This is what the people can achieve when they focus on an issue and use their combined force to inspire their elected reps to do what they want. Another example that We The People are theBIGLOBBY and the owners of the government.
Thank You to both Republican Governor Rick Perry and Democratic Houston Mayor Bill White for the great job they are doing in their quest to keep the Texas border open and to provide shelter for illegal immigrants.
Getting tough on drunk driving?? Remember the drunk singer who was driving his tour bus and crashed it in 2008? Remember that not only was he driving it drunk but he was also illegally driving his tour bus because he does not have a license to drive a bus? Well lookie here, he has pleaded guilty again to driving while drunk and crashing a vehicle back in 2005. Now what is all this crap about being serious about drunk driving?? http://www.kbtx.com/state/headlines/44986647.html Here is the story about his guilty plea from the Houston crash. So where is the real tough punishment?? The politicians do not care about drunks driving and killing you, all they care about is collecting money from them after they drive drunk and after they kill you. It is sort of like a death toll, drive drunk, kill someone and pay the death toll. http://www.nydailynews.com/latino/2009/03/13/2009-03-13_tejano_singer_emilio_navaira_pleads_guil.html
Sex and Money and Politics????http://www.statesman.com/blogs/content/shared-gen/blogs/austin/politics/entries/2009/05/06/sex_and_money_in_nominations.html Why not also allow the average taxpayer the option of sending their kids to this tax payer financed pre-school? I am tired of paying taxes and not being able to send my kid to the pre-school I already pay for, even if I paid a small fee, it would still be cheaper then paying the full price at a private pre-school. If the average taxpayer cannot send their kids to this pre-school then it should not be financed by our tax dollars. Open it up and charge a small fee to those who can pay for it. Maybe I should have raised my son speaking Italian only, would he then be eligible to attend the pre-school or Spanish speaking only kids???http://www.texasinsider.org/?p=8750#comment-4324
The current state of the Republican party is so much like The Wizard of Oz movie. Just like the Tin Man, the Scare Crow, and the Lion the party needs a heart, a brain, and courage. The lost followers of the Republican party are so much like Dorothy wishing to “ go home”, of course the evil witch is played by Barrack Obama and every elected Democrat Representative, Toto is played by many individuals like Rick Perry who voice a good bark but run for cover when the wicked witch looks his way, and of course the Good witch is played by Sarah Palin, So maybe someday the Republican will follow the yellow brick road and when they reach over the rainbow they will find their way to being an honest, caring, party again that realizes they work for the people and that is the course to victory.
suggested by gto:
I’d add the Democrat reps are played by the flying monkeys. Small furry bitey things that only intimidate in large numbers. The trees that waylay passers by are the bipartisan IRS. They loot everybody.
Remember the “ Tax Man”? He used to be an elected public servant working hard to decrease your property taxes, then he switched sides and now depends on high property taxes to feed his family. Be honest Paul if property taxes were suddenly lowered and there was very little need for people to dispute their property taxes you would be out of a job. So now do you lobby against high property taxes and kill your business or do you really lobby for high property taxes and so you can continue to make money?? It was very interesting how he ran for reelection and won then before starting his new term resigned and claimed he had a change of heart, didn’t Tom Delay pull that same crap?? Must be a party thing???
So now when a reporter writes something devastating about a Republican politician and they refuse to disclose their sources the politician can thank their fellow Republicans for giving the reporter that protection and ability to just print accusations without accountability. Real smart move!! http://www.brownsvilleherald.com/articles/law-97523-journalists-shield.html
This Tuesday May 5th is Cinco De Mayo, keep you children home from school that day to protest our Governments refusal to protect Texans by not restricting travel across our southern border. Do not participate in any Cinco De Mayo celebrations, including eating out. Governor Perry has declared a state of emergency in Texas because of the swine flu and many public events have been cancelled, so how do we know our kids a safe in their daily public event of attending school?? If school districts a closing down then why are we not restricting entrance into Texas to limit the amount of new cases of the swine flu?
