The fourth portion of the Chattanooga Declaration reads : “
Liberty can only survive if political power is returned from faraway and self-interested centers to local communities and States.” Liberty can only survive if political power is returned from faraway and self-interested centers to local communities and States. Putting this in simple term, power needs to be returned to local communities. Lately, this has began occurring in various places throughout Texas. Along the border some of the small towns have defied the Empire by using Spanish in their daily business discourse, one example is El Cinizo, Texas. Around Dallas, some suburban communities, like Irving, are choosing to enforce immigration status verification. Although each of these communities are taking opposing stands on the issue of immigration, they are each taking power into their own hands.
For too long, the citizens have been sitting at the table staring at the chicken dinner and hoping that it would hop into their mouths. They can hope all they want, until they take action, no chicken is going to eaten by them. In the same way, the citizens can talk about gaining power and change, but until they start taking action, it won’t happen.
The Viceroy, Rick Perry is also exercising the power of Texas as a state by using the Teacher’s Retirement fund to influence world affairs. By moving the funds, he impacts events in the world. When the state and local leaders begin taking power away from the central government and using it locally, change will begin to occur. When the people are re-empowered there will be a fresh breeze of liberty.
