One can only hope that the citizens of Texas are so fed up with this they vote the Dims out of office.

I think your statement would read better as follows:

One can only hope that the [Democrat] citizens of Texas are so fed up with this they vote the Dims out of office.

Most of these 'yellow bellies' come from very secure democrat districts.... They may get replaced with someone else but it will be a democrat unless the democrat electorate gets a dose of 'kick the bums out for a republican' which I doubt is very likely.

Any one that runs from a job they were elected to do has no principles.

So where are they staying now? I bet they got tired of people calling them to yell at the where they were once their location was publicized. I don't understand why they would need a meeting room. 11 people could easily meet in one hotel room. What spoiled babies they are. I bet their spouses are happy to have a break from them if they are as spoiled as they sound.

I can't remember if the reference/article I saw said where, only that they changed hotels.

I perused some of these articles for the reference but couldn't find it ...

$100,000 for 11 Senators for 30 days.
They do live well, don't they?

I can't find any hotel name, either.
I guess they don't want any visitors from the Republicans, anymore.

Thanks for the link to the article and the idea to email the author. Here's my letter:

""I prefer to call the Democratic Senators and Representatives the "Fleas. "I can not feel sorry for a group of 11 elected officials who left their posts to live on $9000 per 30 days, each. Despite their cries of hardship, they are living off their constituents after hopping across the State line(s).
They, like their insect namesakes, are vectors of disease. They perpetuate the mindset typified by the Socialist group moveon.org. that anything goes to disrupt government.
By the way, moveon.org (which has its own link on the Communist Party of the USA website), in its letter sent out by the Rodney Ellis, implies that money sent to the group will go toward "The cost of hotels, meeting rooms, staff support."
Any one or two of the Senators may end the need for Special Sessions by simply coming back to Austin, arguing their case on the floor of the Senate, and doing their job. In the meantime, they have stolen our State government and are holding it hostage in New Mexico. It does not pay to negotiate with, much less give in to, kidnappers and terrorists.""
