Last night on my way home from work, I was reading the news on my blackberry just like I do every other night.  I didn't expect to read anything particularly shocking and let's face it, with the Democrats in charge there is not much more that would actually surprise me.  However, last night turned out to be rather memorable for me.  I came across a headline about Texas Governor Rick Perry.  It turns out that Gov. Perry and the Texas Legislature are trying to pass a House Resolution (HCR 50) in support of States Rights under the 10th Amendment.  Please watch the following video and see what a Politician who understands the Constitution sounds like.  Gov. Perry has risen exponentially in my mind as a Leader of the new Republican movement.  I have been asked several times what I thought of the Tea Parties and I am totally in favor of them, however, I believe that the system is so far corrupted and the federal government is so distant and abusive of the powers granted to them by the Constitution, that the only real progress must come from within the Government.  This of course is not an easily attainable task since it would require Politicians to regulate themselves and limit the amount of money and power that they accumulate.  There are several things that the Government could do to return this Country to the one envisioned by the Founding Fathers and returning our Government to the limits imposed on them by the 10th Amendment is an excellent start.  The People of Texas should feel proud that they have elected a true patriot and a role model for Politicians throughout America.  Watch the following, it is worth it!

I do feel like the federal government has become a tyrant - both Dems and Repubs are guilty of tyranny. The GOP needs leaders like Gov. Perry! Federalists and Fiscal Conservatives need to take back the GOP! If the big spending "conservatives" don't like it, they can vote Democratic because fiscal conservatism and federalism are ideas that win the suburbs and even a few blue states. Regarding social conservatism, we just need to stand behind the Constitution - nothing more, nothing less.

Still proud to call San Antonio my home town - Texas never leaves you!

This would be the guy to knock off my Romney obsession, lol. =)

We are very lucky in the sense that we began our Nation with an excellent blueprint of the path to success and freedom. Unfortunetly, we continually moved away from the Constitution which has led us to our current predicament of economical chaos and severely corrupted and mismanaged government.
