From Blue Ribbon Lobby Day Organizing Committee Great news! Last Thursday, the Texas House of Representatives passed HB 950--Rep. Senfronia Thompson's Lilly Ledbetter fair pay act for Texas--by a vote of 79-50. This bill would codify the Lilly Ledbetter Act under Texas law, providing uniformity between federal and state statute. Now it's time for the Texas Senate to take action. SB 248 by Sen. Wendy Davis--the senate version of HB 950--has already been voted out of committee. Here's the bad news: as of yesterday afternoon, only three Republican senators have come out in public support of SB 248. That's right--16 of the 19 Republican senators do not support the Lilly Ledbetter fair pay for Texas act. We need to call our senators starting today to ask them to support SB 248. If your senator is currently "uncommitted," he or she needs to hear from you immediately. The rules of the Texas Senate require a two-thirds vote (21 senators) in favor of bringing a bill up before they can take an official vote on the ...

Fifteen years prior, Ronald Reagan prefaced the 1981 California DoJ Crime Victims Handbook saying, “For most of the past thirty years … justice has been unreasonably tilted in favor of criminals and against their innocent victims … a tragic era … when victims were forgotten and crimes were ignored.”This “tragic era” of U.S. justice was working overtime March 1, at 8 p.m., at the Texas Senate, where Bill 208 was on the fast track for passage.

CSCOPE is a technology based time management curriculum that Argyle ISD has just adopted this year. You may be interested to know that mid way through the hearing Senator Patrick rightly concluded that “if CSCOPE was an airline, it would be grounded but because it’s in 875 plus schools (79% of all ISD’s and over 90% of the small ISD’s) it can’t be immediately unplugged.” So the question is, what are we as a community going to do about it? To the credit of the Argyle administration, Dr. Wright is holding an information meeting for the Argyle community.

Sen. Uresti draws four-year term AUSTIN — Sen. Carlos Uresti got a four-year term on Wednesday when members of the Texas Senate drew lots for new terms required by redistricting changes. "It was the luck of the draw, and I am delighted," Uresti said, attributing his good fortune to some visiting students from Real County who watched the drawing from the Senate Gallery. "In the political equivalent of a first-round bye, my term will extend until 2016. But I will continue to let the constituents of Senate District 19 know where I stand on the issues. Election or not, I will always be accountable to the voters." Texas senators usually serve in staggered terms, but everyone must run in the first election after redistricting. Wednesday's drawing reset the staggered terms until the next round of redistricting. In a random process, 15 senators drew four-year terms and 15 drew two-year terms. Senate Secretary Patsy Spaw drew for the late Sen. Mario Gallegos, whose successor in the upcoming special election will ...

something that I ran across recently posted by one of my Rotary friends-how do we confirm or deny this. Carlo Giraulo 14 hours ago Last month, the Senate Budget Committee reports that in fiscal year 2011, between food stamps, housing support, child care, Medicaid and other benefits, the average US household below the poverty line received $168 a day in government support. What’s the problem with that much support? Well, the median household income in America is just over $50,000, which averages out to $137.13 a day. To put it another way, being on welfare now pays the equivalent of $30 an hour for a 40-hour week, while the average job pays $25 an hour. And the person who works also has to pay taxes, which drops his pay to $21 an hour. It’s no wonder that welfare is now the biggest part of the budget, more than Social Security or defense. And why would anyone want to get off welfare when working pays $9 an hour less?

This is the letter I received today from my Republican U.S. Senator John Cornyn in which he states his support of genetically modified foods and food derived from cloned animals. *** Dear Mr. Longley: Thank you for contacting me regarding the production and distribution of genetically modified (GM) foods. I appreciate having the benefit of your comments on this matter. The United States enjoys the safest and most plentiful food supply in the world. Key to our successes are production and safety processes rooted in sound scientific practices. Among these practices, biotechnology has the potential to help keep U.S. agriculture at the world's forefront. As you know, food containing GM plant varieties is now commonplace. The Congressional Research Service estimates that nearly 70 percent of the U.S. food supply contains some form of GM crop variety—most notably corn and soy-based ingredients used in many processed foods. However, only one GM food product derived from animals has been approved to date. ...

Good Morning! Yesterday I wrote to all of you about The Valley Marine Sgt. Craig Pulsey, I love reporters of our day! I told you the facts as they were printed and told on the news, and this gets funny, this poor guy! Credible Reporters take their Jobs very seriously, they take the time to research, and have credible references to support their information, careers used to be ruined if they failed to report with complete honesty, then came the Enquirer, Star, what we laughingly call the rag mags, mostly read at check out stand. Some people believe everything they read in these magazines, and that is their right to do so! A lot of these stories sound very real, and nobody is saying any different. One of my favorite stories was when I walked up to a check out line in Albertsons, and caught the lead off " First Man to give Birth to Baby" Father and Child resting well! You always need a title that will catch a readers attention, but it also needs to grab their interest too! They caught my attention, bu ...

