I'm still smarting from...what? 2007? Defeated amnesty once. Took the dang Capitol switchboard down. Spent 5 days phoning, faxing, and e-mailing. No sooner did I sit back in my chair after we got it passed than I got called about the Texas Legislature and the Trans-Texas Corridor and I spent another 2 days phoning, faxing, and e-mailing. Got that passed. Phoned, faxed and e-mailed on the fence bill. Bush signed the fence bill and kinda threw the pen down he was so disgusted. Then Kay Bailey did a deal with the Border Mayors and got a bill passed real fast to gut it. Perry waited til the Texas Legislature went home and then vetoed most of the Trans-Texas bill only putting a 2-year moritorium on it. And then I'll be darned if they didn't submit ANOTHER amnesty bill. What part of "NO!" don't they understand?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14331244178779098768noreply@blogger.com
