The Great State of Texas can withstand Kinky as Governor. He's got some good ideas & some bad ideas but he is NOT beholding to the Big insurance lobby or foreign investors who want to grab land for toll roads in Texas. He is also serious about defending the Texas border which is about as basic as it gets...
"We've waited 153 years for the feds to help us," Friedman said. "They haven't yet. We have our own army. I want 10,000 Texas National Guard troops on the border and I want them now."

Kinky Friedman today said he supports the legislation passed Monday by the Senate Judiciary Committee, which includes the legalization of the country’s 11 million illegal immigrants who hold jobs, pass background checks, and pay fines and taxes.
Friedman also supports the expansion of the guest worker program, which would allow approximately 400,000 new guest workers per year. Friedman has been calling for a Bracero-sized program since he first announced his candidacy for governor in February 2005.
