Texas Lawmakers More Concerned About Marriage Than Illegal Immigration

I guess I shouldn’t blame our state’s Lawmakers. They’re probably taking a que from our National Lawmakers.

Our Lawmakers are becoming more and more spineless - do nothing mouth pieces. Few of them want to tackle the hard issues because they’re afraid they’ll disinfranchise some sector of voters. This is what happens when people make a career out of being a politician rather than serving for a few years then going home, getting a real job and being outstanding pillars of the community. This is the way our Founding Fathers wanted it, but it sure as heck isn’t the way it’s evolved. (wow, I almost got on a term limit rant..shew…that was close)

Take for instance the Texas Lawmakers action with HB2685. Seems our Texas Lawmakers are more concerned about people getting married than they are about millions of illegal aliens coming across the Texas border with Mexico.

The truth is, this is a pretty safe bet if your a Lawmaker. You’re pretty well assured of not upsetting anyone with a bill like this, ‘cept perhaps a couple broke 18 year olds with raging hormones who want to get hitched.

Now the hard question. Who is going to write the Marriage book of Texas? Gov. Perry? Or will we have to  have another “Special Session” to get this accomplished?

Don’t get me wrong. I think marriage is a sacred relationship between a Man and a Woman, but I also believe the State of Texas has no business passing stupid laws about marriage. I know for a fact that the State of Texas has larger problems than whether or not a couple will stay married just because they read a marriage book from the State so they could save $60.

I would rather my elected Officials get the job done that I sent them there to do. It’s not the safe thing or the most political correct thing, but it’s what you agreed to when you ran for Office and we elected you.
