Gov. Perry Backs Resolution Affirming Texas’ Sovereignty Under 10th Amendment
I’m a little less angry after listening to the Governor of Texas. Almost want to move there!
AUSTIN – 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.”
A number of recent federal proposals are not within the scope of the federal government’s constitutionally designated powers and impede the states’ right to govern themselves. HCR 50 affirms that Texas claims sovereignty under the 10th Amendment over all powers not otherwise granted to the federal government.
It also designates that all compulsory federal legislation that requires states to comply under threat of civil or criminal penalties, or that requires states to pass legislation or lose federal funding, be prohibited or repealed.
HCR 50 is authored by Representatives Brandon Creighton, Leo Berman, Bryan Hughes, Dan Gattis and Ryan Guillen.

Sarah Palin – Joe Biden Debate
Starting this blog fresh….
Just got done watching the VP Debate and felt that Sarah Palin held her own very well! Biden (old fart), in my opinion, is just a typical Washington insider (snake) that spewed out rhetoric and factual inaccurate (lies) statements about John McCain.
This Angry Conservative is a little less angry tonight considering Sarah did so well. I was starting to worry about the McCain campaign’s momentum, but now it is in full swing. When you have people like Joe Lieberman, Rudy Guiliani and others coming out saying Sarah did the best in any VP debate they can remember is telling… We’ll know here in about a month whether the American people agree.
I think they will.
Here is the Drudge poll at the time of this post… Pretty darn good. Palin has lost a little ground, but now the Libs are probably coming out in force to try and sway the poll from a “fair” gauge of American opinion.
