Medina Urges Perry to Call Special Session to Block Health Care Reform in Texas

Debra Medina, a registered nurse and candidate for governor, is taking the lead in defending Texas against the nationalization of healthcare.

“This bill devastates freedom and destroys healthcare. Texas must nullify the action by congress and fight for an injunction in the federal courts. I am urging Governor Perry today to call the Texas Legislature into special session. I am encouraging Attorney General Abbot to begin the work necessary to obtain an injunction against the IRS and the 111 other federal agencies empowered in this legislation to further embed Washington D.C. in our lives. These actions are critical to insuring that Texans are free to make our own decisions about healthcare” stated Medina .

As the U.S. Senate takes up HR 3962, the "Affordable Health Care for America Act," Texans must mobilize now as never before! We must not wait, there can be no delay. We must prepare for the eventuality that the U. S. Senate will pass this bill and be ready to immediately defend the sovereignty of the great state of Texas .

The Texas Legislature must act. Please call your state representative and state senator today. Find your district and their number here: http://www.fyi.legis.state.tx.us/. Ask them to demand that the governor call a special session to address the nationalization of healthcare; to nullify those actions by Congress that undermine the sovereignty of Texas .

With action by our legislature, Texas can solidify arguments for sovereignty in healthcare and against the bill on the grounds that it is unconstitutional. The federal government has no constitutional authority in healthcare. Texas will care for Texans.

Judge Andrew Napolitano said this weekend, “When Congress takes away our freedoms, they will be gone forever. What will you do to prevent this from happening?”

“Please call your state representative and your state senator today. Please join with TEA Parties, 912 Groups and other freedom minded organizations in your area to hold rallies here in Texas to alert all Texans to the need for a special session,” Medina urged. Together We Texans must exhibit the courage necessary to lead the country. We must staunchly defend our sovereignty; we must fight to insure that Texans remain free to make our own decisions about healthcare without mandates from Washington D.C.

If this Obamantion passes let us flood the SCOTUS with literally thousands of suits contesting its constitutionality. One for every page of this pile of excrement.

It isn’t just words. 81(R) HCR 50 passed earlier this year.

Until there is a passed bill to write specific blocks against, you really can’t do much more legislatively than this.

One of the options in the healthcare debacle is an opt-out where states can decline to take part. I’ll bet that if a plan with this option passes, truckloads of people and businesses will move to those stated, most of which will probably be in the SW and southern part of the country.

Arizona has put it on their ballot for 2010 to “opt out” of any healthcare bill that limits us to federal options.

I have been thinking all along that Texas would lead the charge in invoking their 10th amendment rights...

Heh...

There are ALREADY enough federal laws, taxes, fees and regulations that a state could write protections against and effectively nullify.

Action needs to start NOW to begin the nullification of the influence that these marxists and the idiots who vote for them have over out lives and our states! How much more proof do we need that they mean to subjugate us under their rule? We went to their town hall meetings and told them NO! we assembled in our cities and states and told them NO! We gathered in the 100’s of thousands on the steps of congress and told them NO! and still... they proceed...

The sound you hear from the halls of congress is the clanking of chains that are being constructed for US! Do NOT doubt that FACT!

The time for WAR is NOW, but short of war we can attempt to peaceably separate ourselves from their influence and leave them to whatever end they choose for themselves. As free men, it is just that we let them destroy themselves if that is what they choose. It is also just, that they let us choose to not be bound to their insanity! The time HAS come to reclaim our freedom, and if they choose the way of the oppressor and attempt to stop us then it is also time to permanently end their reign on this earth.

Great post, myself6. The time is near. HC and Cap n Trade are the catalyst. “We the People” are waking up fast enough and we will not accept these chains.
