America’s Sheriffs Fight Barack Obama And Federal Government

February 2, 2012

Something extraordinary and historic took place mere days ago in Las Vegas, Nevada.

For three days, from January 29 and 31, 2012, in the Tuscany Hotel & Casino, more than 120 county sheriffs, from across the United States of America, met in a first annual, "Constitutional Sheriffs Convention".

This is what Wikipedia says about U.S. sheriffs: "In the United States, a sheriff is a county official and is typically the top law enforcement officer of a county. Historically, the sheriff was also commander of the militia in that county. Distinctive to law enforcement in the United States, sheriffs are usually elected. The political election of a person to serve as a police leader is an almost uniquely American tradition."

The first Constitutional Sheriffs Convention is the brainchild of the www.CountySheriffProject.org and the Constitutional Sheriffs and Peace Officers Association at www.CSPOA.org .

For a video describing the CSPOA, go to www.YouTube.com and type in: Special report: County Sheriffs Push Back Against Feds

The convention's objective is two-fold:

1. To increase the understanding and awareness for all sheriffs and peace officers regarding the true power of our constitutional authority and duty to serve and protect the people for whom we work.

2. To unite in a concerted effort to uphold and defend the United States Constitution.

Given the importance of the convention, it is curious to say the least that the media have chosen to totally ignore it. Curious, too, is the fact that I scoured the Internet yesterday but could find scant news on the convention, much less a report - not even on the website of the County Sheriff Project.

But I did find an audio of a 1.5 hr Revolution Radio broadcast on the convention, an hour of which consists of phoned-in interviews with several sheriffs who attended the conference, as well as other attendees, mainly Stewart Rhodes, founder of www.OathKeepers.org To listen to the audio, Go to google and type in: Revolution Radio: Constitutional Sheriffs Conference

Stewart Rhodes said the sheriffs "are working on a series of resolutions" at the convention, among which is a "Resolution of the Sheriff Against NDAA 2012", drafted by Rhodes and constitutional attorney Richard Fry, for the sheriffs to sign.

NDAA is the notorious National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2012 which effectively nullifies the Bill of Rights by making it lawful for the U.S. President and the military to arrest and detain U.S. citizens without charge or trial. From the Oath Keepers' website, it appears the sheriffs at the convention did not sign the Resolution as a collective body. Rhodes is asking the sheriffs to sign the Resolution as individual sheriffs.

Rhodes opined that political party labels don't mean much anymore, referring in particular to how the NDAA is "a bipartisan assault on our civil liberties," which was spearheaded by Republican John McCain and Democrat Carl Levin.

Rhodes emphasized that a second American Revolution has already taken place under our noses and our Constitution's been overthrown. "We have had people who are determined to destroy our Constitutional Republic to create a tyranny." But this revolution is not fully recognized by the American people, who must be informed and educated. He calls for Americans, especially the military and the police, to emulate the "peaceful revolution of 1800″ when Thomas Jefferson and James Madison rose up against the Anti-Sedition Act to sweep federal oath-breakers out of office.

Rhodes was followed by several sheriffs, who spoke one by one. They included: Sheriff Dean Wilson of Del Norte County in Northern California,Sheriff John Cooke of Weld County, Colorado, Sheriff John Lopey from Northern California's Siskiyou County and Sheriff Greg Hagwood ofPlumas County in Northern California. An excellent video of these men explaining there problems with Federal agents and how they defeated them can be seen by going to www.YouTube.com and typing in: Constitutional sheriffs. And for a very good explanation of a Sheriff successfully opposing the Federal Government and protecting the citizens in his county, type in: Sheriff Tony DeMeo.

120 to 140 sheriffs from all across America. Many ("a great showing") from California and the western states, but also from Texas, Florida and the eastern seaboard. Some sheriffs also brought their second-in-charge to the convention. A list of the names of the sheriffs who were at the convention will be published.

There was a Sheriffs Panel in which 8 sheriffs spoke.

There were presentations by various speakers who "spoke powerfully" on Agenda 21 and the Bill of Rights. Even though some of the sheriffs didn't know about some of the issues, "they are listening" and "have a humility about them." "They really want to know and are sticking their necks out by coming here.

What the sheriffs got out of the conference: 1. A renewed knowledge and understanding of the U.S. Constitution and "how it's related to county sheriffs who are sworn to defend and protect the Constitution.

