NULLIFICATION - Take Action for Texas TODAY
Member since 2009-12-17
Hello Fellow Patriots!

I have a request for you to TAKE ACTION ASAP: I’m asking you to take a few minutes out of your busy holiday schedule and take one simple action that may be the only way to save Texas and preserve our republic – call for a resolution of NULLIFICATION.

Here is what I'd you to do, and I’ll explain why below:

Mail me a Christmas card THIS WEEK (I’m sure you have an extra lying around).
Address it to: Erin Anderson, WTPAT 9-12 Assn, P.O. Box 840873, Houston TX 77284-0873

On the inside of the card, write:

To Governor Rick Perry:
Call a Special Session of the legislature for January 2010, to pass a resolution of Nullification of federal laws.
Signed (or feel free to wish the Gov a Merry Christmas!),
(Your names – everyone in household)
(Your address, city, TX ZIP)

I will take cards out of the envelopes, put them in a sack, and in “Miracle on 34th Street” fashion, deliver them all to Austin Christmas week! Though I may not have the satisfaction of dumping them out on Perry’s desk, I would like a huge sack – or more than one – to deliver.

What is NULLIFICATION & WHY is it Important?
When the federal government enacts laws that are beyond the scope of its constitutionally enumerated powers, it takes away our freedoms as states and as individuals, and imposes on us the economic and social consequences. With unconstitutional legislation such as health care “reform” and “cap & trade”, the federal government is attempting to tell Texans what we can and can’t do and charge us for the privilege! Fortunately, the Tenth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution protects us from this very thing and allows a state to “nullify”, or make null and void, any law that the STATE determines is unconstitutional.

Why NOW? – I’m Busy!
Ideally we want to have a resolution of Nullification in place BEFORE any legislation is passed – along with an injunction against the collection of associated taxes. For example, if health care passes this year, the IRS will begin collecting taxes to pay for it in January 2010. The sooner we act, the less the damage. (Since the Texas legislature only meets in odd years, a Special Session is needed – yes, it costs money, but it is a miniscule portion of the cost of pending federal laws.) Also, we have greater leverage with Governor Perry BEFORE the March primaries. PLEASE don’t wait – it only takes a minute!

You can just trust me on this one and send the card, OR:
Go to NotInTexas.org (http://www.notintexas.org) for a short & simple explanation of Nullification. You can also sign a letter to your state representatives asking them to request a special session to pass a resolution of nullification (click on “Call to Action”) – Neil Cavuto featured this campaign on Fox News. Another great resource is The Tenth Amendment Center (http://www.tenthamendmentcenter.com).

Have more time and want to learn more?
Watch this excellent video series by Thomas Woods on “Thomas Jefferson and the Principles of 1798”. In Jefferson’s Kentucky Resolution and James Madison’s Virginia Resolution, the authors of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution, respectively, detail the unquestionable right of the states to nullify – refuse to enforce – any offending law. Each of the five videos runs about 10 minutes.

Texas is supposed to be a leader in the nation, yet many other states have already taken action to assert their right of nullification. Governor Perry needs to demonstrate his leadership if he expects to earn our votes. (In fact, he claims to already be on board, according to this quote from July 23, 2009: "... I'm certainly willing and ready for the fight if this administration continues to try to force their very expansive government philosophy down our collective throats.")

The U.S. Congress is not taking time off from pushing for federal government takeovers of health care, energy, banking, business, education, media, and the weather – OR from spending TRILLIONS of our tax dollars. PLEASE do what you can – send me a card, maybe make a phone call, or send a letter or email – whatever you have time for.

Finally, PLEASE forward this message TODAY to at least 10 other Texans. Washington may not be listening to us, so we must bring this fight home to TEXAS – and we must do it NOW!

If we can make this happen, it truly will be a HAPPY NEW YEAR!
