TX DPS Discriminates Against Home Schoolers, Vaccine Choice

 TX DPS Discriminates Against Home Schoolers, Vaccine Choice

By

James Scott Trimm

You wouldn't think this would happen in a conservative State like Texas, we have the best home schooling laws in the Country and we have the right to choose not to vaccinate our children.  But one State agency discriminates openly against both groups.

I have been trying for literally months to get a TX ID for my teenage daughter who has recently become a legal adult.  In order to get her ID we needed to get her lost Social Security card replaced.  That in itself took months, but was finally accomplished.

Today we went to DPS to get her ID.  Her Birth Certificate and Social Security Card were not enough.  The State has a list of other things that can be used to support the other documents. 

 Most of the items on the list are not things a teenage girl still in High School would have (no car registered in her name etc.)  The items on the list that are traditionally used to "support" the other documents for teenagers are "School records" or "immunization records". 

Of course those who exercise their right to vaccine choice in Texas do not have immunization records.  But that leaves "school records" and since home schools in Texas are legally private schools, we should be able to just bring some record of her homeschooling up to DPS and that should be accepted like any other legal school records.... right?  Wrong!  That requirement has a footnote saying "Document must be issued by an institution, entity or government agency from a US State, a US territory, the District of Columbia or a Canadian Province." 

DPS carefully and openly discriminates against Texas home schoolers!

It appears that after all of these months of effort, because we don't vaccinate and we home school, we will have to send off a voters registration for her in the mail (remember she just turned 18) and wait for it come in the mail before she can get an ID that we could have gotten today if we vaccinated or did not homeschool!  If she was not yet 18 she would not be able to get a voters registration to get a legal ID in Texas!

It is also strange that one can get a voters registration without showing ID and then use it as a "supporting document"  to get a Texas ID that then is used to vote.  While we need to have a voter ID law in Texas, that makes no sense.  Moreover we need to make it easier not harder to US citizens to get a Texas ID and not discriminate against those who practice vaccine choice and homeshool in Texas!

If you exercise vaccine choice and homeschool in Texas, good luck getting a Texas ID for your teenagers!

Tarrant GOP Endorses Texas Sovereignty

Tarrant GOP Endorses Texas Sovereignty

By

James Scott Trimm

The Tarrant County Republican Party has taken an official stand on Texas State Sovereignty and the enforcement of the tenth amendment by states.  Yesterday the Tarrant County Republican Party Executive Committee passed a very strong resolution calling upon 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 in regards to the US Constitution, or whether a federal law, policy, action or judicial ruling is unauthorized or undelegated by the U.S. Constitution."  The resolution also calls upon legislators representing parts of Tarrant County to "work together and with organizations and advocates in bringing about the passage of such legislation."

The resolution, which had previously been passed unanimously  by the Tarrant County Republican Party Resolutions Committee, reads as follows:

TEXAS SOVEREIGNTY LEGISLATION RESOLUTION - Be it resolved, that the Tarrant County Republican Party calls upon 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 in regards to the US Constitution, or whether a federal law, policy, action or judicial ruling is unauthorized or undelegated by the U.S. Constitution.

Be it resolved, that the Tarrant County Republican Party calls upon the state legislators representing parts of Tarrant County to work together and with organizations and advocates in bringing about the passage of such legislation.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be sent to every state legislator representing Tarrant County and to Governor Greg Abbott, Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick, Speaker of the House Joe Straus, and Attorney General Ken Paxton.
(Passed by the Executive Committee on Saturday November 12th)

The new resolution is the latest in a series of strongly worded statements coming from the Republican Party in Texas this year.  A similar statement had been made by Tarrant County's Nineth Senatorial District Convention in its 2016 Platform.

Both statements reflect the position of the Texas State Republican Party as stated in its 2016 Platform:

State Sovereignty- Pursuant to Article 1 Section 1 of the Texas Constitution, the federal government has impaired our right of local self-government.  Therefore, federally mandated legislation, which infringes upon the 10th Amendment rights of Texas, should be ignored, opposed, refused, and nullified. Regulation of Commerce in Article I, Section 8 of the Constitution has exceeded the original intent. All attempts by the federal judiciary to rule in areas not expressly enumerated by the Untied States Constitution should be likewise nullified. Any federal enforcement activities that do occur in Texas should be conducted under the authority of the county sheriff.

(Republican Party Platform for Texas 2016)

This official statement coming from the Tarrant County Republican Party is especially significant, as The Republican Party is the majority party in Texas, and Tarrant County is the largest (by population) red county in the State of Texas, and as such has more elected Republican legislators than any other county in Texas.

Texas State Representative Cecil Bell Jr. has just this week stated that he will in fact be filing a Texas Sovereignty Bill in the Texas House for the upcoming legislative session. 

Representative Bell is the founder of the Constitutional Restoration of State Sovereignty PAC.  The organizations website stays that it is "Most frequently recognized by its acronym CROSS PAC, the organization was founded in the summer of 2015 for the express purpose of “calling citizens to act in the common cause of restoring the sovereign power of the separate states and of the people.” CROSS PAC seeks to obtain this goal through a multi-tiered plan initiated at the grassroots level and extending to Washington DC."

A Free Texas Sovereignty Symposium is being held at the Brookside Center at 1244 Brookside Dr, Hurst, TX 76053, Hurst, Texas 76053 on Dec. 8th at 6 PM.  Form more information on this event click here.
