Gov Perry and Judge Napolitano headline luncheon

TX Gov Rick Perry is speaking to the 10th Amendment Town Hall in Plano saying
people in Washington are spending money they don't have on problems they don't understand. I think it is to make us more dependent upon them. Govt needs to get out of the way and allow the private sector to do what it does best - create wealth. I've called for a balanced budget amendment to the US Constitution because it works. Now, those in DC do not have the pressure to make those hard decisions. It takes courageous people to do that. In 2003, courageous legislators did the right thing, and cut $10 billion and ended up later with an $8 billion budget surplus. America should follow the Texas model and time for Texas to send the message. The time has come for us to assert our rights - they are there to serve the states, not the other way around. want limited government and a return to our constitutional basis? Are you fed up? On your cell phone, text to FEDUP to 9563. Texas is still the land of opportunity. Introduced Napolitano as a principled jurist...

Judge Andrew Napolitano said Gov. Perry runs the best state in the union. Said KBH has been on Fox News many time, and have known Debra Medina for years. Eloquently explained how our rights are not bestowed by gov't. These are natural to our humanity. The Bill of Rights assures us that government nor the people can abridge our natural rights of freedom. Choose freedom over power, our government has chosen power over freedom. Our Founding Fathers were more interested in liberty. What the federal government can get away with, it does. Money is the mothers milk of politics. The feds know they can buy away the sovereignty of any state if they dangle enough money in front of it. Referenced Constitutional Chaos - a book Napolitano wrote.

Did Patrick Henry say "give me safety or give me death"? NO

Government should obey its own laws including and especially the Constitution of the US.

The Patriot Act authorized federal agents who work for us to bypass the Constitution. No human beings should been trusted with all that power...you never know who will be running government.

This is the maximum hour of danger - you are the generation - now is that moment. Don't let them tell you otherwise.

Jackson summed it up - when the people fear the government, when the government fears the people, there is liberty. God bless you - and thank you!
