Oklahoma House Members have voted to override the Governors veto reasserting their sovereignty, telling Obama and the Dems in Congress to get back to their constitutional roll.The Tenth Amendment affirms freedom and independence of each state from the federal government, restoring the balance of power.
The central government is authorized to exercise only those powers granted to it by the Constitution.
The U.S. Constitution provides for strict limits on the powers of the central government and adopted the 10th Amendment to emphasize the fact that the states remained individual and sovereign. Any attempt of the central government to legislate beyond the Constitutional limits is a usurpation of state sovereignty and illegal.

With far more Men than Women, China's sex imbalance has already reached epic proportions but a new study in the British Medical Journal, suggests that the problem is only going to get worse.
The study published on the 10 April and conducted by researchers
Wie Xing Zhu, Li Lu and Therese Hesketh, confirmed that Men outnumbered Women for all age groups. They write, "In 2005,
males under the age of 20 exceeded females by more than 32 million in China and more than 1.1 million excess births of boys occurred."
To those of us who follow China, these numbers are not really surprising. The One Child Policy, has been in place now for three
long decades. Millions of Chinese couples, desperate for a Son to support them in their old age, have put their new born girls to death
at birth. Millions more have resorted to sex-selective abortion, to snuff out the lives of little girls before birth.