2. "A good idea and understanding of what's been going on" in the sheriff's own county and in other counties.

Sheriff Wilson's county, as an example, is on the border between Northern California and Oregon. 74% of the county is federal and state land. The county's agriculture and timber industry are under "attack" by the federal government's Interior Department and BLM (Bureau of Land Management). Sheriff Cooke described how the federal government wanted to burn some grassland in his county which was adjacent to farmers' and ranchers' property. So he issued a warning to the feds not to burn, which was ignored. But the county stood firm - and the federal government backed down and decided not to burn. Sheriff Cooke also said that the federal government tells the sheriffs how to run their jails, although Washington D.C. has no authority over this.

3. The realization that many of the problems experienced by separate counties are common to all sheriffs across the nation, "all part of a larger picture." Sheriff Cooke calls the conference "awesome": "We sheriffs tend to live on an island, but the conference makes us realize we have common problems." Those common problems are the federal government's over-regulation; "overreach" of its authority on matters such as forest land in Northern California; and "infringement against the Constitutional rights of our citizens." The sheriffs "heard absolute horror stories on what's going on from one coast to the other - especially in Connecticut and Delaware."

4. Not only are these problems common to the counties of all the states, these issues also "affect all the citizens of America." "The problems we're facing are universal."

5. One of those issues that affect all the citizens is the NDAA. The sheriffs at the convention learned how the NDAA "blatantly strips authority from sheriffs into the hands of the military and the President" as well as stripping "the rights from citizens."

6. Learning about the limits of the sheriffs' own authority, even in "little things." Sheriff Cooke gave an example of a Sheriff Akita who said he "did away with DUI checkpoints because they are unconstitutional" and sheriffs "shouldn't tolerate it." Why? Because "it is not right to stop people when they haven't done anything wrong."

What is needed: The sheriffs said an organization "like this" (i.e., the convention) is needed "on a national level" to help county sheriffs across America. "The time has come for a nationally recognized organization" of America's county sheriffs.

In the meantime, there are already plans for Northern California's sheriffs to meet again, scheduled for 2 p.m., Saturday, February 25, 2012. There are also plans for other events in Northern California to discuss land management, land use, water issues, the declining timber industry (U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service recently issued yet another spotted owl protection), and threats against mining, agriculture, and recreational use. California's State Sheriffs Association has formed a policy committee to deal with common problems, especially those in Northern California.

What most impressed the sheriffs:

1. Sheriff Hagwood: It's an "eye opener" that the same issues are being dealt with across the country. That's "disturbing". At the same time, it's "good to know that distinguished sheriffs are taking steps to safeguard our Constitution." They are willing "to stand up, stand tall, to serve the People and stand for the Constitution.

2. They now feel emboldened: Sheriff Wilson: "Just having an organization like this and meeting sheriffs from across America who are like-minded, emboldens you to take steps that are necessary to stand up for the rights promised in the Constitution, because now you know other sheriffs have his back" and will "stand beside me."

3. Sheriff Cooke: "There's strength in numbers, not fighting it alone."

What the sheriffs promise: "The U.S. Constitution was founded by devout Christian men and they got it right. Now it's up to us - sheriffs and peace officers - to keep it." "The problems we're facing are universal. But sheriffs bound together have real strength to push back." "Sheriffs all over are going to fight back."

The number of sheriffs who will attend next year's convention will probably be double the number as this year. Sheriffs are learning "how to fight back with an organization like this." "The only thing I've ever sworn to is my oath of office and my marriage vows. When sheriffs take a leadership role, the people will also be inspired. We realize that our freedoms are being threatened" on "county, state, and national" levels. We must energize and educate citizens and officials." "Sheriffs are beginning to recognize the responsibility they have to citizens is much larger than upholding the law. We now appreciate the gravity of the situation. We recognize our larger responsibility is to protect the liberties [that are] absolutely essential to our way of life. The 2012 election is make or break. We must realize that the enemy is within, not without. We must demand that the federal government behave."

"It won't be easy but we'll do it!"

That's when my vision got blurred by the tears streaming down my face....God bless the county sheriffs who attended this convention. May their numbers multiply. Pray for our sheriffs! Pray for America!

