Subject: Hold Texas Governor Perry Accountable in 2010

You can link to our website to promote this article:
http://www.facebook.com/l/13886;restorerepublic.ning.com/profiles/blogs/hold-texas-governor-perry

The Texas primary results are in and its Rick Perry for Governor. He was not
on board with Nullification and Right to Recall during his primary campaign,
but in his acceptance speech he spoke of States Powers and "taking our
country back." Let's put him to the test on that.

His opponent for Governor this November is Bill White and we are certain
that he will be more of the same Washington inside politics and it is up to
all Texans to guarantee that will never happen. It will be up to us to see
that Governor Perry lays out his plan for restoring Texas to the position
our forefathers envisioned under our Constitutional Republic. Governor Perry
needs to commit that Texas will demand that our federal government adhere to
the United States Constitution's demand for a small limited government and
adhere to Article 1, Section 8, otherwise referred to as the enumerated
powers clause of the United States Constitution.

What should Texas do when the federal government continues to encroach upon
states' powers and the liberties provided to We The People of the United
States and of Texas. To date, Governor Perry has operated using only
one-third of the power given to states to oppose federal encroachment -
litigation. In his defense he has dispatched the Attorney General to oppose
many federal encroachments upon liberty to the states and the people, but
surely Governor Perry realizes this is nowhere near enough.

What about the Texas power to nullify unconstitutional federal actions? What
about the people's and the states power to recall elected officials? These
are powerful tools in the arsenal of liberty to prevent government tyranny.
Texans must be granted power to "curtail" elected officials who campaign one
way but govern another. The problem that is creating our national uprising
is fully manifest:

Elected Officials are granted "Permission to Govern" ... Not the "Right to
Rule!"

Reduce Our Dependence upon Federal Funds: More than one-third of the Texas
budget depends upon federal money to operate. Texas is a Sovereign State and
sovereignty depends upon financial independence. The days of sending people
to the US Congress with the objective of "seeing we get our share" is over.
(Did you hear that Kay? If the primary did not convince, then we the people
will!) What happens in Washington impacts Texas! Reckless Spending ...
Earmarks ... Unconstitutional Legislation ... Unconstitutional Usurpation
of Power ... Out of Control Debt ... Reckless Borrowing ... Oppressive
Taxation all diminish the sovereignty of Texas. Mr Perry, it is up to you to
manage Texas ... for Texas ... and only with the resources provided by
Texas. We must all live within our means and this means you Governor Perry.
You are our elected official that we grant permission to govern for one more
term. However, your actions must begin now. You must commit yourself to us
on the following two issues Nullification and Right to Recall now.

Nullification: Nullification is a defensive power to protect the states from
an already encroaching tyrannical federal government. Nullification is the
tool states may use when the Constitution is ignored by those who believe
they have the right to rule. The current Congress and President are Ruling,
not governing! The Judiciary is complicit in that is is legitimizing
unconstitutional rule over we the people. All the federal powers of all
three branches of the federal government are guilty of transgression upon we
the people and this transgression must be terminated immediately. With the
democrats trying to ram health care down the throats of the people of Texas
you must stand up and allow a special session of the Texas legislature to
convene and nullify federal healthcare mandates for Texans. Taxation is
backdated to January 1st of this year and the time to act and protect the
citizens of Texas is now ... NOT NEXT YEAR, but Now! The same holds trues
concerning Cap and Trade, which is nothing more than a taxation scheme
designed to transfer the wealth of Texans into the international pockets of
rogue nations via a tyrannical federal government. We The People are
depending upon you to do what is right concerning Protecting Texas from
Federal Tyranny. Nullifying unconstitutional federal actions are required
by Texas now.

Right to Recall: We Texans must also have the right to recall elected
officials that attempt to rule rather than govern. The will of the
electorate must not be diminished or ignored by forcing the people to rely
only upon an election as the means for our voice to be heard. The right to
recall shall be for all elected positions to state and federal government,
and that includes judges. There can be no exceptions to the recall rule ...
it must apply to all elected officials uniformly.

Governor Perry, you stated that due to the expense involved in calling a
special session you would not do so. However, actions are required this year
in 2010. Here's our proposal for you. If the federal government passes
unconstitutional mandates and/or taxation impacting Texans this year in
2010, you will agree to an "early session" of the legislature to meet at the
end of this year to nullify all actions, including taxation, that will
impact Texans in 2010. There are no other options available to you and us
to stop a tyrannical federal government's oppression of Texas citizens.

