Ask your state senator and your state representative to file the Federal Obligations Enforcement Act in your state’s next session and tell you when.
The call to action as published on Oct. 25
Each of the four powers above is won in a state capitol, and the first one is already law in Maryland. The people who decide it for you are your state senator and your state representative, who can file the Federal Obligations Enforcement Act in your state’s next session; the ER’s model bill, built from Maryland’s Chapter 248, is a Google Doc you can open by clicking this sentence.
The plain benefit is that when a court rules the United States government is illegally holding your state’s money, your state holds back what it owes until the money arrives, which is how Maryland protects its $80 million in disaster-prevention grants and how your state protects its own. Your legislators are listed by address at Open States by clicking this sentence.
The message is one sentence, that they file the Federal Obligations Enforcement Act and tell you when, followed by who you are, what you do and why you care, in your own words, because a legislative office reads a hundred identical messages as one message and a letter that sounds like a constituent as a hundred. This article is free to forward to anyone who wants to know why their state should have the same powers as Denmark.
