When was the last time you heard about a congresseman threatening to cut $3 million from his own district. Congressman Ortiz uses the federal trough to steer money to his family members, and he's upset that his brother no longer has his place at the trough.

The Robstown Mafia is starting to act nasty, now that they no longer have a lock on control of the Nueces County Commissioners Court after Republicans took control for the first time ever. Congressman Ortiz, who was first elected in 1982 is probably one of the ten least competent US Congresmen, is trying to set his son up to inherit his congressional seat.

He is a very competent member of the DNC.

His use of black mail proves it.

Sounds to me like Ortiz is a lot like William Jefferson.

The US House Of Lords needs to be cleaned out.

These people have declared themselves to be America’s Royalty on the taxpayers dime.

“When the people fear their government, there is tyranny; when the government fears the people, there is liberty.”
— Thomas Jefferson
