Gov. Perry Backs Resolution Affirming Texas’ Sovereignty Under 10th Amendment
AUSTIN – Gov. Rick Perry today joined state Rep. Brandon Creighton and sponsors of House Concurrent Resolution (HCR) 50 in support of states’ rights under the 10th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.
“I believe that our federal government has become oppressive in its size, its intrusion into the lives of our citizens, and its interference with the affairs of our state,†Gov. Perry said. “That is why I am here today to express my unwavering support for efforts all across our country to reaffirm the states’ rights affirmed by the Tenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. I believe that returning to the letter and spirit of the U.S. Constitution and its essential 10th Amendment will free our state from undue regulations, and ultimately strengthen our Union.â€
A number of recent federal proposals are not within the scope of the federal government’s constitutionally designated powers and impede the states’ right to govern themselves. HCR 50 affirms that Texas claims sovereignty under the 10th Amendment over all powers not otherwise granted to the federal government.
It also designates that all compulsory federal legislation that requires states to comply under threat of civil or criminal penalties, or that requires states to pass legislation or lose federal funding, be prohibited or repealed.

Nice to see that even Governor Goodhair has had enough of Federal encroachment on states rights.

There's more in Austin than should be allowed...maybe this will send some of them running for the hills.

And it's about damn time too! I'm just waiting for them to tap into some our budget surplus for these poor, poor states who cannot control their spending.

Oh heck no. We want 'em all to say in The People's Republik of Austin and that little junior college downtown. The Hill Country doesn't need 'em. :-)

I am having major difficulties getting on to the other articles. Rush just spoke about this on his show and that probably spurred the rush to read it all.

I wonder how long it will take JugEars' Homeland security thugs will classify the Texas Governor as a "Right Wing Militia Member?

Merged & pruned......
I can't say that I'm all that impressed with Texas any more. A state I used to love has left me sorely disappointed.
