Reprezentantii statului Texas introduc o rezolutie prin care declara suveranitatea fata de USA

“Al 10-lea Amendament asigura ca noi, poporul Statelor Unite ale Americii si fiecare  stat suveran din Uniunea statelor, avem acum, asa cum am avut intotdeauna, drepturi pe care guvernul federal nu le poate uzurpa”, declara rezolutia, in timp ce “Sectiunea 4, atr.IV, din Constitutie spune ca Statele Unite vor garanta fiecarui stat din aceasta uniune o forma republicana de guvernare” si “al 9-lea Amendament specifica faptul ca enumerarea in Constitutie a anumitor drepturi, nu va fi interpretata astfel incat sa umbreasca alte drepturi ale poporului.”

Un numar de propuneri venite de la administratiile trecute, cat si altele acum in asteptare venind de la administratita prezenta si de la Congres ar putea incalca in continuare Constitutia Statelor Unite; acum, prin urmare, se considera hotarat ca a 81-a Legislatura a Statului Texas, prin prezenta, declara suveranitatea, conform celui de-al 10-lea Amendament al Constitutiei Statelor Unite, fata de toate puterile neenumerate altfel si acordate guvernului federal de Constitutia Statelor Unite.

R50 serveste “ca notificare si solicitare adresata guvernlui federal, in calitatea sa de agent al nostru, de a inceta si sista, incepand din prezentul moment, mandatele care exceed scopul acestor puteri delegate in mod constitutional” si ca “intreaga legislatie federala compusiva- care indica statelor sa respecte, sub amenintarea sanctiunilor civile sau penale sau care cere statelor sa aprobe legislatie sau sa aprobe fonduri federale- sa fie interzisa sau abrogata.’

In sfarsit, rezolutia directioneaza Secretarul de stat al Texasului sa inainteze copii oficiale ale acesteia Presedintelui Obama, Purtatorului de cuvant Pelosi, Presedintelui Senatului, Joe Biden, si tututror membrilor delegati ai Texasului in Congres. In plus, exista o cerere oficiala ca rezolutia sa intre in registrul Congresului ca “un memoriu catre Congresul Statelor Unite ale Americii.”

Texasul se alatura statelor: Washington, New Hampshire, Arizona, Montana, Michigan, Missouri, Oklahoma, California, si Georgia, care au introdus proiectele si rezolutiile prin care-si declara suveranitatea conform celui de-al 10-lea Amendament. Colorado, Hawaii, Pennsylvania, Arkansas, Idaho, Indiana, Alaska, Kansas, Alabama, Nevada, Maine, si Illinois iau si ele in considerare aceste masuri.

“Desi ramificatiile acestor rezolutii sunt inca neclare, un lucru este totusi clar,” scrie Barbara Minton.”Oamenii s-au saturat de uzurparea de catre guvernul federal a puterilor acordate prin Contitutie. Le-a ajuns frica de terorismul economic si de promovarea ascunsa a politicilor si procedurilor care trec peste decizia si vointa oamenilor.”
