What exactly does that mean? Are you suggesting that if CSHB 972 fails to pass, the electorate should vote out even those legislators who did support it?bizarrenormality wrote:If they can't get 21 votes for our civil rights this year, they deserve less than 21 votes next year.

Re: HB 972 -Not enough votes?
Being placed on the Senate Intent Calendar doesn't necessarily mean that the sponsor/author has the 21 votes; it could just mean that the sponsor/author thinks he/she might get the 21 votes.baldeagle wrote:It's on the Senate Intent Calendar. That usually means they have the 21 votes, or at least they think they do.

Re: HB 972 -Not enough votes?
No, that just means some Senator wanted his/her name attached to the bill. Co-sponsors have nothing to do with the twenty-one votes needed to suspend.hammer58 wrote:What does "Co-Sponsor Authorized" mean? I looked up the status of the bill on the Texas Legislature page and this is the last action listed dated 5/20/13. Does that mean that they have the 21 votes to get it to the floor?
