Texas legislative action ping.
Topics: Rainy Day Fund, toll roads, privacy for Tea Party donors....
Who are the authors/sponsors of these bills? Anyone know? SB 346 is downright Orwellian.
Sen Kel Selinger (Rino - Amarillo)
Sen Charlie Geren (Rino - Fort Worth)
Thanks for the ping, Windflier!
Passed both the house and senate and sent to gov for signature:
2013-05-14 - SB 346Third Reading House (Y: 95 N: 52 NV: 1 Abs: 2) [PASS]

Good gosh...this cr@pola should’ve NEVER passed. Too many RINO’s in our state legislature!!
” - - - This obligation applies unless the group of persons is “labor organization or any subordinate entity or associated account of a labor organization,” in which case there is no obligation to turn supporters’ identities over. - - -”
Senator Karl Seliger must be making good on his campaign help from Commie Labor Unions.
BTW, the USSR and now Obamanation maintains that everyone is equal, but some such as members of Labor Organizations are more equal than others.
Calling now.
You bet, Jane. Sorry for the short notice, but I just got this in email.
Thank you, Manic.
Thanks for the ping!
You bet, AG!
So, if Perry didn't veto it on Friday, is it now law? Someone please help me out with this. Thanks.
I don't have any up to the minute info, Jane. I'll check the Lone Star Tea Party site to see if anyone posted an update.
The bill was sent to the Gov. prior to the last 10 days of the session. The Gov. has 10 to sign, veto or it becomes law without his signature. Friday was the last day of the 10. So it became law if it wasn’t vetoed but with the weekend, holiday, etc. it maybe hard to find anything out official until Tuesday.

These are all Bills signed by the Guv, to date. I don't see this one (SB 346) listed. Praying this list is up to date (as it looks) and that this Bill did not get signed. Keep me posted if you get confirmation. Thanks.
Sorry about the link...not sure how to make it clickable.
If you use no other html codes within your post then the link will automatically be click-able like below. But if you use any other html codes then you'll have to use the html code which can be found and practiced at the following FR thread.
Your success:
Your calls, e-mails, faxes, FB messages and Tweets are working! With the help of a contingent of about 25 House members, we were able to slow things down yesterday. The goal is to run out the clock on the session before the budget is adopted. This will trigger the Governor's call for a special session on the 2014-2015 budget. We will have a better chance to cut spending in a special session.
The Next Step - Again bombard your State Rep & State Senator & the Governor.
The special interest lobbyists are crawling all over the Capitol and the establishment moderates are arm-twisting your elected officials. You must make your voice heard today or the liberals & special interests will win!
Legislature is in session over the weekend & through Monday. Please call, Tweet and/or FaceBook message your State Rep. & your State Senator again now with a direct message that covers these points:
Stop the spending in the current budget. Slow it down. Vote it down. Say NO to HB 1025 (raid on Rainy Day Fund) and NO to SB 1 (Budget)As a voter in your district, I DO NOT support this budget because a 26% increase in spending is outrageous. Spending $22 Billion more this session than last is an insult to hard-working Texans! We are tired of big government.
To find your state representative's phone number, click here.
To find your state Senator's phone number, click here.
Call Gov. Perry’s comment line and tell him you don't support the bloated budget. Ask him to veto HB 1025 and the budget if it passes & call a special session to cut spending!
Governor's open comment line: 1-800-8HELP TX or 1-800-843-5789.
If you follow Rick Perry on Twitter or are a FB friend of his, post your message now!
Here is a picture of the outrageous spending stats we sent yesterday. This is from Texas Public Policy Foundation:
