82% of Central Texas Says No to Democrats Health Plan
Central Texans are overwhelming opposed to the Democrats health care plan, according to poll results and constituent feedback received by U.S. Representative John Carter (R-TX).
Based on what Ive heard from folks here at home, the healthcare bill in the House is absolutely unacceptable to Texans, say Carter. While these are not scientific polls, results like these repeated over and over from thousands of voters send an unmistakable message. This bill must be defeated.
Carter says that to date, 85% of the unsolicited calls, letters, and emails received by his offices on the health care proposal have been in strong opposition to the plan. That number has been reinforced by two polls Carter conducted starting in late July.
Beginning July 18, Carter conducted an email poll of residents of the 31st Congressional district, to which 4,962 had responded through August 6. The poll posted a single question with no introductory remarks or any description of the proposal, asking simply from what you have heard and read, what is your opinion of the healthcare reform package moving through Congress?.
Carter says he is continuing to seek constituent input on the proposal, and has scheduled public meetings in Salado on August 22 and in Sun City on August 28, along with numerous meetings with groups and organizations in the district over the August congressional recess.

Dear Governor Perry,
On March 30, 2009 the Texas House of Representatives passed HCR 50 affirming that the State of Texas claims sovereignty under the Tenth Amendment.
You have publicly supported this bill, and stated that attorney generals from all over the union could be getting ready to sue the US Government.
We are asking you to take the lead.
We are asking you to order the Texas Attorney General to publicly begin working on a law suit under Article IV, Ninth, and Tenth Amendment of the Constitution.
We are asking you to protect the citizens of Texas that we will not stand for government controlled healthcare in our state.
Under your leadership we can effectively kill the proposal of this administration and allow Texas to be a state free from socialism and collectivism.
Be the voice of reason in the national debate and allow Texans the ability to solve the problems of our state.
Thank you,
(Signature Date)

Facts about the 10th Amendment:
The Tenth Amendment (Amendment X) of the United States Constitution, which is part of the Bill of Rights, was ratified on December 15, 1791. The Tenth Amendment restates the Constitutions principle of Federalism by providing that powers not granted to the national government nor prohibited to the states are reserved to the states or the people.
The truth about government controlled healthcare:
Government healthcare is failing miserably in Massachusetts

Article from the Washington Examiner 1/11/09:
Obamas health policy advisers should take a good look at the smoldering wreckage in the Bay State before trying to impose any such universal coverage on the rest of the nation. Link http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/Universal_coverage_First_look_at_the_disaster_in_Massachusetts_011109.html

HCR 50 HAS PASSED THE HOUSE 99-36!
Affirming that the State of Texas claims sovereignty under the Tenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States over all powers not otherwise enumerated and granted to the federal government by the U.S. Constitution, serving notice to the federal government to cease and desist certain mandates, and providing that certain federal legislation be prohibited or repealed.
Take Action! Before it is too late!
God bless Texas. I wonder if Rick Perry invokes the 10th Amendment if other states will follow. I hope Perry does not back down.
I need to move to Texas.
This grassroots movement is evolving beyond health care. It is a movement enveloping an overall opposition against and reversal of the socialist trend that has been occurring for decades.
Thanks so much, mom! (may I call you that?) ‘Preciate the welcome! (learned that from GWB) The only thing that would hold me back is your close proximity to Mexican gangbangers/drug cartels. I do understand that Texans are well armed, however these ruthless thugs are getting bolder by the day & I’ve heard they are exteremly well armed with high powered automatic weapons.
