State Over Federal? No!

Dear President Obama, Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders,

A Texas Republican Governor name Greg Abbott wants come up with a bill that involves letting state laws overrule federal laws. This is a bad idea that worries me. The reason why I say this is a bad idea is because if this happens, Republicans within each state can have the power to strip away United States Citizens Constitutional Rights. Everything that we, as United States American citizens, have worked so hard for in our 400 years will be for nothing. Over those 400 years, people, whether they are male or female or of any racial background, have died trying to give new meaning of pursuing "life, liberty and happiness". According to their recent history, Republicans who are Senators, State Representatives, and State Governors have been doing everything in their power to slowly take away our constitutional rights such as scheming and plotting to block the voting rights for everyone, especially minorities, taking away same sex marriage rights, bringing unfairness and injustice toward minorities, blocking refugees from the safety from dangers they may face, cheating U.S. citizens out of their fair share of their hard working income and of course, repealing President Obama's Healthcare Plans, also known as Obamacare, that will help the unprivileged have healthcare in the United States. This bill will give Republicans with each state the opportunity to abuse and overuse their power and treat people like me as second class citizens. All of us, whether male or female, or whether any racial background deserve the right to live in the United States of America with independence and in pursuit of "life, liberty and happiness".
