Texas: Burgess, Cornyn and Hutchison just can't say "yes" to constituents

Congratulations to the rest of you who live in Texas' 26th Congressional District, it seems we do not need any economic stimulus. At least that's what Ol' Doc Burgess, our so-called representative seems to think. He voted against the economic stimulus package. I guess that means Republicans in Texas' 26th will be returning any checks they get from the government.

For the rest of us, I have two words for you - Ken Leach. Click here and check out his website. If you like what you see, please click here and go to ActBlue and donate to the campaign. I can't afford it, but I still made a modest contribution because I can't afford another term with Bushman Burgess. If you want to volunteer, contact the campaign through the Leach for Congress website or sign up at Leach for Congress at Democracy for America, or just add your name as a supporter.

Just because Boy George Bush is leaving the White House, it does not mean his stench will not linger in Washington. Bushman Burgess would be part of that lingering stench.

In the meantime, enjoy what civil rights you have while you have them. Both of Texas' senators voted against effforts to put a lid on the Bush Administration's illegal domestic spying.

There's only one thing we can do about that for now; get rid of Sen. John Cornyn. The solution for that is Rick Noriega. Check out the Noriega Campaign website, you can sign up as a supporter, list yourself as a volunteer for the campaign, and/or donate on the website. You also can sign up as a volunteer or as just a supporter at the Noriega Campaign site at DFA. What a concept; someone in the senate who's actually worn a uniform and been in combat. Wonder how the swiftboating chickenhawks will attack that? (Just ask them - "Where's bin Laden?")

We'll see how to take care of Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison later. We may have a chance to vote against her as governor and "Good Hair" Perry, the toll road king, as senator coming up here soon. (Next time Perry runs for anything, remember what he has done for Texas by driving from Fort Worth to Dallas on toll roads; it cost me $4.00 the other day - thanks to Boy George Bush that's about $.75 Canadian).
