As written, with new privatizations, and new powers for an AG to personally enact that, nope.)Gadflyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13075757287807731373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597101.post-54087662526019058682018-11-18T15:45:36.555-06:002018-11-18T15:45:36.555-06:00We the people have the right to empanel a grand ju...We the people have the right to empanel a grand jury and criminally prosecute govt officials for violations of their office I suggest you look up Tex Penal Code 39.02 and 39.03 Once govt officials are civilly or criminally prosecuted for violations of the TX Penal Code they may begin to honor the rights of We the PEOPLE. interesting that 18 USC 242 offers no defense of official, judicial, 11th Amendment, or qualified Immunities when civilly prosecuted for crimes of willful violations of the Constitution (the Bill of Rights) see Screws v United States 325 U.S. 91 (1945)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597101.post-62012493332766908282018-11-18T12:49:39.082-06:002018-11-18T12:49:39.082-06:00I think I did a Gracie Allen on that one.

We the people haven't had representation for many years.<br /><br />Not one Public Employee follows the Texas Constitution as their Oath of Office requires.<br /><br />America is supposed to be about FREEDOM. There is NO freedom in America, only slaves to pay taxes on everything and I mean everything!<br /><br />Property rights were what America was about (called freedom to live your life). We the people have been "educated" to Commercial law and consequently have had our rights removed by uninformed, ignorant of Common Law Public Officials. Example of this is the County Appraisal Districts working for Entities that charge for their services. Yes, it is true that if your property has a mortgage that you generally pay taxes. The reason for this is that YOU signed their Contract agreeing to pay the taxes that the Mortgage Corporation owes.<br /><br />We have not had a Governor in Office that works for the people and property rights. In fact, the Texas Supreme Court fails to follow the Texas Constitution.<br /><br />Think about it and do some research!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
