Title: Help fight Texas voter suppression bill...
Texan for Gore - March 19, 2009 03:08 PM (GMT)
Al001, I don't know if you receive these emails, but I just thought I would post it, just in case. Is it no wonder the Repugs continue their efforts to suppress the vote? :angry:
Dear fellow Democrat,
Your action is urgently needed. Today, Texas Senate Republicans finalized their assault on our voting rights, approving the voter suppression bill, SB 362 by Sen. Troy Fraser, and sending it to our Texas House for consideration. If made law, this legislation will disenfranchise countless Texans.
Now is your crucial chance to speak out against a bad bill for all Texans:
Speaker Joe Straus has the power to decide if SB 362 is considered before the full House or dies in Committee. Call Speaker Straus' office and tell him to reject this bill and focus the House's efforts on real priorities, like fully funding our public schools, reining in college tuition costs and giving Texans real relief on skyrocketing insurance and utility rates.
Before the full House considers SB 362, the House Committee on Elections needs to approve it. Call the Chairman of the Elections Committee, Rep. Todd Smith, and ask him to oppose SB 362. Share the facts about how this bill will make it harder for all Texans to vote, while doing nothing to solve voter fraud.

This doesn't surprise us Tex. Some years back Texas Democrats had to leave the state over the actions of Republicans there!
Here's what to do, if things get really bad, you can all move up here to Oklahoma, and we will just give Texas to the MEXICANS!
Then the Texas GOP can have the BANANA REPUBLIC they always DREAMED ABOUT!!!
