They’re not dumb, just playing the word game the same way they play the poll games with rigged questions.

This is the stuff that needs to go on now and in full force on all key issues.

The states have to take back their freedoms and protect their freedoms from the tyranny in DC.

Let’s overwhelm them and let the best state win...so we all know where we need to move to.

Bingo, all you have to do is read the headline to immediately see the bias in this article. I’m sick and tired of these bills being labeled ‘anti-immigrant’. Immigrants are welcome to come to my state, so long as they do it legally and obey the law. These bills are ‘anti-illegal alien’.

“....the strict truth is we haven’t yet had a Civil War..”

...strictly speaking, that’s true...we’ve had three wars of secession and partition...1776/1835/1861...in a true civil war, two or more factions are fighting to seize control of a government...in our cases nobody wanted to seize London, Mexico City or Washington...they were trying to get away from them

If the Feds won’t then it is the states responsibility to do so.

The cost of a special session would be ridiculous.

January isn’t too far away.

Special Sessions are very expensive. With Regular Session coming Jan. 1. and current financial situations, as a citizen and taxpayer in Texas, I say we can be patient for a few more months.

This Jan. Session also will have our local Rep. Leo Berman introducing a bill requiring anyone wanting on the ballot to show us the BC proving “Natural Born Citizen”.

Patience grasshopper...;-)

If Debbie Riddle is smart, and she is, she’ll get with a few of her compadres (they do it all the time, when they are not in session) and draft up this bill...

They’ll have it ready to file when the 2011 session is called...

They’ll have this bill and just as important the Texas Healthcare Protection Act ready to go as well...

I’ve seen this one...In draft form...And what took 2400 pages of Federal gobbledy goop, will be undone with less that two pages of Texas legislation...

We thought the Voter ID bill was a fight...Y’all standby, be ready for the Rumble in the Jungle 2.0 in January 2011...

What we need to make sure happens is not to lose the majority in the state house...We have a narrowing gap that is critical to maintain if not widen in November...We lose the majority, you can forget any of this...

Besides, calling a special session is too expensive...It would be better to let them hash this out in the regular session...

We also need to find a legislooter to submit a bill for “Constitutional Carry”. I’d settle for open carry, but we might as well push for what we really want.

2 pages—now that’s efficient!

Okay, I’ll TRY to be patient. I just can’t wait for November to get here! :-) I’m beyond ready for CHANGE and HOPE in a true, free America!

I have it on my computer here, but I was asked to not release it out into the blogosphere until they actually file it...

This thing has fangs...Not just teeth...

I think it’ll be even bigger than the illegal immigration bill Riddle is going to file...
