Texas lawmakers might send 'cease and desist' to U.S. government

We have 50 productive regions shoveling in tax dollars, and one hungry tax pit that gives back nothing but waste and incompetence. Rather than being sucked down with it, the people of the States want to give DC and its ruling class the old heave-ho. Texas is in the forefront:

Note to Washington, D.C.: Texas is a sovereign state.

After Gov. Rick Perry's recent comments about some Texans talking secession from the union made national news, legislators are considering issuing a "cease and desist" order to the federal government.

"This state prefers, to the greatest extent possible, to control our own destiny," said Rep. Vicki Truitt, R-Keller, one of several members co-sponsoring the measure. "We prefer that federal government limit the amount of federal mandates it forces upon the people of Texas."

House Concurrent Resolution 50, which claims sovereignty for Texas under the U.S. Constitution's 10th Amendment, was one of several proposals to go before the House State Affairs Committee late Tuesday.

Of course, the tax parasites, both high- and low-class, will scream "treason," "racism," blah-blah. But the simple fact is that big government is inherently unstable, unmanageable, and violent. The people have had enough, and change -- REAL change -- is in the air.
