**Video**Texas Governor (HCR) 50 To End U.S. Governmnet Opression!!!

Now this is the kind of action all of the states need to take...Stand against Washington D.C. and draw the line in the sand. Enough is Enough, and Americans are getting fed up! We need more state governors to follow his lead!

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.”

This video is number two on the viral video chart today!
Whatever the reason Governor Perry has taken this stand, it is
striking a chord amoung the people of the nation of The United States
of America.

GOD bless Texas for having the balls to stand up to the bull-crap flowing from Washington. Every state should adopt this legislation, in order to regain sanity and get back the principals that this country was founded on. I live in NJ, where Democratic policies have thrust us into paying the highest taxes in the nation. Where the Government is so over bloated that my combined income and working two jobs can't keep us from just barely surviving. Perhaps I should consider moving to Texas.

I was waiting for Texas to take this stand. Their State Constitution already allows succession if their rights are infringed by the Federal Government. This just reafirms what needs to be rammed down the throats of the morons in the District of Criminals!!! Thirty plus states have taken this idea and ran with it with legislation. Lets hope a few more take this and do something with it!

Before Texas entered the union, they where the Country of Texas. They wrote into their state constitution when joining the union that if at anytime they felt they where not getting the representation of the US federal Gov. they could cease to be a state by proclamation. This particular move to tell the Feds to back off lets them ignore any laws or mandates that DC might pass that they find infringes on the rights of states to govern themselves under the 10th amendment of the federal constitution!

As I read it...this is how it goes down.

The "whereas" is what they are sighting
the "resolved" is what the govenor has passed and made LAW in Texas
Delivering it to the president and the house etc is a required by law notification. They have been sent notice that this "has" been passed as law in Texas.

Perry is an unapologetic NWO shill...

I have opposed him politically all my life - he is and always will be a Snake in the Grass!

You can be GURANTEED that this has been designed to have as little ability to oppose the Fed as possible - pure posturing for posturing's sake.

That being said - i think no one can reasonably deny the message that he delivered.

Unfortunately the EXTREMELY Unconstitutional War on Drugs turned Texas into a full fleged Police State years ago...

Sure there's a few enclaves of "freedom" here and there - parts of Austin, and a few of the outlying small town communities - but even foreign visiters quickly catch on that you are consatntly under the thumb of excessive policing that funds itself on relatively innocuous drug use and distribution.