I Believe the Fix Was In by Both Parties for the 2008 Election

I Believe the Fix Was In by Both Parties for the 2008 Election and the Cover Up is Still Going Strong! The Perfect Storm for a Constitutional Crisis!

I Believe the Fix Was In by Both Major Political Parties for the 2008 Election and the Cover Up is Still Going Strong!
The Perfect Storm for a Constitutional Crisis!
by: Charles F. Kerchner, Jr., Commander USNR (Retired)
Lead Plaintiff, Kerchner v Obama & Congress
Posted 24 January 2010 at: http://puzo1.blogspot.com

I believe that the RNC and DNC at the highest levels in 2008 were both complicit in shutting down all discussion of Obama's constitutional eligibility issue in the Congress, in the Main Stream Media, in the Print Press, and in the leading conservative Talk Show radio stations. I believe that the RNC and the DNC were both complicit in subverting Article II, Section I, Clause 5 of our Constitution as to the eligibility requirements for the Office of the President, i.e., the person eligible for that office must be a "natural born Citizen", i.e., one born in the country to parents who are both citizens of the country such that the child born has singular and sole allegiance at birth to the USA and no citizenship at birth with any other country via his parents or due to the place or location of birth.

A natural born Citizen needs no law or resolution of Congress to give or clarify citizenship status. Natural born Citizenship status can only be obtained by the facts of nature at the child's birth. This is natural law. This is what the founders and framers of our Constitution required for the singular and most powerful office of the President and Commander in Chief of the military. John Jay and George Washington put that requirement into the Constitution for exactly the reason that the person serving in that office would have no foreign influences on him/her by birth due to the facts and circumstances of his/her citizenship at birth. They wanted for all future presidents after the founding generation was gone to have sole allegiance at birth to the United States and no allegiances to any other country. Only "natural born Citizenship" in the USA per natural law guarantees no other allegiance or citizenship claims by an another country at birth of the person. If you are born on the U.S. soil of parents who are both U.S. citizens, no other country can claim you under the law of nations as a Citizen of their country and you are only governed by the laws of the USA at your birth. This is natural law as was codified by Vattel in 1758 in his legal treatise, "The Law of Nations or Principles of Natural Law". The 1775 edition of this legal book was used as a reference by Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, and other founders and framers to set up our new nation in 1776 in the writing of the Declaration of Independence and also in drafting the new form of federal government in 1787 with the writing of our Constitution, the fundamental law of our nation.

Obama was born British. How can a person born a British Subject ever be considered to be a "natural born Citizen" of the USA, to constitutional standards? He cannot! Our founders must be rolling over in their graves witnessing what transpired in the 2008 election cycle.

Both major political parties put up questionable presidential candidates in 2008 with issues as to their birth citizenship status. A 3rd party, the Socialist Party, even put a person named Calero on the ballot for President in 2008 in half dozen states and Calero only had a "green card" and was not even a Citizen, let alone a "natural born Citizen". And the corrupt political system and media let Calero do it and didn't challenge him in order to keep the lid on the cover-up of the constitutional eligibility issues of the respective presidential candidates of the two major parties. The fix and cover-up was in! Obama was born as a British Subjectof a non-U.S. citizen father. McCain was born on the sovereign soil of Panama, not on the military base in the Canal Zone as was touted to the public. Both major political parties having issues with their presidential candidates simply proceeded to cover up for each other and helped shut down the major media and talk radio totally using their respective high level contacts in the main stream media industry. They did this with the help of elected officials within the sitting Bush administration and in party leaders in Congress as well as within their own respective presidential campaign organizations. No one in either political party wanted a full, free, and open debate in the major media as to the true historical, constitutional, and Supreme Court common law cases mentioning Vattel and his words on the meaning of "natural born Citizen". No one in either political party wanted a full Congressional hearing about the true meaning of Article II, Section 1, Clause 5 of the U.S. Constitution concerning who is constitutionally eligible to be President and Commander in Chief of the military, especially in the case of Obama whose father was not even an immigrant to this country, let alone not being a citizen of the USA. We are a nation of immigrants. But Obama's father was never one. The political parties and powers in DC wanted to hide this issue from the American people for the political ambition and power of both political parties to run the candidate of their choice irrespective of Constitutional issues. They did not want to hear from the People about this. So the cover up began to squelch all discussion of it to keep as many people in the dark as possible. "Thou shalt not talk about the presidential constitutional Article II eligibility issues" was the word put out by all the powers to be in Washington DC and the U.S. media. Letters to Members of Congress asking for Congressional hearings on Obama's eligibility issues were either not answered or answered with almost form letter type similar obfuscations of the issue put out by members from both parties. Their favorite modus operandi for the cover up was was either ignore the questioners or ridicule them if not able to ignore them. These are two favorite tactics taught in the Saul Alinsky book, Rules for Radicals. And further, it was reported that even outright threats were madeto certain conservative talk show radio hosts in the last quarter of 2008 to never broach the subject of constitutional eligibility issues on their shows or to allow on the air people who wish to talk about that issue.