Senior Legal Analyst time has multiple stories; a federal judge denies access to information about drone strikes; a pizza king does not have to provide contraceptive care to employees under Obamacare and a Texas judge green lights approval to deny funding to Planned Parenthood. Guns are key to two topics today - in Colorado and Connecticut. The minimum wage and the economy get our attention as well and for both, I have good news!

Today, the Illinois Senate will vote on gun control, *** marriage and retirement resolutions. Here's hoping that the Republicans will have the common sense to at least vote "Yes" on *** marriage and pave the way for the party to bear the standard of individual liberty... or, more realistically, that the Democrats have enough votes, with a few Republicans, to make it state law.

I'm getting more and more concerned about pending gun control legislation. What are your thoughts?

It appears the Peolpes Republic of Illinois otherwise known as the Communist Party of Chicago, I mean Democratic Party of Chicago is proposing to pass some extremely stringent gun laws this week during their lame duck session. as we all know these extreme gun laws have worked so well in Chicago that even harsher ones should be imposed on the whole state. If memory serves me I just heard a report where they almost set a new record on murders there. If these laws pass I will be moving to a non communist state to live, I will no longer be able to stay here. Unfurtunately I know other people who will be doing the same thing and these people have jobs and pay taxes in this state, some are business owners and they will be moving their businesses as well. I hope these laws don't get enacted but I am tired of crooked Chicago politicians running this state.

Watching plethora of old white guys at the Senate swearing-in. Congress still doesn't come close to reflecting the diversity of this country.

Does watching Congress on C-SPAN waiting to see the house come to order and elect the speaker make me a nerd?

It can be done, but only by protecting the rights of law-abiding gun owners and reassuring them that their firearms won’t be confiscated.

Filing for the SD-6 special election closed on December 27, with a total of eight candidates vying to replace Sen. Mario Gallegos, who was posthumously elected on November 6 after having passed away on October 16.

I have watched as the news has reported that our house and senate have avoided the fiscal cliff. We as Americans should be so happy that they gave up there Christmas break and Obama gave up his vacation to do the job that they were elected to do. ALL of our taxes are going up well all of us that work for a living. Obama left for his vacation BEFORE he signed this joke of a bill, but that is ok because he can use an auto pen or the bill can be flown to Hawaii for his signature. They took 3 minutes to read a bill that was 159 pages, speed readers in the government wow. As far as the bill they refused to bring to the floor for a vote, on the financial help that the people on the East coast need to rebuild after the hurricane it was so loaded with pork that did not pertain to the rebuild it could not be voted on. What is it going to take before the American people say ENOUGH and put a stop to all of the fools in Washington? I was watching a program on the History channel about the Pharaohs in Egypt and the .. ...

Since Illinois poiliticians only respond to money and most are funded by Illinois businesses let me propose this. If the the gun ban confiscation law passes the House and Senate on Friday and Governor Quinn signs it into law the we stop supporting Illinois businesses as much as possible. Save up your money and once a month take a trip to Iowa, Missouri, Indiana, Kentucky, Arkansas and buy your groceries there. Take along some gas cans and get some extra gas too. I know everyone won't do this but if enough do then we will send a message to the Chambers of Commerce that we don't care for have our Constitutional rights stamped on and we've taken enough. If you can't afford to move out of this socialist state it's the next best thing. We don't HAVE to spend money here or support Illinois' tax base outside of property tax. Let's have our own TEA PARTY (not the political party) revolution. A real TEA PARTY not affiliated with any existing party. Free thinkers who demand the governments power must come ...

Posted on Thursday, April 14, 2011 2:59:44 AM by 2ndDivisionVet The Dallas Blog has just received an e-mail from a reliable source in Texas, who said he received an interesting e-mail from a U.S. Naval officer, who obtained a fascinating letter from an I.R.S. examiner who contends that Mr. Obama’s real name is Barry Soetoro, according to alleged Top-Secret tax records. My reliable Texas source explained that he’s not certain if it’s true, but the letter also provides a link to Obama or Soetoro’s selective service registration information, which looks highly-suspicious. Well, let the fun start and see if these allegations are true. Here’s a copy-and-paste of the letter from the IRS examiner: Trump is right, Barry Soetoro, AKA Obama is hiding what appears to be a criminal past. Trump is correct, Barry Soetoro, AKA Obama is hiding something in his past that is very bad... and it may not be his citizenship. (Trump would not say this if he did not know something and he has the money to get the dirt.. ...

