PASS The Fiscal Sovereignty Act

To: Rep. Chaichi, Sen. Campos, Gov. Kotek

From: A verified voter in Beaverton, OR

February 23

It’s apparent to anyone who’s paying attention that the federal government has been fully captured. In an effort towards Soft Secession, specifically defined in terms of ACCOUNTABILITY, INDEPENDENCE, & OPPOSTIONAL FEDERALISM, where accountability includes States prosecuting federal officials, including ICE Agents who commit state crimes, where independence includes States creating parallel systems like Public Banking, Municipal Broadband, Interstate Compacts that coordinate policy across state lines without federal involvement, and Tax structures that generate revenue streams that the federal government can't touch, all of which reduce our State’s dependence on federal partnership and federal money, and finally, oppositional federalism where States using their sovereign powers not merely refuse cooperation, but actively confront and constrain federal authority by State AG’s prosecuting federal officials under state law, through Legislation that creates legal exposure for federal contractors and collaborators who participate in unlawful conduct, through coordinated litigation that forces the federal administration to defend itself, and by aggressive use of state regulatory authority to make federal priorities difficult and expensive to implement, I’d like to strongly recommend the Fiscal Sovereignty Act (Model Legislation found in link, below) which establishes that the cooperation of this State with federal tax collection is conditioned upon the federal government's respect for the Constitutional processes that legitimize federal authority, passed into Law. https://peppermintpixel.substack.com/p/fiscal-sovereignty-act-model-legislation