In our two party system the political forces of nature of the RNC and DNC are normally natural enemies of each other and served as a check and balance in our election system. But in 2008, because of the citizenship "issues" of their respective Presidential candidates, both parties were instead complicit in ignoring, undermining, and usurping the Article II, Section 1, Clause 5 eligibility standards for the Office of President of our U.S. Constitution and thus have created "The Perfect Storm for a Constitutional Crisis" of historic proportions. There is now an epic struggle underway pitting the two major political parties and their party controlled elected and appointed officials with their powerful inside the belt way Washington DC opinion shaping forces in the Main Stream Media all combined and aligned against "We the People" and the survival our Constitution, the sovereign and fundamental law of our Republic. George Washington warned us 200+ years ago that a day may come when the political parties put party power and their political goals ahead of the Constitution which is designed to limit the power of the federal government and usurp powers not granted by the Constitution. That day has come. We the People must now stand to defend our Constitution or it will no longer be the fundamental law of our Republic. If simple majority rule can trump the Constitution then there is no more protection left for the political minority and the rule of law. Our government will deteriorate into mob rule. Our nation and the unalienable rights guaranteed in our Constitution will be in great jeopardy and at the whims of the Washington DC power brokers.

And the cover up continues to this day. It is most obvious with the stone silence and "cone of silence" and/or mocking and chuckling comments made by the TV and radio talk show hosts about the eligibility issue questions if even mentioned briefly by a guest now and then on Fox News. The overall approach on Fox News is to ban the topic. Other networks such as MSNBC simply totally mock the movement continually using Saul Alinsky's tactics from Rules for Radicals rule number 5, ridicule, to stifle all open, serious, and public debate on the issue and to scare off any one in political power from broaching the subject. Anyone even just mentioning this issue is pounced on for the ridicule treatment by the press. This total shut down of a free and full "on air" debate of the Obama eligibility issue with serious scholars and legal experts representing each side (such as my attorney, Mario Apuzzo) being allowed on the air together with someone from the Obot side to debate this issue openly is being orchestrated still to this day at the highest levels of the RNC and DNC and their elected official type contacts in various powerful positions. It continues today just as strongly as it was back in Dec 2008 and early Jan 2009. Both major parties are 100% in the CYA mode. Whispers in the hallways back then and continuing today allude to grave consequences if one breaches this subject seriously on the air ways. The RNC silenced opposition in the conservative talk show radio and elsewhere in late 2008 which has enabled Obama to take power virtually unopposed as to addressing his constitutional eligibility in any serious manner in public debate via the national media. The leadership of the RNC at the highest levels, imo, shut down members of their own political party in Congress and via using their powerful contacts in the highest levels of government, they helped shut down conservative talk radio and TV hosts with innuendos and and whispers of the consequences if this subject surfaced for discussion in a major way on their shows. They were told to keep the eligibility issue and the so called "Birthers" banned on their callers list with special instructions to the call screeners to keep them off the air. The RNC powers to be and their political connections used their power to do this in order to cover up their own subverting of Article II of the Constitution via putting up a candidate of their own with questionable natural born Citizenship status as their candidate for President. The big liberal media anointed Obama (a hard core progressive and Socialist) and then anointed McCain (a progressive light) ... because they knew McCain had a citizenship issue of his own and thus would keep him silent about Obama's. And it worked. A "cone of silence" was dropped on the constitutional eligibility issue in the DC media and Congress and elsewhere in America to cover up for what both parties were doing, subverting Article II of the U.S. Constitution in the 2008 election. Listen to this radio show interview for more details.

