Tennessee Legislature Rejects Strict Restrictions on Asset Forfeiture, Keeps Federal Loophole Wide Open
It appears that the U.S. Senate now has the 60 votes needed to pass the Health Care bill and the vote is set for Monday morning at 1AM. The federal government knows that the bill is unconstitutional but they do not care. That is a problem. Texas and other states must work together to resolve this problem.
What can Texas do?
Last week, Texas State Representatives may have decided that the federal passage of the health care bill was imminent. I caught rumblings that some were starting to lay the foundation needed to make sure this abomination of a bill does not affect Texans. The two strategies that I have heard discussed:
Challenge the bill in court
Nullify the bill in Texas
The challenges to success in either case are significant but if socialized health care becomes the law over Texas then another large part of you and your children’s individual freedom and economic security will be stolen by politicians in Washington DC. So, you need to become involved and you need to get fellow Texas educated and involved, right now.

18 states have a mechanism to recall congressmen. Get something going in your state, show those who voted for this health bill that votes have consequences.
I talked to my State Senator's office a few weeks ago, after learning of the effort in Arizona. I was told that several State Legislators are looking into a similar nullification law. I believe if these laws are challenged, we have four votes to uphold them. Kennedy, even though he has a soft spot for federalism, is a wild card.
