 Petition Calling For A Special Session
By: Jared Woodfill
Chairman, Harris County Republican Party

HCRP Chairman Jared Woodfill
As you know, President Obama's socialized medicine bill is threatening our economy, our health and our freedom. This is the first time in American history that the federal government has mandated we buy a service. 
 
But there is something we can do.  I'm calling on every Republican to sign our online petition asking for Governor Perry to call for a Special Session of the Texas Legislature to enact legislation that would nullify Obamacare in the state of Texas.   Specifically, a Health Care Freedom Act that would override any law, rule or regulation that forces employers or individuals to join any particular health care system.
 
The Tenth Amendment to the US Constitution states: "The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people."  The nullification process allows states to enforce those rights and ultimately "resist federal encroachments on their powers." (1798 Virginia and Kentucky Legislatures). When a state decides to nullify a federal law, it is simply saying that the particular legislation is not law within that state.
 
Now is the time for us to stand up and tell Washington, "Enough is Enough! Please sign our online petition asking Governor Perry to call for a Special Session of the Texas Legislature to nullify Obamacare.
 
Thank you for your commitment to the conservative cause.