We eagerly await your reply,

mikehuckabee.meetup.com/7/ -Huck endorses AG Cox -Mi ***Sarah on Leno

Wow, I am headspinning on this.  Who is for FairTax?  And if Hoekstra is of a Romney Camp, it makes me wonder about that? 

 

We need an AG that will have the backbone to stand up for the Constitution and demand things be set right.  Even more so is the Governor who can direct the AG to do so.  So far, we have seen some of that in AG Cox but not all challenges that are being made, are being made by him.  We are being taxed on gas and getting back 50%.  We are about to be threatened by National healthcare tax and some states have already said not in our State will you.  No candidate has called for it as Governor.  Matter of fact, all we here is nothing.  I would like to get to know who wants to be governor and start putting out some tweets on how you feel at the cutting edge.  Dare ya.  At least blog something? 

 

 It may be a while before the election, but we have a Country and a State under Siege. Play it out in the Campaigning.  Maybe we can find some Amens along the way.

New FairTax Book a National Wake-up Call

 

Update My Preferences  |  Tell-A-Friend  |  Visit FairTax.org

Dear R. George, An exciting new book about the FairTax has been written by long-time FairTax advocate Ken Hoagland. In it, Hoagland describes the history of the income tax system, the "bi-partisan fortress" that surrounds and defends the income tax system and the culture of political corruption that has grown up around Washington, D.C. tax-writing committees over the past hundred years. The "FairTax Solution" by Ken Hoagland is a Paul Revere-like call-to-action for all Americans to save the nation from a dangerous path of decline and fiscal irresponsibility. For long-time FairTax advocates as well as those new to the issue, "The FairTax Solution" is a must-read. You can receive a personally inscribed 1st Edition Copy of Ken's great new book when you invest $100 in your National FairTax Victory Campaign right here, right now! Editorial Review The definitive book on the FairTax and its potential to save the U.S. economy Ken Hoagland, an expert on the FairTax and a leading participant in the FarTax campaign, now offers a clear and compelling explanation of this revolutionary idea. He shows that, if we do not take steps to dramatically reform the tax system, our country will continue on a downward spiral of irresponsible spending, lobbyist influence, and unequal citizen representation. he details the history of income tax collection in this country and exposes the day-to-day lobbying practices that have bloated the tax code to 67,000 pages of irrational regulations.   The FairTax Solution: Financial Justice for All Americans By Ken Hoagland Advance praise for The FairTax Solution: "The income tax has penalized the success of hardworking Americans and damaged our economy for far too long. Hoagland describes the shortest and best path to a new era of growth and the restoration of the American dream." --Former Governor and GOP Presidential candidate Mike Huckabee "Hoagland makes crystal clear the danger of keeping hidden the true linkage between government spending and each citizen's earnings. This book makes obvious that without the FairTax, the United States will never bring the spending profligacy of representative government under control." --Former U.S. senator Mike Gravel (D-AK) "Hoagland writes convincingly for the national tax policy change that, with passage, will do more for American liberty, economic healing, and common sense than any other single piece of legislation." --Neal Boortz, radio Hall of Famer, coauthor of The FairTax Book, and nationally syndicated talk show host

WORLD NET DAILY -Mi- 'Biology-based' restrooms called 'discrimination'

Subject: WORLD NET DAILY -- 'Biology-based' restrooms called 'discrimination'

The next Secretary of State of Michigan will be asked to legally enable and legitimize this insane agenda by allowing boys to have their drivers license changed to identify themselves as "female" -- not just regarding showers and locker rooms, but eventually public school sports teams.  And surely it will not end there. 

 

 

"A lawyer for the Maine Human Rights Commission told members of the (commission's) state board today that requiring all students to use 'biology-based' restrooms and locker rooms in the state's schools is illegal and cannot be allowed to continue. 'Schools cannot discriminate against sexual identity or gender identification. Schools therefore cannot segregate students based on sexual orientation and identity,' commission legal counsel John Gause said at today's commission meeting... 'Students who are transgendered should be allowed access that is consistent with their identity or expression, not with their biological identity,' Gause said. 'Also, we should not exclude students with questions of gender identity from playing on the sports teams of their choice.'"

