Citizens Call to Action

Never in our lifetime has a sovereign state within the Union and its citizens been openly assaulted on a massive scale with no response by the federal government. The federal government is purposely failing to uphold its constitutional duty to protect Texas. It is reasonable to conclude this blatant disregard by the Biden Administration, HHS, Mayorkas, and now the DOJ is solely focused on aiding the criminal cartel organizations that are benefiting from the mass exploitation of human beings and the assault against Texas. As the federal government is failing to uphold its constitutional duty and orchestrating this barrage of unsustainable assaults, it is imperative to remind the federal government that they serve at the behest of the sovereign states. 

Consequently, the federal government only holds the authority of power willingly delegated and agreed upon by the states within the Union. The current actions or lack thereof are nothing short of open assault against the sovereign State of Texas and consequently directly impact every other sovereign State within the Republic. As a result, Texas has had to respond with novel methods under Operation Lone Star. However, despite the best efforts of our Texas Military, Department of Public Safety, local law enforcement, Office of the Governor, Office of the Attorney General, and billions of Texas taxpayer dollars, there is no alleviation in sight.

As such, We, the citizens of Texas, petition Gov. Abbott to take the next necessary step of declaring this as an active invasion. This is Texas, and we will no longer sit idly by while a tyrannical administration over a thousand miles away continues to blatantly encourage the active destruction of Texas, its citizens, and the rest of the United States. We recognize that constitutionally and legally, this pivotal next step would grant the authority our Texas forces require to secure Texas and its citizens by any and all means necessary.

While we acknowledge this action is unprecedented, it is the action that is required. As our chosen elected Governor, representative of We, the citizens of Texas, we are entrusting you with the fate, future, and safety of the State.

We are in the midst of an active invasion which the Biden Administration is inviting. The state of Texas cannot depend on the federal government to uphold the duty of protecting Texans. If Texas is to survive this, our elected state officials must rely on the legal and constitutional powers afforded to the states under an active foreign invasion. The whole world is coming over our sovereign state border. With the real possibility of lifting Title 42 quickly approaching, the time for Texas to act is now! 

If Attorney General Paxton defines this crisis as the invasion that it is, it allows our Governor to invoke Art I, § 10, cl. 3 of the U.S. Constitution, also known as the "State Self-Defense Clause." This action has already been taken by the Arizona AG. Texas has the constitutional and moral obligation to defend its citizens when the federal government fails to do so. Invoking the State Self-Defense Clause allows Texas to protect its citizens and the territory of Texas by all means necessary. The authority is there; the question now is, in these unprecedented times, do our elected state officials have the grit and fortitude to do what is right and necessary to protect Texans?

CALL TO ACTION:

Attorney General Paxton,

Our great state has had to deal with the physical brunt of the border crisis. Since the Biden Administration took office, Texas has been ground zero for illegal immigrants of over 150+ countries to flood over our sovereign state border. Our law enforcement and Border Patrol agents were already overwhelmed with the over 2 million encounters last year. We have just reached over 1 million for the current fiscal year so far. There is no way to truly assess how many “got aways” there have been. When Title 42 is lifted, hundreds of thousands are reportedly ready to cross, with the potential for millions more to follow. Drugs are pouring into every Texas city at alarming rates. Fentanyl and other deadly drug overdoses are skyrocketing, particularly amongst our youth. 

The time is now for Texas to take a bold stand. As your constituent, I am strongly urging you to write an official opinion defining that the state of Texas is under an active invasion. Texas cannot depend on the federal government to defend Texans from the very attack the Biden Administration has invited. Providing your legal opinion will allow Texas far more constitutionally legal means by which we can defend our citizens and the sovereign state of Texas. Thank you!

For Texas!
