1. Governor Perry and The Arizona Immigration Law:

Governor Perry has said that the Arizona legislation is not right for Texas. Do you suppose he felt he had to say this since he has announced he is going  after 50% of the Hispanic vote?  Considering the news item below, it could be presumed that politics will trump over what is really right for Texas.

Texas Governor Perry on the Ropes About Arizona Immigration Law
"Some of you may have seen the recent Public Policy Polling numbers showing Republican Governor Rick Perry in a dead heat with Democratic challenger Bill White. But there’s something else about that poll that hasn’t been as widely reported. When we polled the race in February Rick Perry led Bill White by 6 points. The race is tied now, and the movement since the previous poll has come completely with Hispanic voters." Blue Wave News, June 26, 2010.

Let your voices be heard and contact Governor Perry:

 Speaker of the Texas House:


We know that House Speaker Joe Strauss was a deal maker when it came to no immigration bills being brought to the floor in the last Texas legislative session. That deal was made with the Mexican American Hispanic Legislative Caucus.  Rep. Trey Martinez Fischer, D-San Antonio said:

 

We've demonstrated pretty clearly we can keep those bills (immigration bills) from ever coming to the floor," said Martinez Fischer, a San Antonio Democrat. "Joe (Strauss-Speaker of (the) Texas House) understands the idea of what comes around goes around -- we just have a philosophical respect for each other."

We know that Speaker Strauss has denied this even though it is in black and white. Rep. Burt Solomons, District 65, Carrollton, also denies it in a scathing letter to Leo Berman, wherein he called Leo Berman a liar.

 

Rep. Leo Berman has now made it known that he intends to seek the office of House Speaker. Peter Morrison, IRCOT Partner, has made it possible for a fax to be sent to the Republican members of the house. If you haven't already done so, please use this way to let each Republican member know we want a strong person like Leo Berman in that chair.

If your House member is not a Republican, please go to http://www.fyi.legisl.state.tx.us for their contact information and let them know we need a strong person in the chair of House Speaker. As Mike Cutler, former INS agent, expert witness, writer and commentator keeps saying:

This is neither a Conservative issue, nor is it a Liberal issue- simply stated, this is most certainly an AMERICAN issue!

Let Your Voices be Heard!