To my fellow Texans, it is time for theBIGLOBBY to act, it is time for The Voice of Texas to be heard, every citizen of Texas is a standing member and every Texan needs to be heard. The people are theBIGLOBBY and Texans are The Voice of Texas, lead the other 49 states by our example of action. Contact Governor Rick Perry and demand he restrict the traffic through the TEXAS border with Mexico immediately. He has the resources, the money, the tools, and the authority to do it, the Federal Government has failed to protect the citizens of Texas for years it is time for Texans to stand up and protect Texas. Let them go to New Mexico, Arizona, or California, but not through TEXAS.

First Rick Perry states, " Millions of Texans are tired of Washington, D.C. trying to come down here to tell us how to run Texas," http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/1649134/rick_perry_of_texas_asserts_10th_amendment.html Then a few days later on April 17th Perry asks the Federal Gov for money http://uk.reuters.com/news/video?videoId=102037 Well guess what Rick, just like with your Mom and Dad, if your gonna take their money they are gonna tell you what to do, so grow a set. The Republican party of Texas needs an honest person, not a politician, to run for governor and neither Rick or Kay Bailey fit that description.
This is why poverty is up in Texas, this is why so many in Texas have no health insurance, why average grades in our schools is so bad, why there are so many driving without insurance, why drugs and crime are flooding our communities. The open TEXAS border is the problem and TEXAS needs to close its border, it is not the FEDRAL Government and the other 49 states that is being drained and victimized by our open border, it is TEXANS who are on the front line and TEXANS who are being attacked. It is the TEXAS border and it requires a TEXAS solution, stop accepting the bullcrap from our state leaders. http://www.elpasotimes.com/newupdated/ci_12138997
ATTN RICK PERRY!A few weeks ago Hillary Clinton gave you a gift about illegal drugs heading north and crossing our open border and you remained silent, now Obama is giving you another opportunity regarding illegal guns heading south across the open border. So stop being a dumbass, get on every media outlet you can and demand the FEDERAL Government secure the southern border NOW. Unless of course you are full of crap and want the border to remain open for drugs, killers, terrorists, and diseases to cross over into our communities. http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/front/6376969.html
When elected politicians are allowed to speak at an event like the “ Tea Parties “ and the event has a heavy leaning towards one particular political party over the other then that event and that organized movement is not a real movement of “ the people “ but simply an extension of that particular political party hiding behind a false facade.Both political parties are the disease that has sickened our nation, and BOTH political parties need to be cleaned out of their cancer or our nation will continue plunge into a sea of misery and darkness.
The cure starts right outside your front door within your community, working with your neighbors, get involved and help secure a better future for our children.If you have any information about any honest community based grass roots organizations send it in and we will share it and provide a link and web space for them, no matter which side of the political spectrum they belong to. This is a time where we must come together focused on what we have in common not what separates us and keeps us apart.
The biggest threat to our established political parties is when the people find common ground and join together to create solutions to our problems, keeping us separated and angry at each other is what empowers the political parties. We The People are the owners of our nation, not the political learders.
This cannot be true! A Republican working for the interests of trial lawyers?? The burden of proof should always be the responsibility of the plaintiff to establish beyond a reasonable doubt, it is the responsibility of the defendant to DEFEND gainst it not establish it.
One person with a long range plan of action and perseverance can make as much of an impact in their community then thousands standing in protest with signs trying to change the whole nation. The focused everyday battle in the community is where your power is rooted and where change occurs faster.http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/front/6361833.html New Texas license plateshttp://www.kristv.com/global/story.asp?s=10132489
In today’s economic climate isn’t there a much better use of this money? If this was such an important project there must be enough interest in the private sector that the money could have been raised through donations and corporate sponsorships, a questionable waste of taxpayers money.http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/front/6361938.html Mayoral candidate has filed 68 lawsuitshttp://www.elpasotimes.com/newupdated/ci_12087110