'Biology-based' restrooms called 'discrimination'
'Schools therefore cannot segregate students based on sexual orientation'

---

AUGUSTA, Maine -- A lawyer for the Maine Human Rights Commission ( A Gay Rights Lobby Group)  told members of the state board today that requiring all students to use "biology-based" (aka what we call Traditional Normal Boys Bathrooms for Boys & Girl Bathrooms for Girls...Only) restrooms and locker rooms in the state's schools is illegal and cannot be allowed to continue.

"Schools cannot discriminate against sexual identity or gender identification. Schools therefore cannot segregate students based on sexual orientation and identity," commission legal counsel John Gause said at today's commission meeting, where he was unsuccessful in convincing the board to adopt immediately a set of recommendations.

The commission's vote was 4-1 to hold a public hearing on the adoption of guidelines that would allow biological males to play on girls' athletic teams and use girls' restrooms and locker rooms if they proclaim their gender identity is female.

Today's public meeting was held before a capacity crowd in the main meeting room of the Senator Hotel in Augusta, Maine. The crowd was divided evenly between opponents and supporters of the proposed guidelines for students who have gender identity issues.

Speaking in favor of the guidelines, Gause said they should be adopted because they are how the 2005 Human Rights Law should be interpreted.

"It's the commission's job to interpret the Human Rights Law, and in many cases the courts defer to the commission on the interpretation," he said.

"The guidelines are how the state will deal with education issues concerning students feeling an affinity for a gender that is not the biological one," Gause told commission members. "The 2005 statute is worded broadly and is interpreted on a case-by-case basis. The guidance deals with sports teams, bathrooms use and accommodation of the student's needs."

Gause further believes deference should be shown to students who have identity issues.

"Students who are transgendered should be allowed access that is consistent with their identity or expression, not with their biological identity," Gause said. "Also, we should not exclude students with questions of gender identity from playing on the sports teams of their choice."

He suggested, "We should adopt the guidelines sooner than later."

However, the guidelines were developed in large part at a Dec. 15 meeting to which homosexual activists were invited but not opponents of the plan.

The meeting was attended by representatives of the Gay and Lesbian Advocates and Defenders; Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network; and other "gay," lesbian, bi-sexual and transgender rights groups as well as the Maine Principals Association and the Maine School Administrators Association.

Representatives of the Maine Family Policy Council and other conservative groups say they were not invited to attend the December meeting.

Commission Chairman Paul Vestal questioned the wisdom of adopting the guidelines while a case is still under litigation.

"There is a case that is still in the courts now. I don't think it's wise to adopt these guidelines while the courts are still hearing the case from the Orono schools," Vestal cautioned.

Vestal was referring to last summer's commission hearing about the 11-year-old Asa Adams Elementary School student who was a biological male calling himself a female. The commission ruled in favor of the student and the case is still being heard in Penobscot County Superior Court.

Gause warned the court case could take months to resolve, and the commission shouldn't wait for the court's answer.

Commissioner Kenneth Fredette read a prepared statement on the dispute.

"I'm speaking here today as neither a Republican nor Democrat, neither a conservative or a liberal and neither gay or straight. I'm looking to the Constitution for my feelings on this issue," Fredette read. "As I look at the Constitution, all power is inherently held by the people. I have to ask if the commission met the burden of transparency in this process. The answer is 'No, we did not.'"

He continued, "Each of us must understand that our public schools and colleges are at the heart of our state. Education is of such great importance that our forefathers made reference to it in the Constitution. So when this commission seeks to authorize guidance for our schools, this commission acts beyond its authority," Fredette said.

"I base my decision on the fundamental principles. Has the commission met its obligation to seek citizen input? Has the commission designed a system of due process that protects civil liberties? Has the commission acted in its delegated authority given to it by the authority?" Fredette read. "Now I condemn those who would threaten or bully those who identify themselves as transgendered. Their liberties are important too. We should protect those citizens too.

"I urge the commission to face this issue in a public and open manner and to not issue the proposed guidelines because we have not acted in an open and public manner. We don't have to issue guidance. That's the legislature's authority," Fredette said.

Two other commissioners also wanted public input.

The meeting, at which public comment was not allowed, irritated several members of the audience.

"Some of us drove four or five hours to get to this meeting, and it's nice to know that a bunch of bureaucrats don't care what the people have to say," said one man before leaving.

Vestal said the man had a point.

"I think we need to have a public hearing. That's the only way to make sure we issue guidance that applies to everyone. If you're eliminating one group in favor of another group, you're giving up part of your freedom," he said.

Fredette said the whole concept was a little disconcerting.

