Letter to my State Senator:
Dear Honorable Senator Nelson,
First of all, thank you for your years of service to your constituents and the great State of Texas. I have been living in Little Elm since 2013, and generally have enjoyed peace and prosperity.
However, I've seen my property taxes rise from $5400 per year to $8200 in 3 years. Combined with a $1000 a month forced Obamacare health tax, our standard of living has only increased by the amount of extra work my wife and I have to do.
I am deeply concerned about the direction of our great state and the country, yet optimistic that with Republican leadership backing President Trump's platform of repealing and replacing Obamacare, Immigration reform, and simplifying Tax Code, we can truly be great again.
I am particularly concerned about illegal immigration, the dangers inherent, and the burden to taxpayers. When I read a story like this:
https://www.nytimes.com/2017/02/17/us/mexican-consulates-flooded-with-fearful-immigrants.html
Early this morning I heard from a friend that works with a landscape company the Mexican Consulate is printing birth certificates, Mexican passports, and Mexican IDs for illegals already in this country. They are actively advising illegal aliens in tactics of subversion of US law. This is alarming and unacceptable at best and a criminal act of sedition at worst.
The Mexican Consulate is spending $50 million dollars and importing attorneys that are telling illegal aliens to present these documents and say they are just visiting. It is troubling that they are doing this to keep up the $25 billion in remittances. I think about the impact of illegal immigration on my family's safety and on our taxes and it makes me very angry.
I'm hopeful this is something that can be addressed by the Texas State Senate, the Texas Legislature in general, and at least 38 other States in the Union.
I am asking you to call for a Constitutional Convention of the States. This has never been done before. Before this convention I would ask that you propose four amendments:
1) the 28th amendment calling for the construction, support, and security of a southern border wall
2) the 29th amendment calling for a system of National Voter ID system allowing only living US citizens to vote
3) the 30th amendment calling for the immediate deportation of ALL illegal immigrants, and provisions for work VISA programs that are reasonable, make sense and welcome vetted immigrants that provide a path to citizenship for good people
4) the 32nd amendment calling for 18 year Term limits for Congress
It only takes 32 states to propose and 38 to ratify and amendment to the Constitution of the United States. We have 32 Republican led legislatures, 6 split, and 12 democrat. We have 33 Republican Governors.
I believe that ratification by the states has been done only one time in 1933. It is now time for the people and citizens of this great nation to not just drain the swamp, but bypass it altogether. I'm tired of out of touch career DC politicians making decisions that only work for globalists, corporations, and foreign governments.
Thank you for your hard work and consideration of your constituents and my concerns.
Sincerely,