Today in History -- Thursday, Jan. 3 (Sir George Martin, Stephen Stills, John Paul Jones, Victoria Principal, Danica McKellar, Eli Manning) The Associated Press Today is Thursday, Jan. 3, the third day of 2013. There are 362 days left in the year. Today's Highlight in History: On Jan. 3, 1938, the March of Dimes campaign to fight polio was established by President Franklin D. Roosevelt, who himself had been afflicted with the crippling disease. On this date: In 1521, Martin Luther was excommunicated from the Roman Catholic Church by Pope Leo X. In 1777, Gen. George Washington's army routed the British in the Battle of Princeton, N.J. In 1861, more than two weeks before Georgia seceded from the Union, the state militia seized Fort Pulaski at the order of Gov. Joseph E. Brown. The Delaware House and Senate voted to oppose secession from the Union. In 1868, the Meiji Restoration re-established the authority of Japan's emperor and heralded the fall of the military rulers known as shoguns. In 1911, the first p ...

Vote Today: Boehner Rejected? (Breitbart) – The Speaker of the House will be elected today and some conservatives believe they have the votes necessary to oust John Boehner. In an appearance on CNBC, American Majority Action spokesman Ron Meyer said there are more than 20 House Republicans willing to vote for someone other than Boehner on Thursday when the 113th Congress convenes to elect a Speaker. Another source from a different organization has similarly confirmed that more than 20 have planned to oppose Boehner. Meyer and AMA correctly predicted Republican opposition to Boehner’s fiscal cliff “Plan B” and the overwhelming House Republican opposition to Vice President Joe Biden’s and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell’s fiscal cliff deal that passed the House on Tuesday evening. SPECIAL: Join the Tea Party REVOLUTION! Tell Washington “The Tea Party is Coming!” Outgoing Louisiana Republican Rep. Jeff Landry made a similar prediction earlier in the evening, telling Breitbart News that ...

On this day in 1884, Andrew Jackson Dorn lost his bid to become a congressional assistant doorkeeper. Dorn had served in a volunteer company in the Mexican War and afterward in the regular army. Although he claimed to have achieved the rank of colonel and to have remained in the U.S. Army until the outbreak of the Civil War, he was in fact mustered out of federal service in 1848. He did serve with the Confederate military, and after the war moved to Bonham, Texas. In 1873, he was nominated as the Democratic candidate for Texas state treasurer. Dorn was elected on Richard Coke's ticket, but when he appointed his son as chief clerk of the treasury, the Herald attacked him for nepotism, "one of the most odious of all political abuses." Dorn was reelected in 1876 and remained in office until 1879. In 1883, unemployed, he went to Washington, D.C., seeking Samuel Bell Maxey's aid in finding a government job. "He is the most helpless man I know," wrote Maxey of Dorn, "an honorable, good man but a fearfully and w ...

Texas Day-by-Day | December 21, 2012 Governor Wood takes office December 21, 1847 On this day in 1847, George Tyler Wood took office as the second governor of the state of Texas. The Georgia native had fought in the Creek Indian War at the battle of Horseshoe Bend, where he met Sam Houston and Edward Burleson. He moved to Texas in February 1839 and settled on the Trinity River. Wood served in the Texas Senate in 1846 and fought in the Mexican War. He was elected governor in 1847

if a disabled person covered under ADA sued for human/Civil Rights violations... as TSA Corporation... they would end up covering the costs of suing themselves

So I saw on a post earlier that Governor Rick Perry and the Texas Senate has filed to start DRUG TESTING anyone on government assistance. What do y'all think?

Over 250 bills were introduced in the Texas senate Monday and Senate Bill 11 came up, a bill requiring welfare applicants to undergo drug testing. If applicants fail the test, they would not be eligible to apply again for a full year, unless they attended a substance abuse treatment program. The bill was written by state Sen. Jane Nelson, R-Flower Mound. "This will help prevent tax dollars from going into the pockets of drug abusers," Gov. Rick Perry said Tuesday. He said that the goal of the bill is to "empower every Texan to reach their potential," because "being on drugs makes it harder to begin the journey to independence. We owe it to all Texans to structure our welfare and unemployment programs in a way that guarantees that recipients are serious about getting back to work." Some critics of the bill say the bill will harm innocent children where if an applicant fails a drug test, they have to be reported to Child protective services. Terri Burke, executive director of the American Civil Liberties Un ...

This Texas Bill is awesome.I hope it is approved and other states follow suit..

Lmao. They're trying to pass a law in Texas that would make it illegal for people to sexually assault you. But wait, why was it legal in the first place? Jez!

...very interesting; the Federales are going against a commerce incentive with the threat of a blockade--probably against free trade...

oh my goodness, Im actually cheering for Texas!

