Subject: House Traitors Refuse Your Faxes

Summary of this week's report:

Over the past couple of weeks, thousands of you have sent faxes and
placed phone calls expressing your disapproval of the cowardly
Republican leadership in the Texas House, particularly
traitors-in-chief Joe Straus and Burt Solomons.

The situation has now gotten so bad that my tech guy has informed
me that Straus and Solomons are now refusing your faxes. That's
right, thousands of you took time to write a personal message to
them about your concerns, and they turned their fax machines off
because they don't care what you have to say.

Please call the two House traitors, Straus and Solomons, since they
refuse to take your faxes. Speaker Straus can be reached at (512)
463-1000 or (210) 828-4411 and Rep. Solomons at (512) 463-0478 or
(972) 394-3904. Again, call back later if the lines are busy, so
that they know we will not give up holding them accountable for
their traitorous acts against this state. Tell them how
disappointed you are that they blocked this important legislation
in this year's legislative session.

The full report:

The latest session of the Texas Legislature has come and gone, and
it's time to take a look back and recap the victories and losses
for conservative Texans. Frankly, the results weren't all that
positive, and there's no point in sugarcoating it. With the GOP
holding a majority in the House, and a big majority in the Senate,
they should have accomplished a lot more than they did when it
comes to issues like illegal immigration, sanctuary cities, and
voter ID. Patriotic conservatives are the ones who put them in
office, and yet they keep letting us down.

One of our biggest disappointments was the much needed Voter ID
bill. There's no reason that any Republican legislator should have
opposed this bill, which would require everyone to show valid state
issued ID in order to vote, starting in 2010. It's identical to a
bill which Indiana passed a few years ago, and which has been ruled
constitutional by the US Supreme Court. Yet the GOP leadership in
the House waffled, stalled, and obfuscated as much as they could to
keep it from passing. They offered an alternative bill which was
much weaker, and wouldn't take effect for years. Thousands of you
contacted your representative to insist that the original bill be
passed to no avail. The GOP leadership, especially Elections
Committee Chairman Todd Smith, betrayed us, and this bill never
became law.

SB 358 was another disappointment. This bill, introduced by Rep.
Dan Patrick, would have barred Texas municipalities from declaring
themselves "sanctuary cities" where laws against illegal
immigration aren't enforced. Sanctuary cities are already illegal,
as no government entity can refuse to enforce state and federal
laws. SB 358 would have cracked down on this blatant defiance of
the law, but at the last minute Rep. Patrick withdrew the bill,
even though the likelihood of it passing was quite high.

Were there any victories for conservative Texans to celebrate
during this session? Yes, we did win a few. One of the biggest
victories was getting two official rulings from the Texas Attorney
General that the Legislature has the authority to outlaw sanctuary
cities, and to strip business licenses from companies that employ
illegal aliens, which refute the charges by Democrats and
weak-kneed Republicans that such bills are unconstitutional. These
rulings took away one of the biggest excuses often used to oppose
such bills, and laid the groundwork for possibly getting them
passed in the future.

We had a semi-victory when it comes to HB 276. This bill would
require all state agencies to report the amount of money they spend
on illegal aliens. We've tried to get it passed several times, but
it has been languishing in committee. This year, it finally got
out of committee and was placed on the calendar. It didn't become
law, but it's a hopeful sign.

Two bills which deal with the growing menace of street gangs, such
as the ultra violent MS-13, also passed. SB 418 and SB 379 require
local law enforcement to collect information about gang membership
from arrested criminals and make an annual report to the governor
on the numbers. These bills are a couple of small steps in the
right direction. Finally, we were also able to kill SB 1398. This
bill would have nullified the efforts of local communities to deal
with their illegal alien problem. This is great news for cities
like Farmers Branch and others who are tired of waiting for Austin
and Washington to deal with the invasion of illegals, and are
taking a pro-active approach to the crisis.

