The First Amendment, the Tenth Amendment & Why Texans Have the Right to Take Action

Your rights to speak out, challenge government actions, run for office, and defend other Texans are protected by three powerful amendments:

The First Amendment — Your Voice

It protects:

• Free speech

• The right to petition your government

• The right to speak truth to power

This amendment guarantees you can expose injustice, fight abuse, and stand up for families and seniors being crushed by taxes.

The Tenth Amendment — State Power & People Power

The Tenth Amendment says:

All powers not given to the federal government are reserved to the states and the people.

This is where your right to act comes from.

You’re not asking for special treatment —

you’re exercising the power the Constitution gives every Texan to protect themselves.

This amendment is the reason:

• You can challenge unconstitutional laws

• You can fight unfair taxation

• You can invoke your state rights

• You can stand up against government overreach

The Fourteenth Amendment — Equal Protection & Fairness

The Fourteenth Amendment ties it all together by ensuring:

• No Texan is treated unfairly

• No group gets special privileges

• Every citizen receives equal protection

• Corrupt or abusive government systems can be challenged

These three amendments combine into one message:

You have the right — and the responsibility — to fight for justice when government steps out of line.
