Texas - What America used to be

[villagerjoel]

Good news!

[al_c]

It's about time!

[MeanWestTexan]

Wow. Let’s leave.

[txnativegop]

God bless my native state.

[freekitty]

Yes, and keeping our money in our state is what we want.

[TruthFactor]

I don’t live in Texas, but I’m thankful that this movement is gaining momentum. The oppressive Federal Government, and in particular the leftist democrats can shove it where the sun don’t shine.

In response to increasing federal encroachment, a growing number of states have passed and proposed resolutions to assert the Tenth Amendment and the Bill of Rights of the Constitution.

This map shows a growing number of states that have passed and propose resolutions to assert the Tenth Amendment and the Bill of Rights of the Constitution.

The Tenth Amendment is part of the Bill of Rights and was ratified on December 15, 1791. It states the Constitution’s principle of Federalism by providing that powers not granted to the national government nor prohibited to the states are reserved to the states and to the people. It is based on an earlier provision of the Articles of Confederation: “Each state retains its sovereignty, freedom, and independence, and every power, jurisdiction, and right, which is not by this Confederation expressly delegated to the United States, in Congress assembled.”

On this resource page, you will find links to the various bills and proposed bills by the states, articles covering this important topic, and related videos.

Washington, New Hampshire, Arizona, Montana, Michigan, Missouri, Oklahoma, California, and Georgia have all introduced bills and resolutions declaring sovereignty under the Tenth Amendment. Colorado, Hawaii, Pennsylvania, Arkansas, Idaho, Indiana, Alaska, Kansas, Alabama, Nevada, Maine, and Illinois are considering such measures.

Good thing the ALAMO was in Texas. In San Francisco it might have had different results!!!!!

"Thank you God, that I live in Texas!"

Amen!

[Billg64]

I agree thank-God for Texas; but you all are about to be invaded from the south as a civil war seems to be breaking out across the border.

[Sister_T]

I need to move back to Texas. Got any places without the doggone tarantulas, though?

[NTHockey]

This is like a slow moving snowball - until it reaches critical mass. Then it’s all over.

Things to do after secession:
1. Close the borders. Intruders shot on sight.
2. Raise the army for what comes next.
3. Kick their a$$.
4. Ain’t life wonderful.

[Guenevere]

I have always loved Texas!

[cblue55]

South Carolina has done this too. I’m thinking of moving back there to my home state. Hopefully this resolution will spread to other states who love America.

DALLAS (Dallas Morning News) – A new report from Moody’s Economy.com and Fiserve Lending Solutions predicts when Texas home price declines will bottom out and what the peak-to-bottom price drop will look like.

Most major Texas cities went into the home market downturn later than many throughout the country and will level off ahead of the U.S. average, according to the report’s analysts.

Houston has one of the smallest expected home price declines in the country at 0.2 percent. Analysts expect the city’s home price decline to bottom out in third quarter 2009.

Austin’s peak to bottom home price is expected to fall by 1.3 percent, hitting bottom in fourth quarter 2009.

Dallas–Fort Worth’s price decline will come to 1.1 percent and bottom out in third quarter 2009.

The report predicts San Antonio will experience the largest decrease in the state with a 1.6 percent decline, but it will bottom out in first quarter 2010.

The overall U.S. market could see a price drop of 36.2 percent and bottom out in the fourth quarter of this year.

Thank you God, that I live in Texas!

I'll second that!

[TADSLOS]

A very silver lining around a very dark cloud.

Does this have a chance at passing?
