1. The Tenth Amendment to the Un ited States Constitution
reserves to the states and the people all powers not delegated to
the federal government ;
2. The federal executive branch has expanded far beyond its
constitutional boundaries, with numerous agencies assuming powers
and responsibilities not granted by the United States Constitution;
3. This expansion has infringed on the rights of states and
their citizens, undermining federalism and Oklahoma’s sovereign ty;
4. The United States Constitution guarantees inalienable
rights, including those enumerated in the First, Second, and Fourth
Amendments, as well as protections of individual autonomy in matters
such as medical freedom ;
5. Whistleblowers play a critic al role in exposing illegal,
unethical, or unconstitutional actions and must be protected from
retaliation or prosecution ; and
6. Any actions by federal agents or entities that infringe upon
these rights or exceed the federal government’s enumerated power s
are unconstitutional and an affront to the liberty of Oklahoma
residents.
It is the intent of this act to establish penalties, including
