The Great State of Texas will reject Obamacare if it passes. Gov. Rick Perry is stating that he will invoke the 10th Amendment to keep Texas out of a future national system. I really like how Texas is standing up to the Progressive-Fascist Dictatorship in Washington. More states need to stand up against these totalitarians and preserve what is left of our freedom. It is no coincidence Texas is doing better than the rest of the nation economically.
AUSTIN — Gov. Rick Perry, raising the specter of a showdown with the Obama administration, suggested Thursday that he would consider invoking states’ rights protections under the 10th Amendment to resist the president’s healthcare plan, which he said would be “disastrous” for Texas.
Interviewed by conservative talk show host Mark Davis of Dallas’ WBAP/820 AM, Perry said his first hope is that Congress will defeat the plan, which both Perry and Davis described as “Obama Care.” But should it pass, Perry predicted that Texas and a “number” of states might resist the federal health mandate.
“I think you’ll hear states and governors standing up and saying ‘no’ to this type of encroachment on the states with their healthcare,” Perry said. “So my hope is that we never have to have that stand-up. But I’m certainly willing and ready for the fight if this administration continues to try to force their very expansive government philosophy down our collective throats.”

The Progressive attack machine will soon begin heavy attacks on Rick Perry and the state of Texas. However, unlike other Republicans, they better be prepared for a fight. Texans are not pushovers and the result could well be: The Republic of Texas!
