There are pics on #4 of the 11 Democrat obstructors, and the ONE that stayed.
Perhaps the 11 obstructors would enjoy hearing from Freeper constituents ??

Please let me know if you want ON or OFF my Texas ping list!. . .don't be shy.
No, you don't HAVE to be a Texan to get on this list!

Can the second special session operate with less than 2/3 majorities in both houses? Why can't the rules of each chamber be adjusted -- just declare the members absent willfully and proceed anyway? Years ago "Czar" Thomas Reed, R-ME, as Speaker of the U.S. House did something similar when a group of recalcitrant Democrats refused to answer roll call. Reed merely declared the silent Democrats present. Well, Speaker Craddick and Lt. Governor Dewhurst could declare the absent Democrats as AWOL and proceed. Otherwise, I don't see any way around the Democrat tricks. The Democrats are shrewd, and they think thaat they have TX public opinion on their side.
