Texas Under Siege Today Like It Was 175 Years Ago at the Alamo

            Today is the 175th anniversary when the Alamo came under siege by the Mexican army under the command of General Santa Anna who was putting down rebellion in North Mexico which is modern day Texas today. When Col. Travis seen the enemy forces encircling the fortress around them. While he had time. He sent dispatches asking for assistance from other Texas Militia units come to the aid to help the defend the Alamo. The early Texans were outnumbered by overwhelming numbers in the Mexican army.
             Col Travis and Jim Bowie who was the commander too did not appease Gen. Santa Anna. They did not try to make a deals with the commanders. There was no bipartisan or the phony spirit of coming together.They stood their ground even though the defenders of the Alamo knew they would die defending the fortress. They did not compromise. They wanted freedom and independence. They stood on principle even when on March 6th they payed for it with their very lives This gave birth to the battle cry"Remember the Alamo"
              Today on February 23rd 2011. 175 years later. Texas is again under siege by an out of control Federal government. The EPA is taking over the energy sector in the name of stopping global warming and carbon credits. The Texas economy is held hostage by a toxic currency called the Federal Reserve note. The people of Texas are getting frustrated because the state legislator is trying to conduct business as usual like nothing is wrong in Texas. The State government will get a rude awakening real soon that they better deliver and not just talk about state sovereignty. From all the fellow Texans I talk to. They want action. They want no negotiations with the federal government to come to an understanding whether it be gun control or the EPA. No making deals so Washington stop dogging them.People are fed up with the state legislator trying to appease the powers the be in Washington.They want the Federal government thrown out of Texas if they are not conducting what is lawful and constitutional in the state.
             The Texas State constitution and the United States constitution was written in a way the common person can read and understand. It does not take an Ivy league Law Degree to interpret its meaning. The people of Texas are running out of patience with the State legislators saying we are looking into all legal options. Both Constitutions give the remedy and the people want the state government to get a backbone to act. If one third of the states stood up and started arresting government agents for breaking laws whether it be the EPA trying to block the State extracting its own natural resources. If the states form their own banks and come up with a currency backed by gold and silver. Paying $5 at the gas pump and hyperinflation can be avoided when the dollar collapses.
              There is a lesson the state legislators in Austin can learn from the defenders at the Alamo. The people who defended the fort did not try to talk there way out of a tight spot with a Military dictator and compromise. Because they knew in the long run they would be enslaved if they kept compromising. They dealt with the situation head on and stood their ground. That stance on March  6th 1836. Those early Texans payed with their lives fighting to the death. Their sacrifice for the cause of freedom inspired the Texas army to victory.
