BE assure Senator we are NOT only watching Washington we are Watching our State Representatives. It does NOT good to deny power to Washington if our state government is NOT anymore responsible than Washington.
We need people all all levels of government that are aware of who they represent and represent those that elected them NOT special or personal interests.

assured instead of assure
does NO rather than does NOT

I understand, I get so upset with government that my fingers are too mad to type.

The required action is simple! Vote Lloyd Doggett’s ass out of Congress OR recall him! Look, Doggett is from Austin and Austin leans toward Obama’s agenda for more power, so why is it a surprise to anyone that Doggett’s loyalties are geared toward Dear Leader’s and not Texas? VOTE HIM OUT!

This is exactly the type of arrogant act of pandering to the feds that justifies a vote to retire Lloyd Doggett after the next election. By tying ropes (not strings) to federal education funds, Doggett has aided and abetted this administration’s efforts to punish Texas and Governor Perry for not kowtowing to their will. In addition, he has abdicated this state’s right to determine how we educate our children…a direct violation of the Texas Constitution.

An outstanding conservative candidate, Dr. Donna Campbell (an emergency room MD from Columbus) is running against “Lord Doggett;” and she actually has the knowledge and experience necessary to craft effective reforms to our healthcare and Medicare systems…reforms that will not send the nation into a deficit abyss, like ObamaCare will if implemented. in addition, Dr. Campbell will actually represent the PEOPLE in the 25 C.D., and not be beholden to the unions, the trial lawyers and other liberal advocacy groups who have historically provided the vast majority of Doggett’s financial backing.

November is coming, and “YES,” it is that important!

We all have to rally as many people to the polls as we can and offer to take as many people with us we can fit in our vehicles! The traitors in DC and in our state legislature that are aiding and abetting this Socialist/Marxist President accomplish his dirty deeds must GO amd be replaced with strong conservatives we can trust and have our values……………and WILL LISTEN TO WE THE PEOPLE!.

RADMAN: I checked Dr, Campbell out and I have decided to help her out! Dogget is a J@ck@$$ that needs to be corraled!

I am re-writing the adage of the 60s: Save water, shower with a friend. Now my mantra will be:

SAVE OUR COUNTRY…VOTE WITH A FRIEND !!! November is coming, and not soon enough!

Doggett is not my representative and I am thankful for that. However, Doggett’s votes impact me greatly and I sincerely hope that the folks who have allowed him into Congress will show him the door.

The November 2 elections are the most important in our lifetime

KNOW YOUR CANDIDATES AND WORK FOR THEM!!! I’m concentrating my efforts in those areas presently held by liberal dems, congressional, state, county, judicial, plus my DA who was appointed and is now seeking election.

GET INVOLVED! NOW! Identify the Republicans and Independents who are receptive to your message. Try to help them, to get them engaged.

At a recent re-districting hearing, I saw a microcosym of congress. The dems in attendance were speaking up *loudly*, while many of the conservative Republicans present were sitting quietly. It was my sense that they were shy and were uncomfortable in the presence of raucous opposition. Well, this is no time for “manners.” I, and some others, were prepared and we testified. Did I feel like I was “swimming with sharks?” Absolutely! Guess what? I lived!

Thanks for your support, SJK. I don’t live in Dr. Campbell’s C.D., but I do volunteer work for her because she can be strong advocate for the values in which I believe.

Doug, David, Mike, Susan and Alicia : Check out Dr. Campbell’s website. She would really appreciate any extra help that people are willing to offer. This would be a HUGE win, but it will take a lot of effort.

Perhaps if our illustrious governor could take responsibility for his own messes instead of blaming Washington for everything that happens in the world we would not find ourselves in this mess. The true leaders who have been effective with their leadership have been able to work with both parties instead of alienating the other party. The governor of Texas has drawn his line in the sand so many times that he begged for this. It is time for him to follow his mentor into the sunset and let our country get back on the track to success for the citizens who make up this country. If he will check the Good Book he will find out that what one sowes one also reaps. He has sown division for his time in office and it is now harvest time. Prehaps the one that needs voted out of office is not Lloyd Doggett…..

As to “Christmas Tree” bills, I wonder if we will ever revert to a point where Congress stops this terrible practice of attaching earmarks to every piece of legislation. This is nothing new, but I am amazed that this is even allowed to occur.

To bunch together something that funds education and funds for war is simply ridiculous. How can you understand where your representative really stands? From some website? By a campaign speech? Yeah – that worked real well with Obama, didn’t it?

No, I would prefer to tell where a person stands by their voting record. But, with this “Christmas Tree” procedure, a vote against the war funds makes a ‘cold hearted bastard who hates your children”. Sure makes things confusing at the polls.

Radman ~ Thank you for the link. Dr. Campbell has a great site. I contributed, btw. We all need to help candidates like Dr. Campbell.

While supporting, and working for, candidates in our districts is vital, we mustn’t ignore candidates in other areas.

I just check my bank balance and shell out until I reach the point where I must wait for “my canoe to come in.”

WORK with in DEMON RAT code talk means bend over an grab YOUR ankles SUCKER.
Th e DEMON RATS are about ready to REAP what they have sown all across the country.
Thanks for a reinforcement of the mentality of the kool aid drinkers.

