Texas Sovereignty Bill Passes first Hurdle
From:The Offfice of Rep Creighton
Today, HCR 50, a resolution introduced by Representative Brandon Creighton (R-Conroe), affirming Texas’ sovereignty under the 10th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution passed out of the House State Affairs Committee with a vote of 10-2-1.
…”Each of us, upon taking office, swore an oath to defend both the Texas and United States Constitutions. I believe that my resolution sends a message to Washington that in Texas we intend to do just that. For too long, the federal government has superseded it’s authority and infringed upon rights delegated to the states. Elected leaders in Texas have the constitutional authority to determine what is best for our state without interference from Washington. We need to stand up for that right.”
