Pox on your box !!!!!!!!!! :>)

[PlanoMike]

Good luck !!!!!!!!!!!!

[PlanoMike]

I'm won't run, as I wouldn't want to live in most of the areas where the Chicken D's roost! I'm happy up here in 85% Republican Collin County.

[PlanoMike]

I don't believe so.

[PlanoMike]

I stand corrected.

[al_c]

UT Sports

LOL!!!! Like that will ever happen!

[KwHorn77]

FYI, Chris Baker and others renamed the Chicken D's to the DemoNAZIs

[PlanoMike]

No problem for me, except the Turkey Day Game!

"As to flying, drive to DFW."

Ha! You try driving up I35 for 4 or 5 hours! It's got to be the only interstate in the country with bumper to bumper traffic at 75 mph for 350 miles.

[Zack Nguyen]

I don't think that Armbrister or Madla left with the other Democrats. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

[Flyer]

If nothing else, join us in our FReep in Houston.

Ha! You try driving up I35 for 4 or 5 hours! It's got to be the only interstate in the country with bumper to bumper traffic at 75 mph for 350 miles.

Correction: Bumper to bumper traffic at 90 mph, then 30 mph, then 50, then 20, then 80 ...

I hate very little in this world, but I35 is at the top of that list. Whenever I have to go south (from Dallas) I do all I can to avoid that wretched excuse of a highway.

[sauropod]

Any of 'em yours?

[Flyer]

Houston has 3 of them. Rodney Ellis is mine. We have a FReep in the works.

[PlanoMike]

According to the Dallas Morning News Madla flew the coop to New Mexico. Re Armbrister he didn't, see posts #17 & #25.

Email from friend just in:

CALL TO ARMS

OK - it is time to get VERY serious! Here is what is recommended – be brief!

1. Everyone needs to call YOUR own Senator – whether R or D. It’s not as effective when you call Senators outside your own District.

2. Identify yourself as a CONSTITUENT of the Senator (not as an R or a D). You will be asked your name and address so they can record that you are in their district. Those who do not give this info are mostly disregarded.

3. Tell them they were elected to represent you and that running away is not an answer.

4. Tell them you are in FAVOR of Redistricting. The majority of calls the offices are getting have been against redistricting! It only stands to reason they will interpret the majority as being the will of the constituents. At least tell them that you want FAIR debate with all present!

Below is list of all Senators and the office phone numbers. PLEASE CALL TODAY!

Remember too - Letters to the Editor; Call into Radio Talk Shows!
1. Republicans have never run away
2. All Statewide offices and majority of House and Senate is Republican - Texas is a Republican State and it should be reflected in the districts.

Thanks - Gail


You can find your Senate District on your Voter Registration card.

Senator Eddie Lucio, Jr. is District 27 senator not Leticia.

District 27 - Leticia R. Van de Putte, Westlaco & Brownsville (Cameron, Kenedy, Kleberg, Willacy, and parts of Hidalgo Counties).

[Only1choice____Freedom]

I'll tell everyone here in Georgia. If they come here we'll Freep'em. (Ga. has a Rebub. Gov.) I would love to be in AZ.

I used to live in Houston about 17 years ago. I miss some things about it.

Keep up the good work and fight the good fight.

Boycott Mexican Food?

Technicaly, does Taco Bell qualify as Mexican food?

[GOPcapitalist]

Armbrister stayed behind and did not join his Democrat colleagues in New Mexico. He's the only democrat in the Texas senate that isn't a coward, so we shouldn't penalize him for something his colleagues did.
