Texas Insider Report: FAIRFAX VA Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott deserves the praise of all Americans for refusing to stand by idly as the Obama Administration uses the Gulf oil spill as a pretext to restrict American energy production & cost the oil industry jobs. The moratorium stands to cost Texas some $622 million in GDP and $22 million in tax revenue while putting as many as 190000 jobs at risk should the moratorium continue indefinitely said Bill Wilson president of Americans for Limited Government.
Americans for Limited Government (ALG) issued the following statement praising the state of Texas for
challenging the Obama Administrations moratorium on deepwater off-shore oil drilling:
The state of Texas is leading the charge against the Obama Administrations arbitrary decision to suspend deepwater off-shore oil drilling. After
District Court Judge Martin Feldman enjoined the enforcement of the original moratorium as arbitrary and capricious Interior Department Secretary Ken Salazar simply resubmitted almost the same exact moratorium with a few minor changes.
No where along the way has the Interior Department consulted with affected states as it is required to do under Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act including Texas.
States must continue to push back against the overreach of the Obama Administration in federal court whether against the off-shore drilling
moratorium the EPA endangerment finding the individual mandate under ObamaCare or the latest
mandatory state participation in the $10 billion education fund.
This isnt merely a matter of overregulation by government. This is about a consistent pattern by the Obama Administration to usurp and destroy the states as legitimate institutions enjoying the consent of the governed.
Texas Governor Rick Perry and Attorney General Greg Abbott are leading the charge to make certain that states will remain relevant in our federal system of government and not run roughshod over. These usurpations will only continue unless the states reassert their sovereignty and remain determined to fight to protect the rights of their citizens.

Texas has also
challenged the Environmental Protection Agencys arbitrary finding that carbon dioxide a biological gas necessary for the existence of life is somehow a dangerous and harmful pollutant.
The EPAs endangerment finding itself endangers the future of the U.S. economy which relies on carbon energy consumption to fuel transportation heating and other essentials and Texas fight must be joined by other states.
