Letter to state leadership on state sovereignty

I sent this letter to our state leadership:

We have a right to defend ourselves and our borders.

We do not need federal money, federal help — we can take care of our own problems. (Since when did every natural disaster become a federal emergency? Really? Please, we states should be self-sufficient… how dependant we’ve become!).

Only, please, don’t let them take our money, if they’re not going to provide the services it was supposed to pay for.

Oh, and all that illegal stuff the US congress and president are doing (let’s call it “extra-constitutional”…), please don’t let them take our money for that.

I expect to pay for the common defense, roads, a postal service, a judiciary, and a few other things. The rest… youcome and take it, you jerks. Everything else should be a state or local taxing issue.

The federal govt would not be a problem, if the states would stand up and stop it. Let the state of Texas defend citizens who pay taxes only to fund the legitimate purposes of the federal govt. By force if necessary. We have the moral imperative. That’s all I need. They won’t kill or imprison us all — they’ll lose public support long before that. Let us only fund the legitimate purposes of the federal govt.

Please, we don’t need more catchy rhetoric, prove you’re not just another big-government progressive republican, who does “just enough to get the 'conservative' vote.”

…really, my federal tax dollars are paying for abortions overseas, for invading foreign countries (Libya) without congressional approval, 3 years of unemployment, etc...

Please help.

If our state and local politicians would stand up for our liberties (those of the state and of the people), the federal government would not be a problem. This union *is* a voluntary compact. And if they will not respect the articles of organization of the compact (that is, the U.S. Constitution), then we ought to depart it.

Nullify. If that doesn't work, then Secede. The only way to stop a mugging is to resist, by force if necessary. We have a right to defend ourselves, and to exit a contract that the other party is not honoring.

Thank you.
