Texas State Representative Senfronia Thompson doesn't like the resolution endorsed by Governor Perry that would serve notice on the federal government that all powers not ennumerated to the federal government reside with the states. The feds need the reminder -- our government has grown far too big and is subverting the Constitution with all the politically correct handouts and policies coming out of Washington.
Ms. Thompson said she opposed the resolution because it challenged the federal authority to regulate guns and taxes and fund children's health and unemployment insurance. Well, duh! That's the whole point. The Federal government has no such authority. The Second Amendment is our regulation on firearms, and it says we can have 'em. And in 1776, we declared our independence over taxation without representation. We're essentially in the same position now. Our Congress members are by and large corrupt, and their main concern is redistributing wealth, not funding legitimate government. And I guarantee you won't find any mention of health or unemployment insurance in the Constitution!
Senfronia Thompson and her ilk are the very reason we needed this resolution!
