Kudos To My Congressman, Kevin Brady

Whenever I email or call one of my Congressman/woman, I don’t expect a reply. I know they’re busy and more than likely it’s going to be one of their staff that contacts me if anyone does. That’s why it was such a nice surprise when I received my form letter from my U.S. Congressman Kevin Brady about an email I had sent him when the Amnesty Bill reared it’s ugly head.

Lt. Governor Dewhurst Let’s Texans Down….Again

lt. governor david dewhurstLt. Governor David Dewhurst let us down….again. He had his chance to push the Voter ID bill through when Senator Whitmire failed to vote on the Texas Senate floor, then coward down when Whitmire got loud and obnoxious. Then he failed to bring the Bill back onto the floor before May 28th, the last day of the session. Thank you Lt. David Dewhurst for, well, for nothing.

Teachers Union Using Fuzzy Math To Spin Poll Results About Bonus Pay

The Houston Federation of Teachers recently polled 3000 of its Houston Indpendent School District members and about half said that they were not happy with the Bonus system started last year for Teachers who improved their TAKS test. (let me guess, that would the half that didn’t get the bonus?)

According to Gayle Fallon of the Teachers Union;

“There’s a significant number in that survey that feel that they ought to scrap the whole idea and give a decent across-the-board raise,”

Help Wanted: Anchor Woman Or Man For Local TV or Newspaper - No Ethics Required

What in the world is in the water in El Paso? Besides rampant butt kissing of the illegal immigrants down there, all I hear is about which media personality has went bonkers.

The latest is the case of KVIA-TV reporter and Anchor woman Celina Avila. It seems that Ms. Avila has a problem paying traffic tickets. I guess I would too if I had $4000 worth. Yep, 4 G’s worth of tickets. I’d like to know what you have to do to get 4 Gerr’s worth of traffic tickets! You can read the story here.

As you’re reading this, I’ll be heading down to Crystal Beach Texas for a little R&R (thanks to the time stamp on Wordpress).

Note To Texas Newspapers: Get A Clue (And RSS)

I love browsing the Newspapers from around the State of Texas. But if you haven’t noticed, Texas is a fairly large state as states go. That means we have some pretty good sized towns and cities. In these towns and cities are newspapers. Many of these Newspapers are facing decreased ad revenue and subscribers thanks to the Internet. Yet, many of these newspapers don’t have a clue.

Judge Blocks Farmers Branch Ban On Renting To Illegal Aliens

Once again, we have a liberal Judge blocking a law that was voted in by legal citizens from taking effect. A Federal Judge (U.S. District Judge Sam Lindsay, a Clinton appointee) issued a restraining order blocking Farmers Branch from enforcing a law that Legal Citizens voted for.

This law would prohibit landlords from renting to [tag]illegal immigrants[/tag]. According to the Dallas Business Journal;

The Villas at Parkside Partners, an apartment complex located in Farmers Branch, sued Farmers Branch over the ordinance, which prohibits apartment complexes from renting to illegal immigrants.

Texas Media Ignores Story Of Senator’s Rage On Senate Floor

I heard about the story of Sen. Whitmires (D, Houston) profanity laced rage from another person the other day. I didn’t believe it simply because I figured if it was true, the news would have been all over it.

After a little digging, I found a podcast of the incident. Seems Senator Whitmire was throwing a fit because he was not on the floor at the time of a vote on the Voter ID bill and his vote was not counted.

Act Now To Get Texas Lawmakers To Pass Voter ID Bill

Fellow Texans! The time is at hand to stand up and be heard!

We currently have the best shot that we’ll likely get at having the Texas Voter ID (HB218) brought up for debate in the Texas Senate without the Liberal Democrats blocking it.

For those of you who don’t know about the Voter ID bill, it’s a bill that will require anyone wishing to vote to provide a photo ID in order to cast a vote. It’s that simple.
