State Board Of Education Votes Down In-Depth Study Of First Amendment
Thu, 03/11/2010 - 6:44pm
Earlier today, the Texas State Board of Education, in a straight party line vote, voted down an amendment that would require Texas schoolchildren to study the reasons why the First Amendment prohibits the establishment of a state religion. The Board's seven Republican Board members voted against the amendment while the Board's five Democratic members voted for it. The amendment was proposed by Board member Mavis Knight (D-Dallas). For a group that has been running around Texas talking about how health care reform is unconstitutional and how Texas ought to re-affirm our sovereignty under the auspices of the 10th Amendment, it reeks of the deepest hypocrisy and the rankest moral dishonesty to privilege certain Amendments in the Bill of Rights while ignoring others. Welcome to Texas, where nothing is off limits for the Texas GOP.

Well there is no Ron Paul candidate now running for the top state office. That candidate was sabotaged by one of the national party operatives(GLEN BECK).So,lets move on. The only individual now in the state governor's race that won't push the North American Union, and the confiscating of property to build the highway from Mexico to Canada is Bill White. Do we want a North American Union with new currency and a bureaucracy over ruling our government. NO! Then vote---- Bill White. We don't need more forced vaccinations or refusal to take federal monies(for grandstanding). Do we need an SOB arrogant enough to suggest we secede from the union (again grandstanding for the right wing nuts), That should illustrate the level of intelligence of those supporting Rick Perry. I urge all Independents to support Bill White, don't stay home because you don't like either. Your vote counts.
