A Great Victory Today for the Texas Sovereignty Act!

Today was a good day for the Texas Sovereignty Act.  As you all know, I have written you in the past about the need for Texas to pass a Texas Sovereignty Act to claim our Constitutional right for our state to determine for itself whether or not a Texas law is Constitutional, or whether or not a Federal law, policy, executive action or legal ruling is Constitutional.  If you have not read my blog: How Texas Can Reclaim Our Sovereignty <click here> you should definitely read it. 

I am delighted to report that language supporting the Texas Sovereignty Act has been included in the SD9 Republican platform under the Sub Heading "Reaffirm Texas Sovereignty as Reserved Under the 10th Amendment, United States Constitution" as follows:

"We require the Texas Legislature to ignore, oppose, refuse, and nullify any act of any branch of the federal government which infringes upon the states' or people's Constitutionally protected rights in accordance with the 10th Amendment. And we also require the Texas Legislature to pass binding legislation claiming and enacting the right of our state to judge for itself whether a state law is unconstitutional, or whether a federal law, policy, action or ruling is unauthorized or undelegated by the U.S. Constitution.  Police power is reserved to the states by the U.S. Constitution. Therefore, all federal law enforcement activities conducted in Texas must be conducted under the auspices of the county sheriff with jurisdiction in that county."

 

The platform also states that “Texas Sovereignty / 10^th Amendment” legislation should be a legislative priority in the 85^th Legislative Session.

Now this platform will be sent up to the State Convention for consideration there!  If you are a delegate to the state convention, please help make sure this key language makes it into our state platform!
