of the United States.
