Now if we can make principle and personal gain allies, all legislation can be passed.mojo84 wrote:I hear what you are saying. I still don't think it is a "party" issue. Thinking of Joe Straus and how Governor Perry didn't proactively address pro gun initiatives and now Manchin aligning himself with Biden and Bloomberg. Democrat or Republican, I just don't agree that it is a party thing. It comes down to the individual putting principle over personal gain/profit.Cedar Park Dad wrote:Why do you think the Republican Party cares one whit? Parties only care about votes and power.

Re: Letter to Governor Rick Perry
Historically Texas was a Democratic state. It was a Democratic state in my lifetime and will be so again.
Historically the Second Amendment was not the purview of a specific party. None of the Bill of Rights were. To reduce it to a party specific concept makes it vulnerable.

Re: Letter to Governor Rick Perry
Maybe more democrats should be elected who aren't against the Second Amendment as well? Relying on one party is not the best idea (all your eggs in one basket).

Vote for the best candidate available, or more precisely, the least worst one...

Re: Letter to Governor Rick Perry
Gozer the Traveller for Governor, why vote for the lesser evil!When he has the keys to the special session and doesn't add campus carry, it's time for a new keymaster.
P.S. Gozer!
