By Congressman John Culberson
Texas Insider Report: HOUSTON Texas A couple weeks ago the House of Representatives considered a bill that was solely intended to fund our troops. However the liberal majority in Congress attached nearly $40 billion of unrelated spending including an amendment that would grant the federal government control over education spending in Texas.
This amendment is another blatant power grab from Congress that infringes on Texas 10th Amendment rights.
I was so outraged against the very idea of such a thing that I took to the Floor of the House of Representatives to express my outrage over the amendment.

As a co-founder of
the 10th Amendment Task Force I am working with my colleagues to uphold and protect states rights.
I will continue doing everything in my power to ensure that Texans - not Washington bureaucrats - run Texas.
