The dems tried this in Virginia too.

Gov. McDonald (R) vetoed it.

“Ironically enough, Rep. Burt Solomons (chair of the House Redistricting Committee) is a Republican appointed by Republican Speaker Joe Straus! “

Are they originally from New Jersey? Here in the garbage Garden State, its a regular occurrence for Republicans to toady up to Democrats. As a matter of fact, Democrats in New Jersey don't need footstools, they just use the Republicans.

THE GRASSROOTS TEXANS NETWORK

Fellow Grassroots Texans:

Things are flying fast and furious in the Redistricting Shuffle.

By now, you've likely received multiple messages on the best map to support. It appears that different conservatives are backing different maps drawn up by Joe Nixon (aka "the Nixon Maps"). Things are changing constantly, and it's nearly impossible to keep up. There does not appear to be any clear consensus at this time as to one single map, though we are hearing that any one of the Nixon Maps would be a dramatic improvement over the Solomons Map...

I hate articles like this. The writer told me everything and showed me nothing, so I’m left with nothing to go on. If there is gerrymandering going on here, evidence needs to be presented to the reader.

Perhaps the Republicans are more interested in holding onto a very strong 90 seat majority for a decade rather than a tenuous 100+ seat majority that could just as easily slide back down to minority status in a down year. The 2010 election was a high water mark.

Governor Rick Perry’s Office is closed for Good Friday and will be open again on Monday.

Thought some might want his FAX number so a letter can be in place when the office is again open.

Office of the Governor (Texas) Fax: (512) 463-1849

Remember all the Republicans that voted for Strauss again as speaker???

This is the “you get what you voted for” result...

This, “Let’s not make any waves...” mentality will be the undoing of the conservative movement...
