The 81st Texas Legislative Resumed January 13, 2009!
Thanks to our Supporters
IRCOT WAS ON THE GROUND
PLEASE
READ THE FOLLOWING DISTURBING REPORT AND CONTACT SPEAKER STRAUS IMMEDIATELY
During the opening week of session, some VERY DISTURBING information was revealed concerning some "behind the scenes" negotiations on immigration legislation. While we hope the following account isn't true.....you should have the opportunity to let your elected leaders (and the new House leadership) know how the MAJORITY of Texans feel about illegal immigration.
It seems immigration legislation was the bargaining chip that Rep. Joe Straus used to garner the support of so many Democrats he swayed in the recent coup to oust Speaker Craddick.
We heard not once....but twice, from VERY reliable sources that Speaker Straus gave the Democrats his word that he would not let any immigration legislation come out of the House this session.
While MANY fine Republicans in the Senate successfully managed to exempt a Voter ID bill from the procedural rules vote on the "Blocker Bill".....it really won't matter if immigration legislation never makes it out of the House!!
The line has been drawn.......the 81st session is our ALAMO!
PLEASE -- ACT NOW!

Let the House Speaker know that you expect him to do EVERYTHING possible to get MANY of the strong immigration bills which have been introduced out of the House this session.
He took an oath to uphold the laws and constitution of both the State of Texas and the United States. First and foremost, his obligation is to protect and provide opportunities for U.S. CITIZENS who reside in Texas.
IT IS NOT his job to protect and provide for an illegal foreign born population who have broken our laws to enter our nation and reside in our State.
Texans have overwhelming stated in poll after poll that they want the tide of illegal immigration into Texas to end. They want Texas legislators to enact strong legislation THIS SESSION to end the magnets and end"sanctuary city" policies in Texas.
THEN....CLICK HERE
