go to a vote of the people of this state.


I've stated this a couple of times over the last 2 weeks and have gotten NO response. Proponents of these roads don't won't a vote because they will probably lose. All they see is dollar signs and growth potential. They are not concern about the 'average Mom and Pop' in Texas and the effect this will have on the environment and resource depletion of this state, not to mention, the cultural aspects. Capitalism is one thing, Rape is another thing all together


I heard a pro-TTC commercial on the radio today. The best part was how it would be a vital hurricane evacuation route. Too bad it doesn't run to the coast. Sounds to me like they're hearing the protest but, they're NOT listening which, is the problem with all Gov. these days.

"Too bad it doesn't run to the coast."
Wow. Ignorance is bliss. Here is a link. Houston does seem to be on the coast!

Here is an interactive map. A person can smartly turn off different sections. Did you know that Louisiana and Arkansas are also involved? Missisippi is even involved! D@mn that Rick Perry. He even hoodwinked the people in eight other states.

"Meanwhile, in Mississippi, 12 miles of Interstate 69 will open to traffic at 2 p.m. today connecting Tunica County with Interstate 55 in the northwestern portion of the state. The Commercial Appeal also reports that construction work on Mississippi's portion of the Memphis Outer Beltway (I-269) is expected to begin in the next three years."

On Sept 30th, there was a 40 county demonstration against the toll road and it was called "Hands Across the Toll Road". Nobody showed up. A 100 in San Antonio. 20 in Hillsboro. 6 in Greenville.

After the fact, it came to light that the rallies during the town hall meetings over the past year were nothing more than Grandma's traveling campaign circus.

Whatever the public opposition to TTC, it is nothing compared to the opposition to any alternative that no one wants to mention.

Let the voter decide. Does he want the TTC or another $1.50 in gas tax to build the road?
