Patterson had damned well better explain his position on this issue, or he's lost my vote and that of every person that I can contact about it. Its bad enough that the friggin' UN is in NYC, but inviting those bastards to Texas is UNACCEPTABLE.

Unless, of course, Patterson owns a company which supplies blue helmets to the UN - because they're going to need a LOT of new ones.

Texas Official Tries To Rope In Rumors About U.N. Alamo Takeover

Land Commissioner Jerry Patterson: The "Alamo Will Not Go Under UN Control"

Alamo not being turned over to United Nations Patterson attempted once again to let Texans know that if the Alamo and the other Spanish missions in San Antonio are added to the UNESCO World Heritage List, the Alamo will remain entirely under the control of the state of Texas and the Texas General Land Office.

Responding to a media report that the UN flag will fly over the Alamo, Patterson responded bluntly: "Horse hockey."

Patterson reiterated that a World Heritage Nomination will not change authority, jurisdiction or ownership of the Alamo or any of the other Spanish missions.

Can’t believe anyone would vote for Patterson if for no other reason than he is an outspoken advocate of a greatly increased guest worker program. At one time our family did support him but after him speak twice on the “virtues” of such a program he lost us.

Still haven’t been able to find Abbott’s true position on immigration in Texas. Not a good sign for him.
