BREAKING – Perry adds Texas TSA bill to special session
http://blog.tenthamendmentcenter.com/2011/06/breaking-perry-adds-texas-tsa-bill-to-special-session/
AUSTIN, Texas (June 20, 2011) – On Monday, Texas Gov. Rick Perry presented legislation (http://governor.state.tx.us/news/proclamation/16304/) for consideration in the ongoing Eighty-Second Texas Legislature, First Called Session that would ban intrusive TSA pat-downs.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, RICK PERRY, Governor of the State of Texas, by the authority vested in me by Article IV, Section 8, and Article III, Section 40, of the Texas Constitution, do hereby present the following subject matter to the Eighty-Second Texas Legislature, First Called Session, for consideration:
Legislation relating to prosecution and punishment for the offense of official oppression of persons seeking access to public buildings and transportation.
The move comes after a videotaped discussion at a book signing between a Texas resident and the governor went viral. In the widely circulated YouTube video, Perry indicated that he would not present the TSA bill unless there were enough votes in the House and Senate for passage. When the constituent indicated the support existed, Perry acted surprised and then went on to say he didn’t think there was enough time to get the legislation passed
Bill author David Simpson (R-Longwood) released an open letter (http://blog.tenthamendmentcenter.com/2011/06/fed-up/) to Perry Monday morning, pleading with the governor to get the bill on the agenda.
“Texans overwhelmingly support this measure as I am sure your office can attest. And the Legislature is ready to pass it as soon as you call the bill,” Simpson wrote. “Governor Perry, there remains only for you to call the bill. Any concerns for time would be quickly wiped away if you would take the bull by the horns and provide leadership on this bill.”
The bill will move forward in the Special Session as HB 41 (http://www.capitol.state.tx.us/BillLookup/History.aspx?LegSess=821&Bill=HB41).

EDITOR’S NOTE: Sources close to the Tenth Amendment Center tell us to expect at least 10 other states considering similar legislation in the 2012 legislative session. Utah (http://blog.tenthamendmentcenter.com/2011/06/utahs-upcoming-opportunity-to-uphold-the-fourth-and-oppose-the-tsa/) and Michigan have already joined in.

STATE RIGHTS = FREEDOM
Where does freedom come from, the local level.
Texas Tells Feds: Shove Your Light Bulb Ban
http://nation.foxnews.com/culture/2011/06/20/texas-tells-feds-shove-your-light-bulb-ban
State lawmakers have passed a bill that allows Texans to skirt federal efforts to promote more efficient light bulbs, which ultimately pushes the swirled, compact fluorescent bulbs over the 100-watt incandescent bulbs many grew up with.
The measure, sent to Gov. Rick Perry (http://www.foxnews.com/topics/politics/rick-perry.htm#r_src=ramp) for consideration, lets any incandescent light bulb manufactured in Texas - and sold in that state - avoid the authority of the federal government or the repeal of the 2007 energy independence act that starts phasing out some incandescent light bulbs next year.
"Let there be light," state Rep. George Lavender, R-Texarkana, wrote on Facebook (http://www.foxnews.com/topics/facebook.htm#r_src=ramp) after the bill passed. "It will allow the continued manufacture and sale of incandescent light bulbs in Texas, even after the federal ban goes into effect. ... It's a good day for Texas."
The Natural Resources Defense Council, a New York-based environmental group, is calling on Perry to veto the bill.

EDITORIAL: States challenge feds on guns
Ninth Circuit hears case to nullify federal intrastate firearm regulations
http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2011/jun/15/states-challenge-feds-on-guns/
Eight states have thrown down the gauntlet and denied the federal government's authority (http://www.washingtontimes.com/topics/federal-governments-authority/) to regulate firearms that never cross state lines. In 2009, Montana became the first to enact a law declaring any gun manufactured and kept within the state’s borders was subject only to state rules. It’s now up to the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals (http://www.washingtontimes.com/topics/court-of-appeals/) to decide whether Montana - and by extension Alaska, Arizona, Idaho, South Dakota, Tennessee and Wyoming - must yield to the whims of Uncle Sam.

This should be interesting. You just know that they really want to strike it down, but this one is on such shaky ground that doing so would really make a lot of people mad.

Am i supposed to forget Rick Perry passed FORCED Gardasil inoculations for all girls in Tx? How about the Texas Transnational Corridor/NAFTA superhighway? What about Perry attending Bilderberg in 2007? How about the killing of small farmers in Tx?
This guys is a SNAKE in the grass, and always has been.

I would caution against too much enthusiasm - Perry is the new coke through his media facade. The groundswell support against the TSA is a great vehicle to establish political momentum, and if you dig deep enough you'll find many Texans have less than stellar opinions of the job he's been doing. It would be like Obama championing a populist legislative move - the one issue mentality would be falling over themselves in support. During these times of testing the waters Perry is being carefully positioned, but don't forget he was originally against the idea and only after strategic consideration did his handlers convince him to put his name to it.
I have no doubt Texas is a powerful state enterprise, but the same operatives found around the country corrupting the process are gearing up for the political rutting season there too. Let's not forget Perry was Al Gore's campaign chairman in Texas - to this day I've always found that a suspicious indicator along with his relationship with George W. Bush. And he is firmly in the support Israel camp. Also look into his support for McCain's attempt at the White House. Also take a look at his campaign contributors - Contran Corp. run by Harold Simmons has contributed over a million dollars to Perry (Simmons has connections to Iran-Contra and Newt Gingrich). Perry may appear to be a contradiction, but only until you move beyond the two-party paradigm.
At this point the elites are playing games and moving the chess pieces to establish the early confusion on which to build. Perry is the dark horse - Americans love outsiders to their own peril. The TSA is the perfect foil - everyone quietly hates their routine, and I have a hard time believing batteries of lawyers from both state and federal levels haven't already worked out the details to gift-wrap it as a Trojan horse. Is it a good move at the state level? Unto itself absolutely. But these things are never what they appear to be. Due dilligence is the only path before accepting anything sourced from political origins.

I have never liked Perry, he is a pure political animal. The only time I have voted for him was because the others running were even more sleazy or had worse agendas than him. He does not make any moves that do not benefit him or his friends. That said , I am for sticking the pat down and over zealous tsa bullshit up , the collective tsa's ass.
So here is the thing, he wants to be president someday, he will settle for vice president if that gets him close to his true desire and that is top dog. And he will say and support anything that gets him there.
This tsa bill is perfect for him to make his name on the national stage, and he will run with it as long as it benefits him and his goals. Anything to take him from the state and local stage , to the national one. He will pander, lie, suck ass , and screw any goose that will get him to where he wants to go. Just like any other political critter!

Perry has to tread carefully. He's ready to launch his national campaign, but he's backed into a corner due to the TSA issue in Texas. If he blocks this overwhelmingly popular bill, he'll be seen as a traitor to Texas and freedom. The globalists will be happy with him, and the MSM will fawn, but the people will know he's a shill and he'll have 0 support in his own state.
On the other hand, if the bill passes, and Perry signs it, he will have defied TPTB and endeared himself to Texans and freedom-lovers. That could get interesting.

If this passes good. But then expect the next false flag to occur in a Texas airport or something similar. Then it'll be obvious that our rights are worth giving up for safety.

Back in 2007, Rick Perry was the keynote speaker at the Bilderberg conference in Istanbul, Turkey. Anybody want to guess how this will turn out?

Rick Perry didn't attend Bilderberg 'cause they have great hors d'oeuvres.
