No you are tying to strip residents of any rights. You want any rights the states have and give it to the federal government. That is socialism! One BIG state instead of 50.

You are saying, we have no rights to anything in Wyoming. I am sure there are federal programs in Kalifornia that we don't have in Wyoming, then give them to us. What privelege is there then to live in any given state? All states treated the same, all one collective, no hunter left behind!

I guess it is ok for you to fantasize, but it won't happen here.

One thing that almost made it 5 years ago was all federal lands, not national parks, were going to be deaded over to the prospective states in which they lay. To bad it didn't fly. Even slick willy was for it. Stronger states rights!
