This is a conservative state, and yet dislodging these liberal ticks from Austin and from power is almost impossible.

The Demoncrats have gerrimandered districts for decades. Martin Frost's district takes a torturous route through several cities. Conservative Texans want the gloves off, in Austin and in D.C. We must cast this scum off our backs and out of our lives for good.

For over a century. We have not had a Republican state legislature. This is why the Rats are angry/scared.

No. It just hasn't been done because the Republican wimps we have in Austin don't have the b@lls to do anything. Those dims have given up on their jobs. The governor needs to declare their seats vacant and call a special election to replace them. I am not holding my breath waiting for it to happen, though.

These dems have to be pretty sure of their seats in the legislature to pull this kind of stunt. The best way to get back of them is to start campaigns in each of their districts to get rid of them.

You may not be able to do anything except STIR UP THE PEOPLE AGAINST THEM. That alone may do the trick! Obviously, being liberal, they don't care what their constituents think - maybe they'd change their mind if they knew that people who vote for them are not happy with their actions.
