Barton: Citizens should have the same weapons the government has
- I'm not a big fan of David Barton but that was the position of those who

stop government when it no longer serves citizens. The Declaration actually
give the people the obligation to overthrow a government which no longer
respects certain Natural principals. |

Rep. Larson: The case for Joe Straus
- funny how Larson credits Straus with conservatism in most every
paragraph but omits Straus describing himself as a "moderate". Also,
Straus had nothing to do with the Tea Party 2010 election results and to
credit him with such is ridiculous. Emails from his team make quite
clear his disdain for conservatives and Tea Party folk. I don't blame a
fellow San Antonio rep. for supporting the home-town guy but, that's all
it is. There is nothing substantive in the column which makes a "case
for Joe Straus". |

Editorial: Texas should ban texting while driving
- How is a ban going to stop it? Do speed limits
stop speeding? We've decades with seat belt and insurance requirement laws
and yet we've about the same percentage of drivers with no insurance as well
as deaths weekly where a seat belt wasn't worn. All a ban does is give
police another tool for selective, capricious handling of law enforcement -
something that degrades the overall respect for the Rule of Law. Put your
thinking caps on editors. |

Travis Co. joins Lubbock Co. with vote-anywhere
Super Precincts Tuesday
- I was the one who did the work to establish super-precincts in Lubbock
with action in the Legislature on a bill originally setup by Harris Co.
and the Sec. of State's office (Harris Co. never did move forward on the
matter). My purpose was never about increasing turnout, it was about 1)
lowering costs by having to buy less of the automated equipment mandated
by HAVA; 2) lower costs by significantly reducing election day payroll
costs; 3) improve convenience for voters; 4) lower the number of places
candidates and campaigns have to cover on election day, and; 5) use the
technology required for super-precincts to improve the security of
voting. Sadly the local government has little interest in lowering costs
and has ballooned the the super-precinct numbers, as well as the
Elections Office, well beyond what was envisioned, or required to meet
legal rules. They've done what gov't does - made it all cost more
instead of less! It is still more convenient but lowering costs were
what should have been the driving factor and result. |
