Here we go again... More lies from good ol' "Colonel" Archie Roberts. For
example:

Lie. State officials neither have the responsibility nor the power to act
on behalf of the peopl to offer instructions to the federal government.
   The convention which framed the Constitution was, indeed, elected by the 
   state legislatures. But the instrument, when it came from their hands, was 
   a mere proposal, without obligation, or pretensions to it. It was reported 
   to the then existing Congress of the United States, with a request that it 
   might 'be submitted to a convention of delegates, chosen in each state, by 
   the people thereof, under the recommendation of its legislature, for their 
   assent and ratification.'...
   From these conventions the Constitution derives its whole authority. The 
   government proceeds directly from the people; is 'ordained and 
established' 
   in the name of the people....

Lie. The resolution was adopted by the Oklahoma House of Representatives,
not the entire state legislature; there is no such document as "Oklahoma
Resolution #1047." (Nor is a resolution number meaningful without a
corresponding year ).

A municipal court judge in Auglaize County, Ohio who never authored a
published opinion or law review article, and has no particular qualifications 
to discuss constituional law.
Follow-ups limited from the "Colonel"'s usual spam.