Atty Apuzzo & CDR Kerchner on Andrea Shea King Radio Show hosted by Andrea Shea King - Friday, 22 Jan 2010, 9 p.m. EST: http://www.blogtalkradio.com/askshow/2010/01/23/the-andrea-shea-king-show

In my opinion, when this subversion of our Constitution in the 2008 presidential election cycle and the massive cover up by powerful people in the highest levels of the RNC and DNC and their elected official contacts in our government is exposed, this will be a far worse scandal than Watergate. It will be the worst scandal and political crisis and constitutional crisis in America since the Civil War. Are there any courageous investigative journalists left in the main stream media who will expose this cover up? Who will win the Pulitzer Prize for exposing this travesty to the Constitution, liberty, and justice in America.

I believe this is what has happened in America and the reason for the cone of silence about Obama's citizenship issues since the start of the 2008 presidential election cycle, and it continues to this day. It is a national disgrace and a threat to our freedom and liberty and the survival of our Constitution and Republic. We do not know Obama's true legal identity! He has hidden and sealed all his early life records. What is he hiding!? How can we trust this man usurping the Oval Office to protect America from foreign influence at the highest levels. He bows to Saudi Kings! He backs far-left dictators in Central America like Castro and Hugo Chavez in stifling freedom and Constitutional government in countries like Honduras. Maybe he saw what could happen to him in the Constitutional crisis in Honduras. Who is Obama loyal to? We do not know who he really is. The three enablers of this cover up must cease turning a blind eye to this usurpation. The eligibility issue must be fully and openly discussed and debated in the Main Stream Media, the Congress, and in our Courts. Our liberty and freedom is in the balance.

God bless and protect America in the coming test this year of our fundamental core constitutional rights and our very freedom as this cover up is further exposed.

Obama's the man leading the Occupy the Oval Office movement.

Imagine the head of the "Occupy The Oval Office" movement defecating on the flag, the constitution, the people, and the economy all at the same time.

His Abominations Accelerate

By Quin Hillyer on 2.3.12

Obama's the man leading the Occupy the Oval Office movement.

The Republican presidential campaign thus far has been so bizarre and, frankly, depressing, that some of us have failed to adequately cover worrisome developments on a number of other important fronts. By ineptness and, worse, by deliberate design, Barack Obama daily makes this nation weaker abroad, less free (and more authoritarian) at home, economically more feeble, and in the civic realm more bitterly divided than ever. Meanwhile, ominous developments crowd the world stage. In short, we're in a big heap of trouble.

The recent litany of Obama's odiousness begins with his growing, unambiguous war against traditional Christianity. He has now left no room for any pretense otherwise to be believed. Right on the heels of a unanimous Supreme Court, including his own two appointees, smacking down his administration's attempt to kill the "ministerial exemption" for employment practices of faith-based institutions, an unchastened Obama has decided that even faith-based organizations must provide insurance that covers contraception -- even including abortifacients.

This is not just a narrow policy disagreement; it is, as Bishop David A. Zubik of Pittsburgh wrote, the president's way of saying "To Hell With You" to people of faith -- "To hell with your religious beliefs. To hell with your religious liberty. To hell with your freedom of conscience." Zubik continued: "This is government by fiat that attacks the rights of everyone -- not only Catholics; not only people of all religion. At no other time in memory or history has there been such a governmental intrusion on freedom not only with regard to religion, but even across-the-board with all citizens."

Obama's broadsides, plural, against religious liberty are only a part of his radical transgressions against the U.S. Constitution. Conservatives are rightly up in arms about Obama's illegal recess appointments. Obamacare, of course, contains several anti-Constitutional abominations, including the "individual mandate" and the Independent Payment Advisory Board. Meanwhile, his administration is flagrantly violating precedent by trying to force explicit hiring quotas on the Fire Department of New York, in a case in which a key amicus brief was filed on January 24 at the U.S. Second Circuit Court of Appeals.

And so on.

