27 U.S. states say, "We stand together now or we fall separately later." Cooperative Legislation Among Blue & Red States [View all]

Cooperative legislation among states regarding Fed overreach first since 1814. List includes many Red States.

From DailyKos:

“Cora Neumann, a State Senator from my state of Montana, stood up today with legislators from 27 U.S. states to say, “We stand together now or we fall separately later.”  State Legislators came together—the first time since 1814—to take a stand against the federal overreach of the current administration’s lawlessness in their States. “The federal government has crossed a line.” 

This is the message from 27 states, including ruby-red states like Missouri, South Dakota, North Dakota, Kansas and Tennessee.

All 27 States represented are coordinating legislation—85 bills “and counting” --to mandate transparency and accountability for federal operations, protect constitutional rights from warrantless arrests and racial profiling, guarantee States’ access to crime scenes involving federal agents, and establish consequences when federal agencies operate unlawfully.  “We are here to represent our constituents and our constituents say ‘No.’”

The states represented;

California, Colorado, Georgia, Hawaii, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Maine, Michigan, Minnesota (Host), Missouri, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Tennessee, Utah, Washington State, Wisconsin, District of Columbia”

I think this is a good sign.