"The way I understand it, a student who believes he or she is of a different sex has the right to use the bathroom of the sex with which he identifies. What effect will it have on a student who is of one biological sex and is in the bathroom and a biological person of the opposite sex who identifies with the opposite sex comes in?" Fredette asked.

The proposed guideline:

Transgender students must be allowed access to bathrooms that correspond with their gender identity or expression or, if they prefer, to existing single stall bathrooms.

With respect to locker rooms and shower facilities that involve undressing in front of others, transgender students must be provided with accommodations that meet their needs and that take into account the legitimate privacy concerns of all student involved.

The public hearing is expected to be set up sometime in April or May.

A lobbyist for a homosexual organization earlier argued "an anatomy or biology-based rule for bathroom usage cannot be used to bar transgender students from using a facility consistent with their gender identity."

The current push apparently started over the commission decision last year that found a school in Orono, Asa Adams School, discriminated against a boy by denying him access to the girls' restroom.

The ripples from the ruling now are being felt. According to documents obtained in the state, the University of Maine already is expressing alarm.

A letter from the university office of equal opportunity noted, "There will likely be cases in which allowing a transgender student to participate in gender-segregated sports in accordance with the gender identity or expression will raise legitimate concerns about fairness in competitive interscholastic sports. …"

The letter pointed out "unintended consequences," such as "a transgendered individual's participation on a gender-segregated team could result in the NCAA's treating that team as a mixed team. This would have a number of serious consequences including potentially impacting the institution's compliance with Title IX."

Currently, Colorado, Iowa, Washington state, Washington, D.C., and San Francisco have rules, policies or laws dealing with transgender restroom accommodations. The Maine rules would make Maine the first state in the U.S. to adopt the policies for elementary and secondary school students and the first to extend the rules to private and sectarian schools.

WND has reported on the Christian Civic League of Maine's call for the public to contact state legislators and oppose imposition of the regulations.

This is not the first time the argument has arisen. WND previously reported when the city council of Tampa, Fla., voted unanimously to include "gender identity and expression" as a protected class under the city's human rights ordinance, leading some to fear the council has opened the city's public bathroom doors to sexual predators masquerading as protected transsexuals.

A statement from the American Family Association explained, "Tampa Police arrested Robert Johnson in February 2008 for hanging out in the locker room–restroom area at Lifestyle Fitness and watching women in an undressed state. The City of Tampa's 'gender identity' ordinance could provide a legal defense to future cases like this if the accused claims that his gender is female."

WND also reported on a similar plan adopted by fiat in Montgomery County, Md., which opponents said would open up women's locker rooms to men who say they are women.

The issue also has come up in Colorado, where Democrat Gov. Bill Ritter signed into law a plan that effectively strikes gender-specific restrooms in the state. (SB200 passed in 2008 allowing opposite sex genders to use the bathrooms of their choice).

BANGOR DAILY NEWS: "New guidelines under consideration by the Maine Human Rights Commission designed to clarify the rights of transgender students in Maine has sparked a passionate debate over what some feel are impractical or abhorrent new requirements for public schools. The commission's proposed guidelines, which are scheduled for further consideration on March 1, state that transgender students are guaranteed access to public school bathrooms, locker rooms and sports teams based on whatever gender they consider themselves to be. That means a boy who identifies himself as a girl is by law allowed to use girls bathrooms, locker rooms and participate on girls sports teams, or vice versa." http://www.bangordailynews.com/detail/137047.html

New Book~ 'FairTax Solution' by Ken Hoagland-best path to a new era of growth

George –

 

What if the federal income tax was completely abolished and April 15 became just another spring day? And what if this radical change would actually have a positive impact on our economy, political process, and society – without hurting essential government spending?

 

In THE FAIRTAX SOLUTION (on-sale March 8), leading FairTax advocate Ken Hoagland shows how the current tax system has crippled our economy and undermined the American dream. In the century since its creation, the federal income tax has grown into a monster, jeopardizing the well-being of our citizens and businesses as well as the very foundations of our democracy.

 

The FairTax is a flat sales tax on all new goods and services. As revolutionary as it is simple, it's based on the common sense idea that the federal government should stop taxing what goes INTO our economy—earnings and investments—and start taxing what comes OUT: consumption. This would actually generate MORE revenue while encouraging growth, mitigating political corruption, and fostering a healthier relationship between Americans and their government.

 

Hoagland's clear and compelling analysis shows exactly why the FairTax would be so good for the country.
