“All other states were empowered to provide funding to their schools based on their own funding formula. You, on the other hand, mandated that Texas use a distribution system that focuses on only some schools. In addition, since the Texas Legislature determines appropriations, complying with your provisions would trample the Texas Constitution.”
– State Senator Florence Shapiro in her Letter to Congressman Lloyd Doggett

I HOPE Senator Sharpio is SERIOUS and NOT just posturing.
I hope to see the same sort of INDIGNATION over things like border security, spending cuts in Texas government and mostly a voter ID card.
If she is really serious about TEXAS she needs to start providing some REAL CONSERVATIVE leadership like Senator Nelson.

We may have to make our great state a Republic Nation but will our wimpy Governoe be on board with that if there comes the time that we have to do that?
