Last night I attended a presentation by a group called <a href=\"http:\/\/americasremedy.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">America&#8217;s Remedy<\/a>. This is a group of people concerned about the rapid growth of government overreach in recent years. As most of you know, the <a class=\"zem_slink\" title=\"Federal government of the United States\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Federal_government_of_the_United_States\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"wikipedia noopener\">federal government<\/a> is currently involved in many things that have no basis in the <a class=\"zem_slink\" title=\"United States Constitution\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/United_States_Constitution\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"wikipedia noopener\">U.S. Constitution<\/a> for federal government involvement. Our union was designed to be a union of independent states working together for mutual good, but retaining their <a class=\"zem_slink\" title=\"Sovereignty\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Sovereignty\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"wikipedia noopener\">sovereignty<\/a>. Somehow along the way, the states have lost that sovereignty. America&#8217;s Remedy has the goal of educating people about that sovereignty and how to regain it.<\/p>\n<p>The linchpin of the loss of state sovereignty is the <a class=\"zem_slink\" title=\"Reconstruction Acts\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Reconstruction_Acts\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"wikipedia noopener\">Reconstruction Acts<\/a> put into place after the Civil War. Another aspect of the loss of state sovereignty is the <a class=\"zem_slink\" title=\"Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Fourteenth_Amendment_to_the_United_States_Constitution\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"wikipedia noopener\">Fourteenth Amendment<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Section 1 of the Fourteenth Amendment states:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>Section 1.
