 MA> There is no valid reason for the militarization of thousands of

 MA> civilian areas, violating private property, and conducting random
 MA> searches of our citizens a hundred miles from the border at federal
 MA> blockades on our highways, it angers me.  This is Texas and the soil
 MA> they are violating is the soil of Texas.  We, the people of Texas, all
 MA> the people of Texas, have endured tyrranies, dictatorships, and four
 MA> revolutions, saturating this soil witht eh sacred blood of our
 MA> ancestors, in a desperate and often hopeless struggle to secure our
 MA> liberty.  Having, at no small cost, secured our freedoms via such a
 MA> costly process, I cannot accept the sacrifice of these liberties at
 MA> the hands of any government, for any reason.
 Mike, unless the constitution has been repealed, I would think that
 such action as you have described would be illegal.