Ironically, the Texas Education Stated the school district in Doggett’s voting base (AISD) will loose $2.4 million under his ammendment. Chet Edwards, the other House Dem behind the ammendment, will cause his own school district (WACO) to loose $7.4 million. Oops!

My, My, My – Finally, we see the face of the Chairman of Texas’ Education. Florence, you should be ashamed of yourself for pretending that our kids have an above-par education system. Last time I checked we ranked 47th amongst the 50 states in student attainment. And did you see what SBOE did to Texas History and Civics textbooks? What part of your “values” system force you to provide us with such dreary educational results – year after year, decade after decade?

MY MY MY Santa Anna still trying to RULE Texas.
Anyone in Texas that WANTS to a great education can get it if the disruptive children that come from families which have NO respect for education were sent home to their parents UNTIL both parent and student learned RESPECT and the parent was required to spend their time sitting with the student in the classroom until it was proven.

Ditto, CW.

You can bring a horse to water, but you can’t make him drink.

CW Jensen, alicia – I pray God gives you 10 more years of life – long enough to see Tejanos become the majority in Texas.

If they’re conservatives, I don’t care.

Big difference between “conservatives” and “ultra-conservatives”.

Santa Anna:
Where I live in the RGV (commonly referred to as Northern Mexico we have a Majority of Hispanics.
Tejano’s if you are referring to the early definition which were people of Spanish decent that considered TEXAS as their home with no more loyalty to Mexico than Spain I would look forward to a population that was greater than the ILLEGALS that cross the border but remain MEXICANS.
As usual your myopic understanding of the immigration problem is unrealistic in any form of Conservationism.

Mr. SanAnto, please define what is an “ultra conservative.”

Perry needs to reaffirm our 10th amendment, the sooner the better!

TSA ~ Surely you recognize that many Hispanics share my “Conservative” values. Those are love of family, love of our country, desire for the government to stay out of the way so our children may succeed, or sometimes fail; but when met with failure, they’ll live in a climate that still offers the hope of success in a country that doesn’t burden their success with oppressive taxation and regulation.

I am canvassing for two Hispanic Republicans, Raul Torres and Gil Hernandez. They both began life at the bottom of the economic ladder. Raul put himself through college, is now a CPA and owns a small business. Gil put himself through college, became a US Naval officer, and is now a local executive for a prominent national corporation. They are also very honorable men and I am proud to stand with them and work for their election.

These two admirable men have achieved the “American Dream.” Isn’t that something we *all* want for ourselves, our children, and our grandchildren?

WHAT A WAKE-UP CALL: I fully support Sen. Shapiro’s letter and thank her for watching our backs. I hope that the actions taken by the two slugs in DC will become public knowledge and spread across Texas. This is such a great example of the crimes that are committed by those in DC when they are left on their own too long. But come Nov. 2nd I pray that these types will get voted out. They have obviously had their hands out too long and their pockets filled too often by special interests that they have become very brazen. This is a great example also of why we need to have term limits in DC. And it is very unfortunate that these two could walk away after being voted out with huge perks that they voted for themselves without our consent.
Thanks for great reporting and keeping us informed when liberal media is no longer to be trusted.

All you Perry bashers are going to end up with White as Governor and we will have our own little Obama in the Governors mansion, keep it up, we did so well with Obama.

I absolutely agree with you, Sonny. I’m voting for Perry. Period. He irks me from time to time, but most of those “representing” us juat make me mad as hell.

A third candidate gives Texas to White. …….And we think we have trouble now???

This is where I’d vote for a yellow dog to keep White out.

A must~~~Spanish (or Tex-Mex) as a second language in all Texas public Skools.

I thought it was interesting that one of the things included in this legislation was a new soldier processing center at Ft. Hood. I was stationed there three years ago and they had just completed the “new soldier” processing center complete with a coffee shop. So I guess Chet’s contracting buddies needed another job on our dime.
To the issue of education. Is anyone really surprised by Doggett’s actions?

CW Jensen is right San Anto. I am a teacher. The problems with public education are societal and no amount of money is going to change that.

Texas really needs to get over itself and its delusion of grandeur. You are a STATE, supposedly a part of U.S. You seem to hate the rest of U.S. with such angst and bluster ~ what IS your dysfunctional ego-problem?

Your land and waters are fouled by the oligarchs you kiss butt of 24/7.
Your people are poor in health and education.

Those are facts.

@mommadona – Is this the best you can do? I won’t stoop to your level and resort to name calling. Does Texas have problems? Sure we do. Are we arrogant . . . probably, but we have much to be arrogant about. Do most of the people that post on here have no idea of what they are talking about . . . sure. But, many of them realize the shell game that is and has been played with them for far to long.
The Federal Government wishes to take money from Texans and every other taxpayer through income taxes to pay for the State of New York to keep 7000 teachers at a cost of 600 million. That roughly about $85,000 dollars per job “saved”. How many public school teachers in the state of Texas do you think make that much? WHy should any citizen of any State have to flip the bill of any other State that refuses to make tough choices? Education is a State issue and therefore Texans should be very skeptical of any move by the Federal Government to control it. My school district gave every teacher a 3% pay raise this year by making the tough choices and eliminating over 20 administrative positions that were unnecessary or redundant. What are New York and California doing?
