Texas consider telling U.S. gov’t to ‘cease and desist’ ( Cease and desist, effective immediately)

Note to Washington, D.C.: Texas is a sovereign state.

After Gov. Rick Perry’s recent comments about some Texans talking secession from the union made national news, legislators are considering issuing a “cease and desist” order to the federal government.

“This state prefers, to the greatest extent possible, to control our own destiny,” said Rep. Vicki Truitt, R-Keller, one of several members co-sponsoring the measure. “We prefer that federal government limit the amount of federal mandates it forces upon the people of Texas.”

House Concurrent Resolution 50, which claims sovereignty for Texas under the U.S. Constitution’s 10th Amendment, was one of several proposals to go before the House State Affairs Committee late Tuesday.

Rep. Brandon Creighton, R-Conroe, filed the bill, saying that more than a dozen states have proposed similar efforts amid concern that the federal government may be overstepping its boundaries. Read More

I think there will be more States joining in with Texas if they tell Washington to cease and desist. What do you say?

GO TEXAS SET AN EXAMPLE FOR THE REST!

Seeking the facts about congressional approval, Mr. Hoekstra, the ranking member of the House committee, sent a letter Monday asking National Intelligence Director Dennis C. Blair, a retired admiral, to provide an unclassified list of the dates, locations and names of all members of Congress who were briefed on the techniques.

The democrats might be best off not to open this investigation as they could have kill this program instead of approving of it by doing nothing! If Obama goes on with this it will be his down fall!