While we're thankful for these small victories, it's no
exaggeration to say that this past legislative session was
disastrous when it comes to dealing with the ongoing invasion of
Texas by illegal aliens. The invasion has been going on for
decades, and it's the number one issue with conservatives in Texas,
but the GOP refuses to stand up and fight for us and our families.
This situation can't continue much longer, or Texas will soon go
the way of California, which is now bankrupt due largely to the
presence of millions of illegal aliens.

Having Joe Straus as the GOP leader in the House has been, to put
it mildly, horrendous for anyone concerned about illegal
immigration. The Democrats might as well have won the election,
because Straus is far more concerned with pleasing them than
pleasing the conservative voters who elect Republicans. In fact,
one of the first things he did after becoming Speaker was to pander
to the Mexican American Legislative Caucus, who even made Straus an
honorary member of their exclusive ethnic caucus (he apparently
didn't qualify for full membership). It's obvious Straus made it
clear to them that he was not going to do anything about illegal
immigration.

In fact, we have been informed by several well placed and reliable
sources in Austin that Straus made a deal with the Democrats - if
they would vote for him for Speaker, he would make sure nothing
substantial was done about illegal immigration. He certainly kept
his end of the bargain. Democrats and pro-immigration groups are
quite pleased with his performance. "I think the leadership got
the message," said Luis Figueroa, legislative staff attorney for
the Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund. A
pro-immigration House member went even further. Here's what Rep.
Martinez Fischer, a Democrat, said about Joe Straus: "We've
demonstrated pretty clearly we can keep those bills from ever
coming to the floor. Joe understands the idea of what comes around
goes around - we just have a philosophical respect for each other."

Straus is by no means the only quisling in Austin. He's had a lot
of help. Straus has been greatly aided and abetted in his betrayal
of conservatives by Rep. Burt Solomons. Solomons is Chairman of
the important State Affairs Committee, and has used his power to
bury a lot of important legislation. Straus and Solomons are a tag
team of sellouts, who are working together to block immigration
bills. They've been elected to represent us, but they refuse to do
so. You've been calling, writing and faxing, but they turn a deaf
ear.

The situation has now gotten so bad that my tech guy has informed
me that Straus and Solomons are now refusing your faxes. That's
right, thousands of you took time to write a personal message to
them about your concerns, and they turned their fax machines off
because they don't care what you have to say. With GOP "leadership"
like this, who needs Democrats?

All is not lost, though. Governor Perry can call the legislators
back to Austin for a special session, and he can specify what
topics they address. It's urgent that we call and fax his office,
and insist that he include the following as subjects of the special
session: Photo Voter ID (HB 125), Transnational gangs in Texas (SB
11, SB 366, SB 369, SB 371 and SB 423), the costs of state services
to illegal aliens (SB 276), and the Sanctuary City bill (SB 35.
It's imperative that we get these bills turned into law as soon as
possible. The next few years will be a watershed for Texas,
especially with the census and redistricting coming up. If we can
begin to halt and reverse the massive invasion of illegals and do
it soon, we can preserve the Texas we all know and love. If we
don't, the Lone Star state will inevitably go the way of California
and become a Third World outpost in America. So let's keep the
pressure on. We can't let up until these craven and treasonous
Republicans in Austin get the message.

Take Action:

Please call the two House traitors, Straus and Solomons, since they
refuse to take your faxes. Speaker Straus can be reached at (512)
463-1000 or (210) 828-4411 and Rep. Solomons at (512) 463-0478 or
(972) 394-3904. Again, call back later if the lines are busy, so
that they know we will not give up holding them accountable for
their traitorous acts against this state. Tell them how
disappointed you are that they blocked this important legislation
in this year's legislative session.

Texans,

You better get on the phone. The above mentioned are the reason you do not have a voter ID bill, or any immigration enforcement and prevention bills.

The blame is not misplaced here. It is directly targeted at those who stood in the way, not let them know you are displeased.
