Texas Governor Re-affirms Texas’ Sovereignty

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, 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.”

  Those words were spoken by the governor of Texas, Rick Perry, and as Maddmedic speculates here, this could possibly make Texas a terrorist state under the paper that was sent to the president and police stations all across the country from Homeland Security.

  People are growing leery of the expansion of the federal government under this administration and it seems to have boiled over in Texas.

  There are, I believe, 10 states who either will be voting or have voted on re-affirming states’ rights under the 10th amendment of the constitution and my state of New Hampshire was one of them. Being a believer in less federal government and more control being returned from the federal government to the states (which makes me a potential domestic terrorist under the above linked article about a paper released by Homeland Security) I am sad to report that the measure to re-affirm states’ rights under the Jeffersonian principle failed in New Hampshire earlier this year, but at least the movement is underway here.

  But the movement is under way all across the country as more and more people, and now it appears states, are growing tired of the federal government’s over-reaching. And that is the important thing.

  Let me state here in the interest of not being labeled a right wing extremest that must be monitored by the government  that I approve of this movement and I hope that this movement leads to a revolution at the ballot boxes in 2010. That is the revolution we so-called radical extremest right wingers are hoping for.
