A good idea. Asset forfeiture is an open invitation to fraud and oppression. I have no objection to asset forfeiture if the police agency proves beyond reasonable doubt that the item of property was used in or resulted from the commission of a crime.

I remember telling a couple of Texas legislators to do this during the campaign by email. Every state needs to do this.

We should get someone here with legal knowledge to put together a petition and send it to governor Abbot-I’d be happy to turn my neighbors, employer, and friends on to it-people out here don’t want gov fingers in anything that is private business, for any reason...

I bet Abbott would be happy to sign it if Joe Straus doesn’t stop it in the State House

Strauss needs to be booted. He's a thorn in conservative sides.
Who can primary that liberal?

See post number 6.
Who can primary Strauss? He needs to go the same way as Dewhurst.

To: GeronL
There has got to be some way that Strauss can be made to STFU and go away-I don’t even understand why he is still in that position-no one I know even thinks the guy is playing with a full deck, much less that he is competent...

Hard to believe that unholy alliance is so strong in state politics-I’ve not met anyone who isn’t a rabid anti-rino here, but maybe it is different in the cities.

It is the question that needs answered. And then that person that can primary Strauss needs support on the ground. And $$s.
I ran the Boot Dewhurst ping list here on FR, but someone else will need to run the Boot Strauss ping list on FR.
I'm still looking for volunteers.

Reps in the state legislature voting status quo does not surprise me

We need someone like Cruz to back a strong contender to Strauss the Louse.

Hurrah for NM!Amen!
It is time to use NM as a guide, and for Texas to follow in their footsteps.
