Gov. Abbott Signs Executive Order Directing All State Agencies to Prepare to Challenge ‘Federal Overreach'

ΣΧΟΛΙΟ ΙΣΤΟΛΟΓΙΟΥ : Δεν μιλούσαμε τυχαία ΕΔΩ ,  για το Τέξας.!! Και μάλιστα πριν βγεί να μιλήσει ο  κυβερνήτης του Τέξας Greg Abbott. Όποιοι νομίζουν ότι δεν μπορεί να γίνει απόσχιση ή ότι είναι αντισυνταγματική....κάνουν λάθος.! Δεν είναι διόλου αντισυνταγματική η απόσχιση, διότι κατά την σύμβαση προσχώρησης την συγκεκριμένης Πολιτείας στις ΗΠΑ, αναφέρεται πεντακάθαρα πως η Πολιτεία διατηρεί το δικαίωμα να αποχωρίσει όποτε το θελήσει. Τους είχα "προειδοποιήσει και αυτούς (Αμερικάνους) ΕΔΩ σε σχόλιο μου...." Διότι αν εμείς οι Έλληνες δεν έχουμε πατρίδα...αυτή την φορά δεν θα έχει κανένας άλλος.". Είναι καιρός να μάθουν και οι άλλοι ...τι εστί "βερίκοκο". Η σύγκρουση των δύο Αετών έχει ξεκινήσει. Θα "πεθάνουν" και οι δύο....μιά άλλη δύναμη όμως θα είναι ο νικητής. Σας το είχαμε ξαναπεί και ΕΔΩ.

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) says Texas will not sit by and allow the Biden administration to destroy jobs in the Lone Star State and signed an executive order Thursday directing all state agencies prepare to challenge any federal action that threatens the Texas energy industry.

Abbott made the announcement Thursday saying the state was going to take steps to protect the oil and gas industry while also promising to veto any "new green deal" type of legislation, should it be passed, while simultaneously proposing legislation to prevent the banning of natural gas appliances.

"I'm in Midland to make clear that Texas is going to protect the oil and gas industry from any type of hostile attack launched from Washington D.C.," Abbott said. "President Biden's embrace of the green new deal is a job killer in Texas. It also takes a wrecking ball to the energy independence that Texas has been able to provide to the United States of America and Texas is not going to stand idly by and watch the Biden administration kill jobs in Midland, in Odessa or any other place across the entire region."

Abbott then signed an executive order that directed every state agency to, "use all lawful powers and tools to challenge any federal action that threatens the continued strength and vitality of the energy industry. Each state agency should work to identify potential litigation, notice and comment opportunities and any other means of preventing federal overreach within the law."

And when they do that, Abbott said, "that will arm Texas to be prepared to fight back."

Abbott said he was also proposing legislation that would stop local cities and counties from acting to derail the oil and gas energy by banning natural gas appliances in new buildings. An action he said was recently taken in San Francisco.

"In Texas, we will not let cities use political correctness to dictate what energy source you use," Abbott said.

During the roundtable, Abbott spoke with oil and gas workers, energy leaders, and advocates about how Texas can continue to support workers in the wake of COVID-19 and offered reassurance he intended to protect the energy industry.

"If anybody passes a green new deal type policy in Texas it'll be met with a governor's veto and not become law in our state," Abbott said.

Abbott's entire address will be added to this article Thursday afternoon.

Today, Representative Kyle Biedermann (R- Fredericksburg) filed House Bill 1359, also known as the Texas Independence Referendum Act, which would allow the citizens of Texas to vote on whether the Texas Legislature should create a joint interim committee to develop a plan for achieving Texas independence.

This is not a resolution to allow for immediate independence. This legislation will give power directly to the people via referendum and allow Texans the right to discuss, debate and vote on creating a path toward Texas Independence. Regardless of an individual Legislator’s personal opinion on Texas Independence, we ask all Representatives and Senators to Let Texans Vote!

Rep. Biedermann said, “This Act simply Lets Texans Vote. This decision is too big to be monopolized solely by the power brokers in our Capitol. We need to let Texans’ voices be heard! Voters of all political persuasions in Texas can agree on one thing, Washington D.C. is and has been broken. Our federal government continuously fails our working families, seniors, taxpayers, veterans and small business owners. For decades, the promises of America and our individual liberties have been eroding. It is now time that the People of Texas are allowed the right to decide their own future. This is not a left or right political issue. Let Texans Vote!”

Our Texas Constitution duly agrees in Article 1; Sec. 2 which states: 

“All political power is inherent in the people, and all free governments are founded on their authority, and instituted for their benefit. The faith of the people of Texas stands pledged to the preservation of a republican form of government, and, subject to this limitation only, they have at all times the inalienable right to alter, reform or abolish their government in such manner as they may think expedient.” 

Thousands of people a year move to Texas to escape the climate of over regulation and taxation. Texas is seen as the bastion of freedom and a leader of free enterprise, which has built a robust economy, financial solvency, and capacity for massive energy production worthy of the world stage. These are all indications that the Republic of Texas would not just survive, but thrive as an independent nation. Now is the time for Texas to lead.
