PACK THE HOUSE GALLERY ON FRIDAY -- Austin State Capital
Texas GOP | 5-15-2003 | Bill Fairbrother, Chairman of Williamson Cnty Republican Party

Posted on 05/15/2003 1:20:13 PM PDT by buffyt

From: "Bill Fairbrother" To: Sent: Thursday, May 15, 2003 11:49 AM Subject: Pack the Gallery on Friday!!!

The Democrats who fled out of state rather than conduct the people's business in Austin are said to be returning tomorrow. We need to deny their supporters exclusive access to the House gallery.

Everyone who can is encouraged to be at the capitol by 8:00am to grab a seat. If you need a ride, please let me know and I will see what I can do. Please forward this to your Republican friends who may be in the Austin area, or who could arrange to be in the area tomorrow.

Thanks, Bill Fairbrother

Bill Fairbrother Chair, Williamson County Republican Party 512-246-7045 2915 Pioneer Way Round Rock, TX 78664 bill.fairbrother@gopusa.com

This is going out to Republican Women also. Wear a red dress or jacket if you go.

I won't go alone. But our County Chairman is one of my best friends, and she is the one who sent me the notice. If she goes, and some others go with us, I WILL go.

What time does the session start? When are the press likely to get there?

Is it worth showing up early to protest outside? If so, is anyone else interested?

I am not from Texas, but, no matter. The Democrats behavior is disgraceful on a national level. What an example to set for our children! If you're not winning a game or are bypassed for a promotion at work, should one just walk off the field or refuse to go to work until granted the promotion. We know what would happen in the real world....forfeit of the game and FIRED! That's what should happen to these legislators..the citizens of Texas should explore the legal possibility of docking the pay for the number of days they remained off the job and/or fines. I pray the people of Texas will also remember the names of these immature people if they ever attempt to run for re-election.

If *I* were speaker of the house.....

Next time the House convenes, and a dim-o-crat rose to speak, I would say:
"The Chair recognizes the representative from Oklahoma, Mr. X"

Damned cowards.

I don't know you can email the man who orgainized it.

Newest notices is

Just heard on the news that the Democrats are planning to pack the gallery, I guess to give the traitors a standing ovation. Hope the Republicans get there first.

I think Perry will call a special session in June and they will vote on it then.