Abroad, this man leading the Occupy the Oval Office movement is even worse. He threw away a clear victory in Iraq and may be doing the same in Afghanistan. His fecklessness regarding Iran, perfectly in line with his long record of favoring Shia interests, is now leading to a crisis of the first order. His strange mishandling of the Egyptian revolution has left the United States with very little leverage in a country that for more than three decades was a major American ally, and has left Coptic Christians scared to death. He long ago insulted allies such as Israel and Great Britain, repeatedly and with malice aforethought. He seems to have no real relationship of any positive nature with any allied foreign leader, perhaps with the exception of those in Brazil, whose oil exploration he subsidizes while blocking tens of thousands of jobs that would come from domestic energy production he has snuffed out. And he seems hell-bent on a mission to starve the American armed forces to dangerous thinness.

Killing the private college-loan industry. Hobbling private for-profit colleges. Illegally seizing auto companies. Whoring for Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae. Turning public policy over to thuggish union bosses and destroying jobs in South Carolina to do so. Turning the Justice Department into a thoroughly corrupt, lawless, racialist, hyper-politicized, gun-running, vote-fraud-enabling, bullying arm of the left wing of the Democratic Party. Regulating the life out of almost every aspect of the economy. Buying political support by funneling taxpayer money to failing private alternative-energy companies. Lying with the Supreme Court sitting in front of him about what they decided in the Citizens United case. Lying about so many things that one loses count. Roiling racial tensions every chance he gets.

This is a man who has no interest in serving the United States that most of us know and love. Instead, he's a man who, by hook and definitely by crook, serves the despicable vision of the utterly foreign America he wants to impose on us.

Four more years of this guy in power, and we are doomed. He is a menace, and, by every legal means possible, he must be stopped -- and his maladministration reversed and thoroughly buried.

More States Move to GOP in 2011- Seventeen states solidly or leaning Republican, up from 10 in 2010

WOW! Better than20101

More States Move to GOP in 2011

Seventeen states solidly or leaning Republican, up from 10 in 2010

by Jeffrey M. Jones

PRINCETON, NJ -- Democrats have lost their solid political party affiliation advantage in 18 states since 2008, while Republicans have gained a solid advantage in 6 states. A total of 17 states were either solidly Republican or leaning Republican in their residents' party affiliation in 2011, up from 10 in 2010 and 5 in 2008. Meanwhile, 19 states including the District of Columbia showed a solid or leaning Democratic orientation, down from 23 in 2010 and 36 in 2008. The remaining 15 states were relatively balanced politically, with neither party having a clear advantage.

JET ENERGY Successfully Scores its SECOND COLD FUSION/LANR OPEN DEMONSTRATION AT MIT During the First IAP Short Course on Cold Fusion

JET ENERGY Successfully Scores its SECOND COLD FUSION/LANR  OPEN DEMONSTRATION AT MIT During the First IAP Short Course on Cold Fusion
January 30-31, 2012 - Cambridge, MA. - As part of the IAP Course on COLD FUSION at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dr. Mitchell Swartz, JET Energy, and Prof. Peter Hagelstein demonstrated cold fusion openly for scientists and engineers.   The demonstration was a two day part of the detailed, yet overview, seven day course run by Prof. Hagelstein and Dr. Swartz, and followed the first open demonstrations of cold fusion at MIT in 2003.  This JET Energy NANOR(TM) demonstrated a significant energy gain greater than 10, much larger than the previous open demonstration.  This exhibition is also remarkable because it confirmed the role of the nanoengineered lattice in enabling the CF/LANR Cold Fusion lattice Assisted Nuclear Reactions activity.  It followed Prof. Hagelstein sharing his breakthrough explanatory theory of cold fusion during the first 5 days.  The NANOR technology of JET Energy may have already begun to shatter a few preconceived notions of skeptics and cold fusioneers.

Gallup state numbers predict huge Obama loss - Click Map for Full Screen

Gallup released their annual state-by-state presidential approval numbers yesterday, and the results should have 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue very worried. If President Obama carries only those states where he had a net positive approval rating in 2011 (e.g. Michigan where he is up 48 percent to 44 percent), Obama would lose the 2012 election to the Republican nominee 323 electoral votes to 215.

Gallup adds:

Overall, Obama averaged 44% job approval in his third year in office, down from 47% in his second year. His approval rating declined from 2010 to 2011 in most states, with Wyoming, Connecticut, and Maine showing a marginal increase, and Massachusetts, Wisconsin, Minnesota, New Jersey, Arizona, West Virginia, Michigan, and Georgia showing declines of less than a full percentage point. The greatest declines were in Hawaii, South Dakota, Nebraska, and New Mexico.