America just say no to Air Travel if there is a TSA

The bill’s reintroduction now sets the stage for a repeat of last year’s battle between Texas the federal government which eventually saw the feds resort to egregious threats of imposing a blockade over the state in order to sink the legislation. The TSA and the Department of Justice resorted to financial terrorism by threatening a federal blockade that would have closed down Texas airports if the Texas Senate had followed the House in unanimously passing a bill that would have made TSA groping in the state a felony. The threats prompted protesters, led by Alex Jones, to peaceably storm the Capitol in Austin. In a letter sent to Texas lawmakers, including to Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst, Speaker Joe Straus, the House Clerk, and the Senate Secretary, U.S. Attorney John E. Murphy threatened to cripple the airline industry in the state if legislators did not back down. “If HR [sic] 1937 were enacted, the federal government would likely seek an emergency stay of the statute,” Murphy wrote. “Unless or unt ...

US Presidents and Election Fraud Many people, even after the 1876 Hayes vs. Tilden and Florida 2000 Bush vs. Gore elections, still believed that election fraud was a relatively rare event in the USA, especially as regards presidents, and exerted a relatively small effect on history. That perception is false. In fact, election fraud has exerted a very large effect on US (and hence world) history. Indeed, it has been one of the largest factors affecting post-World-War-II US history. John F. Kennedy: Kennedy's election in 1960 over Nixon involved heavy fraud in Illinois and Texas. (If Nixon had won those two states, he would have won the presidency.) As examples of ballot box stuffing: In Texas's Angelina County, in one precinct, only 86 people voted yet the final tally was 147 for Kennedy, 24 for Nixon; in Fannin County the 4895 registered voters cast 6138 votes (75% for Kennedy). Discarded spoiled ballots were to be placed by Texas law in "ballot box 4" for later re-examination, but many counties (e.g. For ...

Ted Cruz is an anti-establishment senator-elect from Texas with a résumé any establishment candidate would covet.

Now that the 2012 Texas Election is over, you might be wondering how many Republicans and Democrats there are in the Texas House, Texas Senate, Texas U.S. Congress, and Texas U.S. Senate.

Mario Gallegos, D-Houston, got his dying wish when his choice to succeed him announced her intention to seek the seat he held since 1994. State Rep. Carol Alvarado, who was re-elected to her House seat without opposition Tuesday, a...

During the primary season, Adelson's $16.5 million in contributions to the super PAC Winning Our Future was not enough guide former House Majority Leader Newt Gingrich to a Republican presidential nomination, though it is credited with keeping him in the race longer than expected. Nor were Adelson's contributions enough to help Texas Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst win the GOP primary for Texas Senate earlier this year, a cause to which gave at least a quarter-million dollars.

Tea-Party-backed Republican Ted Cruz has won the Texas Senate seat, making him the third Hispanic member of the Senate. Three more Democrats have won re-election: Sens. Debbie Stabenow of Michigan, Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota and Kirsten Gillibrand of New York. Republican Sens. John Barrasso of Wyoming and Roger Wicker in Mississippi also have won new terms. Seven other Democrats have won Senate seats, including Rep. Chris Murphy in Connecticut and incumbent Sens. Joe Manchin in West Virginia and Bob Menendez in New Jersey. Fighting for control of the Senate, each party had locked up 40 seats as of 9:30 p.m. Eastern Time, and Republicans 41 seats, including the 67 seats not up this election. Democrats now enjoy a 53-seat majority, including two independents who align with them.

This *** Neither Andrew Horning (my first choice) nor Richard Mourdock (my second choice) will be joining the Indiana Senate in 2013. It's unlikely that Richard Mourdock will overtake Joe Donnelly. Also, Rep. Connie Mack is projected to lose the Florida Senate race. At least Ted Cruz will most likely win the Texas Senate race.

It'sbeen now 4 days that we released documents that show that Senator Hinojosa illegally took state reimbursements and broke the law. The local news media continues to cover up the story to save the Senator the election. We have filed a complaint with the Texas Ethics Commission and requested they investigate this matter. Why? Are they afraid of something we don't know yet? Or something else? Nobody should be above the law. Not even a State Senator.

In my Oppinion. I woke up this morning. And like a lot of Texas Veterans that spent some of our younger years answering the call of our country. The class of 65 sent the highest number of graduates to Vietnam. Than any other class. After my second cup of coffee I picked up my newspaper. Then after grabbing my back(it did not fair well in Nam)I thought about one thing. Next week is Veterans Day. Chris Turner in his first term in office. Introduced and fought for a lottery ticket for Veterans. When he was runnning we talked about it. In the Senate Wendy Davis fought for its passage. After Chris took a two year vacation from our house .the GOP tryed to take it away or at least part of it. Wendy Davis stood up and flatly said no. This program has raised millions for my comraded in arms. I along with the rest of the people that gave this country. Alittle more than you really wanted to lose would like to thank both of them. Wendy is a stellar in the Texas Senate, and hopefully our next govenor. Chris was voted ...
