Governor Perry, The Eye Liner of Texas is Upon You!

GOVERNOR PERRY’S TRIP this week to China to participate in the Shanghai World Expo is another clear indicator that business continues as usual. While hard working Texans are lamenting, as did Thomas Paine in 1776, “These are the times that try men’s souls,” we’ve apparently not yet gained the serious attention of our state leaders. If we’re to build the world anew, as our founders did and as TEA Party and 9-12 activists have been so adamantly demanding, we’re going to have to do things differently. State leaders must focus on Texas. Can I have your attention, PLEASE? The economy continues to lag, the border remains a hot-bed of unrest, the EPA is inserting herself more and more into the Texas energy sector. Now is not the time to travel the globe.

We must focus on Texas. We should be asking ourselves why Mary Kay and Texas Instruments find it necessary to manufacture their products in China. What regulations are driving them from their homeland? If Texas has such a great business climate, why do these fine companies find it necessary to establish manufacturing plants overseas? What can we do here in Texas to bring them home?

Texas can no longer delay declaring the sovereignty of our state! We have a great opportunity today because as Paine pointed out, panic has a way of sifting out the hidden thoughts of man and holding them up in public to the world. The wrongness of public policy is being scrutinized in ways too long ignored. We have the greatest opportunity now to restrain Washington D.C. and must get to work. Texas must demand that federal intervention be limited to Art. I Section 8 actions only and that all other power rest with the state and the people.

It won’t be the first time and there could be no better time for Texas to act with boldness and courage. We must lead our state and our nation in restoring the freedom and prosperity afforded under this constitutional republic and available only when the government functions in a limited role. Texans, let’s let Governor Perry know: it’s time to come home and govern Texas.

    What,if anything, are our Texas leaders doing regarding the federal takeover? This past year after working in Afghanistan and Iraq for 4-1/2 years, I have started waking up and looking around. I have gained a new awareness and realization of how serious this situation has become. I have checked out many sites, some good while others are full of personal attacks and hate. What can I do to help truly bring about change?

    As long as I have been alive-(47 years) OUR government on the LOCAL levels (as well as the) FEDERAL levels- have slowly been taking over (ALL the RIGHTS) of the American Citizens by (changing many Laws) which NOW ((Protect the government & NOT our own people)) Even the labor Unions (that started out as good) have become too powerful & corrupt and is now helping to turn this country into a (Socialist Nightmare) called a Democracy. We ARE NOT a democracy! We ARE a Republic! We have to Make a STAND- for our Rights or Watch them (be taken) from us-even more than has already happened!

    VOTE these (life time) BUMS OUT—(White & Perry) are “MEN that would Bargain with our foreign competitors” and (NOT in OUR favor!)– They would make bargains- that would allow foreign countries to sell their goods to us (made by slave labor) and then not buy our goods- in return!!! This has been happening for over 2 decades now!!! ALL of OUR manufacturing (has gone overseas) due to us (We the People) buying all of their cheap foreign goods… We have to STOP buying their foreign goods!!! In order to STOP this unbalanced trading system…

    As a native Texan, back from working for 30 years in parts of the US and Alaska, I am suprised how much pandering our current governor does to the Obama regrime. This is Texas, a Republic. Let’s opt out and declare our sovereignty! Texans can provide affordable healthcare, protect our own borders, and balance our own budget once we stop sending tribute to the Obama regrime. I want a governor that has the courage and boldness to tell Obama.. NO.. NoBama!
    I wanted Debra Medina, but since that didnt happen; the ONLY other candidate that comes close is Kathie Glass http://www.kathie4guv.com

    As another native Texan, but also a student of world and American history, I disagree about Texas secession; that would be tactical folly.

    Even multi-state secession failed when tried; single-state secession would be even more of a failure. But the issue is more than merely tactical; it’s a matter of principle.

    We The People are sovereign over our federal government, and the Constitution WE placed upon that government as a Supreme Law of LIMITATION is still the highest law in the land. It is the now-diaphanous thread that holds America over the abyss into which every other nation has fallen. It must be defended, BY BEING ENFORCED.

    Cutting and running will hardly do that; this is why I believe Madison supported interposition while Jefferson rooted for nullification. There is a vast gulf between the two, despite Tom Woods’ excellent treatise on the subject.

    Nullification is the child pouting to a parent, and running away. We are not the child, however; We The People are the PARENT and it’s time we acted the part.

    Interposition is the parnet putting his foot down BEFORE the criminally recalcitrant child can do more harm. Interposition, if you will, is what peace officers are supposed to do: enforce the laws.

    AmericaAgain! is the first and only mission of its kind in American history. It is a tactical, three-pronged national charitable trust, aimed at becoming We The People’s forward-deployed defense installation for the US Constitution. Not only from our HQ campus in Texas, but from millions (eventually) of American homes, tied together in the first self-government neural network in the Age of the Internet.

    You make some good points, Mr. Zuniga. That said, when is secession no longer a tactical folly? Never? Many believe we’re headed for disaster, on several fronts. Certainly we should exhaust all other possibilities; interposition, even “pouting” nullification. But only two choices? Then what?

    The mid-term elections will give us further direction.

    I am so proud of Debra Medina. She has taken a stand for history and truth, when it would have been easier to use her talents to promote the GOP and reap the rewards of Party Patronage. Because of her courage and the documented truth she has revealed, her efforts have started a movement. Yes, there is the “We Texans” organization, but a movement is different from an organization . The ‘We Texans” is a great tool to educate and network, but a movement is when individual people begin to take ownership of an issue. People are beginning to say, “How has this happened and what can I do to make things right for my children and grandchildren?”
    Now this is not about Debra, as she frequently says, “she is only the vessel.” This is about individuals beginning to believe that they truly can make a difference and starting to do something. It may be as little as putting a bumper sticker on their car or putting a yard sign out for the first time. It may be reading Tom Woods or Judge Napolitano’s books (or many others by liberty minded authors.) and taking responsibility for educating themselves, their families and their neighbors.
    The problems we are facing did not happen over night and neither will the solutions happen quickly, but we all know about “mojo” and when the tide turns and you have it on your side, even your opponents recognize the change.
    The title of this discussion was about the “eyeliners of Texas” watching Perry. What a change has been made already. Would our Founding Fathers’ have ever believed the day would come when we had to look to our wives, our mothers and our daughters to point the way back to LIBERTY AND FREEDOM!
    Way to go gal. We’ve gotcha back!
