You have to be kidding me

 Dear Friends and Neighbors,
I got a newsletter recently from our HD66 State House Representative.  On the first page, 6 lines below "Dear Fellow Texas,"  our representative said, "... I can assure you, this was the most successful Legislative Session for our state."  I was shocked by this statement.

We are now in the 4th Special Session because this has been the most spectacular failed session.  After the regular session and after 3 special sessions, they still cannot perform.  The Governor had to call a 4th special session because our House Representatives fail again and again.  This costs the taxpayers money.

Then I get a political advertisement in the mail from our HD66 representative where he says he is, "A conservative leader we can trust."   What was that?  Can we trust him after he calls the massive failure of the 88th session and the subsequent four (4) special sessions a great success?

After the Texas House, including all the 5 Republican Representatives in Collin County vote to impeach our Attorney General in a lawless kangaroo court, he calls this a successful session?  The Texas Government Code, in section 301.022, says that testimony in a general investigating committee must be sworn testimony, but the committee did not take sworn testimony, breaking their own laws, which is why I call it a lawless kangaroo court.

I have heard that 6 representatives voted "no" on the impeachment based on the violation of section 301.022.  This impeachment of Paxton was a massive boondoggle, whether you like Paxton or not, the process for impeaching him was awful.

Rep Smithee knew this impeachment process was wrong, he said it, but our state rep ignored the wise council of Rep Smithee, just like our rep ignored our requests that he vote against the impeachment.

On a personal note, I like Matt Shaheen, but I think it is time for us to retire him.  He is too out of touch.

His mailers will work on the uninformed.  We have to inform our friends and neighbors about the shortcomings of our state representative, and explain to them why we need a change.  It is work to remove an incumbent, so we all need to work together to improve our representation.

We are lucky that we have a great challenger in Wayne Richard.  We all need to pitch in and help him succeed.
