Governor Perry is playing games with us again. If he is going to be a Presidential Candidate, then he needs to act like one. He’s telling us there is no time to place the Anti Groping bill HB41, the Senate Version is SB29, on the call in this special session and says it doesn’t have enough votes for it. Again he’s wrong! See below:
Fellow Patriots:
Incredibly disappointing! You will not believe your ears!! See this clip from New Orleans yesterday when a fellow Texan asks Gov. Perry about the TSA bill:
1. As Governor, he KNOWS he has the authority to call as many special sessions as he wants or needs in order to take care of the People's business. So his comment about running out of time is inaccurate. The defense of Liberty should not and cannot wait!
2. Only one of two things can be true regarding his comments about "not enough votes" -- 1) either he knows the truth and chooses to ignore the fact that Rep. Simpson and Senator Patrick now have enough votes for passage; 2) or he does not know the facts because he has not made it priority to know the facts. Governor Perry could get Simpson and Patrick on the phone today! Our Governor keeps talking about state sovereignty and the need to push back federal tyranny. Now he has a chance to show Texas (and the nation) that he really means it!
Let's get the troops calling and faxing Governor Perry first thing Monday morning. Politely, but firmly ask Governor Perry to stand for Liberty and against federal tyranny by adding the TSA anti-groping bill to this special session or to a second special session, if necessary.
(512) 463-2000 Main switchboard; alternative number: (512) 463-1782; Fax: (512) 463-1849
FACTS:
1. The TSA bill in the TX House is HB 41; in the Senate, it is SB 29 (this is the TSA anti-groping bill from the regular session refiled in both chambers).
2. This must be added by the Governor to the call for the special session OR the Governor can call another special session. It is in his power to do it. Period.
3. Per Representative David Simpson's updates: His bill (HB 41) has 112 coauthors in the House and can pass! Simpson has sent word to the Governor that he has the votes and has requested that Gov. Perry add it to the call.
4. Senator Dan Patrick's SB 29 has the votes to pass! He has sent a letter to Gov. Perry asking him to add it to the call.
5. Even Lt. Governor Dewhurst has reversed course and has asked the Gov. to add it to the special session call.
6. This is a fact - if Governor Rick Perry does not add the TSA anti-groping bill to the call of the special session OR call another special session to address this liberty issue, then Governor Perry's words about being "FED UP" with the federal government mean nothing! Governor Perry will have caved to tyranny by the Federal Government. There is NO other way to see this.
7. If Governor Perry will lead on this issue, it will quickly move through both chambers and will demonstrate he has the courage to stand up for us, for dignity, for Liberty and for the US Constitution! Anything less is unacceptable.
NOTE: Even if there were not enough votes to pass it; a principled defender of Liberty would be expected to add this issue to the special session call and let every Representative and every Senator be held accountable for his/her vote on the matter!

Texas may have created the most jobs of any State in the Union, but it was not because of Perry. It was because of Texas. We have the best State and we are the Oil Capitol of the Nation. Why hasn't Perry kicked the EPA out of Texas? Why hasn't he closed our boarders? Why hasn't he called the TSA bill to be a part of the special session? Theses are questions we must all look at before we support him as a Presidential Candidate. I think he is just another establishment part of the Republican Party.
I CAN SEE RICK NOW WITH HIS LITTLE BALANCE SCALE. HE IS TRYING TO FIGURE OUT IF HE WANTS TO TAKE ON BO OR THE TP AND THE FOLKS OF TEXAS. HE WORKS FOR US AND IT MIGHT BE WISE TO CONSIDER TAKING ON BO AND SUPPORTING THE WILL OF GRASSROOTS TEXANS BY CLOSING THE BORDERS, TAKING ON THE TSA, IMPROVING EDUCATION, STANDING UP TO SPEAKER STRAUSS, MAKING TEXAS ENERGY INDEPENDENT, RESHAPING THE POLITICAL PROCESS IN TEXAS, ENCOURAGING OUR CITIES AND COUNTIES TO CLEAN UP THEIR OWN POLITICAL CORRUPTION. RICK, WE CANNOT VOTE FOR YOU IF YOU WILL NOT STAND UP FOR US. GET IT DONE. JB

ReplyDeleteThank you for posting this. I'm disgusted by Perry's waffling on this.
