Chasing or Wearing??

[Arthur Wildfire! March]

Great idea for the male republicans. Mail them panties, huh? Heheheh! As for any female republicans, hm....

[HoustonCurmudgeon]

Given that 92.3% of the conservatives in the state are pushing HB 3 and 2, don't expect much support.

[Arthur Wildfire! March]

Send the female republicans a jockstrap with the message: "Get a pair".

[Rightly Biased]

Its gonna take a lot of panties to make a difference.

My Rino Keumpel voted for a tax increase imagine that? So did 2nd amendment sister Hupp....Hmmmm

Odd.

Quite frankly I want my $5.4 bil in property tax relief.

[NY-YANK]

So are the yellow panties from Walmart "Made in U.S.A."?

[Arthur Wildfire! March]

I think I'll go with the Jock Strap. The "Get a Pair Petition". Men, women, gender neutral.

[WestCoastGal]

Thanks for the list.

CK It's time to rid the state of these people FReep time. Let them feel the heat. They didn't increase the tax on their favorite drink - wine/etc but bottled water=yes! Now they have made a California girl mad, messing with my water.

PING

BTW, we just did something like this by sending PINK panties to a Nascar drivers crew chief for being and acting/fighting like a "girlie man". They all need to stop wasting money and STOP taxing all of us.

I've watched the Texas Legislature for many years. They are pushing this tax bill and the monkeys are all ready to follow each other over the cliff. The current crop in Austin are slapping us Texas business owners in the face. This bill is very very anti-business. I' not sure which is dumber, the govenors highway to hell (Trans-Texas Corridor) or this stupid tax bill that actually has a section the defines "snack foods" to be taxed (Section 164.001). I dubbed this legislation the "Bidness & Candy Bar Tax Law". Better yet, since it's purpose is to "slim down" and fleece Texas businesses once again and tax "junk food" I dub it " Operation Fata$$".

The text of the bill is here.

It's simply a bunch of new taxes. And, another income tax just like the so-called corporate franchise tax is that was passed a few sessions back. The Texas Constitution prohibits an income tax unless it's approved by in a statewide referendum . See here.

The hook on all of this is more of the "for the children" pablem we hear so often. That this is for "education". Well, it's not. I called the bill sponsors office, James L. "Jim" Keffer" (512-463-0656) and talked to Tori Lange (she was very nice). All the money gets dumped into the general revenue fund. None of it is in any way shape or form specifically earmarked for education.

By the way, if you want to call someone in the Legislature go here. Don't just call and talk to whoever answers the telephone, ask for a specific staff member.

Don't get me wrong, I don't mind paying taxes. But until the state of Texas ejects every illegal mooching off of my hard work fromm this state and send them back to where they came from I'm going to be very negative to them raising more money from me to give away to people I should not be supporting.

KILL THE TEXAS FATA$$ TAX!!!!

[MeekOneGOP]

Interesting idea.

Texas Freepers a Call to Arms! The Panty Brigade

Excerpt:

73 Pantywaisted Texas House members voted to approve HB3 on Monday night, March 13. HB3 hits small businesses and regular citizens with new and increased taxes The Republicans have charge of the Texas Legislature for the first time in a century and they voted for a HUGE NEW tax!! What are they thinking??!!

I am asking all citizens to send the Republicans (and Dems too if you want) who voted for the tax a pair of PANTIES since they proved they are sissies! (You can buy a yellow pair at Walmart for 88 cents.) Send the panties to as many BAD House members that you can afford to.

All House members (especially Republicans who voted for the tax) deserve the panties!! Let them know you think they wimped out by sending them a new selection of underwear!!! REMEMBER, THESE PEOPLE GET THE PANTIES!!!

Sounds like ol' Darrell spends a little time shopping the ladies department...... lol.

[Leatherneck_MT]

I like this idea

Maybe we can do this on a National Level to get our representatives in the Senate to live up to their Constitutional Duties and Confirm in a straight up vote, GWB's Judicial Noms.

Looks like I picked a bad day to sell my house then start smoking, eating junk food and starting a business in Texas.

[native texan]

I have a call in to Fred Brown. I called his office and was talking to the receptionist, in the conversation I told her I really would like to talk to him...she said he would call as soon as he gets out of a meeting. We shall see....
