Anti-Integrity Democrats Lose And Voters Win – Voter ID Bill Hits The Texas House

In 2009 the Republicans tried to ensure the integrity of the ballet box, but true to form, the anti-integrity Democrats in the Texas House did what they do best when they are losing – They stalled the debate to ensure the bill would not pass and they could still cheat at the ballot box.

May 24th 2009, The Houston Chronicle had a story titled “Voter ID Bill Puts House At Impasse.” The Democrats, being true to their personal anti-integrity beliefs, used scare tactics like saying that this “legislation will deny ballots to many minorities and elderly voters.”

We all know this was a lie but in the end they used this lie to justify there fight to leave the ballot box open to anyone, whether they are legal voters or not.

The Chronicle reported at the time -

For two days — to keep the voter ID bill from coming up for debate— they have slowed the House process by dragging out a calendar of local and uncontested bills that normally could be completed in 90 minutes or less.

Time we have stripped the power out of the hands of the anti-integrity Democrats, and have giving the power to lead to the Republicans. In the Texas House we currently have 101 freedom loving Republicans and 49 anti-integrity Democrats.

The Texas Tribune is reporting that the Calendar Committee has voted to send the Voter ID bill to the House for debate on Monday March 21st 2011.

The House Calendars Committee voted this evening to place the voter ID bill, SB 14, on the House calendar for Monday. Gov. Rick Perry declared the item an emergency issue just days after the Texas Legislature gaveled in two months ago.

House members always have the option of suspending calendar rules to take up the matter before next week, but committee chairman Rep. Todd Hunter, R-Corpus Christi, said he didn’t think that would happen.

The measure would require voters to present photo identification — like a driver’s license — at the polls in order to cast a ballot.

We have given the power to lead to the Republican, and they have the overwhelming numbers to pass this legislation. I certainly hope and expect that there will be little opposition to this bill and we will finely see the fruits of our labors by passing good conservative legislation.

Contact your State Representatives and be sure they understand that “we the people” are watching and taking notes. All those who work against the people will be run out of town during the next Republican Primary.

    Those who share George Orwell’s concerns about Big Brother can forget the black helicopters and start worrying about the drones. Those Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) to which the U.S. military in Afghanistan has shifted so much of its intelligence-gathering duties have become popular with domestic law enforcement agencies as well. And therein lies the potential problem. An Air Force intelligence brief has recently surfaced which holds that should UAVs incidentally capture surveillance video of Americans, the data can be stored and analyzed by the Pentagon for up to 90 days:

    Texas Rated Number One For Business – California Comes In Dead Last

    As a Business Development consultant called on by CEOs around the nation to help them grow their business in tough times and good ones for decades now, one of the privileges I have is to live in the family and business friendly State of Texas. Years ago after a successful career at Microsoft and 9 other corporations, our family decided to take time to move from Washington State to a place of our choosing. We spent two years looking at several States close to the water with warmer climates like Hawaii, Florida and California. One day our research showed Texas as a possible great place to check out.

    By God’s Grace, we discovered Houston, TX and after just a few days here, we fell in love with the friendliest large city in the nation. In my years of traveling for IBM, I had the blessing of working at several large cities around the nation.

    The Fruits Of Socialism And Capitalism

    Hugo Chavez recently blamed his country’s economic woes on “unfettered” capitalism. In the same breath he said that if a particular industry could not deliver its goods and services to the consumer at the prices set by the socialistic government of Venezuela that he would nationalize that industry.

    The absurdity of these conflicting notions becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy in the hands of a “compassionate” dictator.

    Beneath the velvet glove of a “compassionate” dictator, lies the mailed fist of a tyrant. When we leave the corporal works of mercy to the government we will be enslaved rather than free, and we will be made poor rather than prosperous, and our souls will be made sick.

    You can see what the Socialists really have in mind for us through the glimpses

    The new highway bill recently passed by the U.S. Senate, the Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act or MAP21, has come under some criticism, in part because of a provision that would give the IRS power to strip American citizens of their U.S. passports if they own the federal government enough money. Another provision of S.1813 also has civil liberties implications, particularly for motorists. If the Senate’s version of the legislation survives the reconciliation process with the House,

    love today’s article in American Thinker by Lloyd Marcus; he is a Black, conservative patriot. I am a White, conservative patriot; and I am having the same troubling thoughts as Marcus is having. What can I do to stem the tide of racial division that Obama and his crowd are stirring up and promoting in this country?
