Dear Governor Perry,

On March 30, 2009 the Texas House of Representatives passed HCR 50 affirming that the State of Texas claims sovereignty under the Tenth Amendment.

You have publicly supported this bill, and stated that attorney generals from all over the union could be getting ready to sue the US Government.

We are asking you to take the lead.

We are asking you to order the Texas Attorney General to publicly begin working on a law suit under Article IV, Ninth, and Tenth Amendment of the Constitution.

We are asking you to protect the citizens of Texas that we will not stand for government controlled healthcare in our state.

Under your leadership we can effectively kill the proposal of this administration and allow Texas to be a state free from socialism and collectivism.

Be the voice of reason in the national debate and allow Texans the ability to solve the problems of our state.

Thank you,

(Signature Date)

Facts about the 10th Amendment:

The Tenth Amendment (Amendment X) of the United States Constitution, which is part of the Bill of Rights, was ratified on December 15, 1791. The Tenth Amendment restates 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 or the people.

HCR 50 HAS PASSED THE HOUSE 99-36!

HCR 50 HAS PASSED THE HOUSE 99-36!
Affirming that the State of Texas claims sovereignty under the Tenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States over all powers not otherwise enumerated and granted to the federal government by the U.S. Constitution, serving notice to the federal government to cease and desist certain mandates, and providing that certain federal legislation be prohibited or repealed.

Take Action! Before it is too late!

REMEMBER THIS,TEXANS:

Feds Have Built Only 32 Miles of 700 Mile Double-Border Fence Originally Mandated by Congress

“One reason DHS has been able to do this is an amendment that Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison (R.-Texas) slipped into an omnibus appropriations bill that Congress passed on December 18, 2007. Hutchison’s amendment put a loophole in the fence law that allowed the secretary of Homeland Security not to build the fence Congress had mandated the year before.”

If Scott Brown is elected, there will not be 218 votes in the House for this bill, never mind the Senate.

I heard the Dems don’t want a reconciliation, because the healthcare would only be mandated for five years with reconciliation, and the Dems want it FOREVER.

Anybody know the rules?

This is the result of the Byrd amendment to the Congressional Budget Act of 1974. The Byrd amendment main effect is that reconciliation cannot be used for provisions that would increase the deficit beyond 10 years after the reconciliation measure.

The reconcilliation process has been used several times by both the Dems/Reps over the past few years.

Them passing it with 60 votes might touch off the next Civil War. They do it with the Nuclear Option and all hell is going to break loose.

Where the heck are some of the Red state Gov’s? Like Bob Riley, Haley Barbour, Bobby Jindal . . . we’ve heard from Rick Perry but I haven’t heard much from the others.

I only hear a lot of clucking...

This part really smokes me:

“Why would you hand the keys to the car back to the same guys whose policies drove the economy into the ditch and then walked away from the scene of the accident?” Van Hollen said. “For the Republicans to say vote for us and bring back the guys who got us into this mess in the first place, I don’t think it’s a winner.”

The last time the Republicans had control of the congress, unemployment was at it's lowest and the stock market was at it's highest. Then came the 2006 elections, the dems took over the House and Senate, and the economy went off the deep end.

And they are trying to pin the blame on republican policies?

This is especially amusing, seeing as how Massachusettes is voting on filling the "Ted Kennedy Seat" in the Senate today. Not a good day to be talking about driving the car into a ditch and leaving the scene of the accident...
