Fiscal Responsbility Texas House

Filed under: Culture, Politics | Tags: , ,

The Texas House of Representatives was given a grade on their votes for fiscal issues in this past House session and special session. Passing grade is 70 % although I have to admit for me it is much higher, say 90%. However let us stick with the grades as given by Empower Texans, here is the URL if you want to see it for yourself: https://index.empowertexans.com/indexes/2017-index/house#tables

It is disheartening to see how many of those who claim to be Republicans failed even the 70% mark. However it is obvious that this would be the case, these people are really not Republicans, they are Republicrats instead. They kowtow to the Demoncrats and give away the house.

N/A

Of course as the speaker of the House Joe Straus doesn’t vote, but he is the one who decides what issues even get to committee, and what committee it is. He also is responsible for the chairs of each of the committees. He has said that he would not allow the governors agenda to be passed, even though it is the agenda that the people of the State of Texas, at least the majority since there are some democrats in the State, but the majority of the citizens wanted this agenda to pass.

As a member of the Constitution Party of Texas I am not surprised, since Republicrats and Demopublicans are really one and the same. It is time for this to change, we need those who believe in the Constitution as the law of the land, to come over to our party, join us and rid us of these career politicians who want to line their own pockets at the expense of we the citizens (taxpayers) of the State of Texas. Come and be a part of the solution, lets end this stranglehold that the Progressives have on Austin, let us bring back the Constitution and its guarantees of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. In other words get the government off our backs and out of our wallets.

Does it have to be R or D?

In the last Presidential election, we had 4 candidates running for the office. You had a Democrat, a Republican (Populist), a Libertarian and a Green Party candidate. Of course we all knew it had to be either the Republican or the Democrat who would win. The other two were too far out in the wasteland of not even getting into the debates. So which of the two REAL candidates did we want to be President of the United States.

Neither of these candidates was especially loveable, so we picked the one that was the better fighter of the two who we really did not want. Now we have a divided nation, and in many ways the left has decided that Bernie would have won so RESIST the Republican. We end up with riots in the streets, with the Antifa and BLM burning buildings, and cars and attacking anyone who is not on their side. Then you have the KKK, the Neo-Nazis and those who seem to think they are the better race (White Supremacists) on the other side. Personally I am amazed that we have so much anarchy, I was horrified at what happened in Charlottesville VA, especially that the Police did nothing until it was way too late to stop the mayhem.

They say there was no stand down order, that makes it even more confusing, why was that murderer with a car able to kill and maim so many people with that many police out there? This is not the first riot, we saw another in Phoenix this past week, again it was Trump supporters, that got caught in the street after the rally. Antifa with clubs and other fun things ready to do major harm to anyone who got in their way.

What is really so surprising to me is that there was an alternative candidate, running as an independent in many states, simply because of the stranglehold the Rs and Ds have on the election process. If you don’t have millions of dollars, so that you can pay each state to let you on the ballot, or pay to have professional pollsters out on the streets getting the thousands of signatures needed to get on the ballot you cannot run. In some states the candidates were actually able to run under their party label. Many times as write-in candidates, but they were on the ballot in all 50 states. I heard it said though that a third party candidate cannot win, we have to pick the lesser of the two EVILS!

Wake up America to the reality that we need to rid ourselves of the two EVILS! The 5th party in that race was the Constitution Party of the United States. The two parties that now run our nation are no longer Constitutional parties. Let us understand that these really are two EVILS in our midst. These two parties are the twins they are more concerned with their own pockets being filled than with doing what is right for the nation. They even exempt themselves from following the laws that you and I have to live under, they expect preferential treatment, they make obscene salaries, well above what you and I make. Not only that but they are now PROFESSIONAL POLITICIANS they assume they will be able to stay in D. C. until they decide to retire.

They are the ones who tax you and I to death, so they can live high on the hog in their little political bubble called Washington D. C. and many live in mansions not houses. It is time to wake up to the truth, take a look at your Senators and your representatives. How often does your Senator get out and talk to you, about once in every 6 years, when he or she is running for re-election.

Well the Constitution Party is made up of everyday people, when we run for elected office it is to be there for a term or two and then get back to living our lives at home. The State of New Jersey now has a Constitutional Party candidate on the ballot running for Governor, wonder if the Rs and Ds are even concerned about him? I hope they are because he has an excellent chance to become the next governor of that State. Matt Riccardi is that candidate, check him out. He believes in the Constitution and that will mean that he will govern with the rights of all people in his mind and heart. It cost a lot to get him on that ballot, but he is there and he will be running hard in New Jersey to become their next governor.

In the Presidential election of 1860 there were four candidates running for President, there were actually two democrats because the democrat party had split over the issue of slavery. So the Southern Democratic party ran John C Breckinridge who was of course a true southern Democrat. He held and wanted to keep the slaves he had. The Northern Democrats  ran Stephen A. Douglas, a moderate, he wanted to insure that slavery would be continued in the south to keep the nation together. Then there was the Constitutional Union they ran a man named John Bell, this was a party made up of the old Whig party and a couple of other minor parties. The Republican party which was formed in 1854 and by 1860 had replaced the Whig party. They ran Abraham Lincoln for President.

As we all know, Lincoln won that election. He was not well known outside his own State of Illinois even though he had been active in politics for a number of years. He won the presidency because people decided that he was the right man to bring the nation together. He was against slavery, and received almost no votes from the southern states, he actually carried only 18 states, but it gave him 180 electoral votes. He received 1,865, 908 votes or 39.8% of the popular vote. The other 3 candidates received the rest of the votes or almost 60% of the vote.

So although he was not considered a 3rd party candidate, he really was a minority candidate, he won somewhat like Trump did because he carried the states that he needed to win the election. Had one of the other men won, the Southern States would probably not seceded, and the war would not have happened and slavery would have continued. However he did win and 7 confederate states seceded prior to his inauguration. The original capital of the Confederacy was established in Montgomery, Alabama. Later it was moved to Richmond VA.

So why not start now to change the landscape of this nation, the Constitution Party of the United States may very well fit your belief structures a lot better than the two EVILS that we now have running our country. We believe in smaller government, because the Constitution spells out what the Federal government can and cannot do and we believe that it is the law of the land. It is time to rid us of the bureaucracy of Washington D. C. and return the power to the people of this nation. The 10th Amendment states that the powers not given by the Constitution to the Federal government, belongs to the States and the People. Lets take the government back into our own hands. Find out in your own State about your Constitution Party and join us in working to right the wrongs of the two EVILS!

For me it is the Constitution Party of Texas http://www.cptexas.us come and take a look and join us as we work to turn it around in Texas.
