Re: Joe Straus

Well, here is the response that I got from my rep:
Dear Mr. xxxxxx,

Thank you for your email regarding the Speaker of the House. I appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts with me.

I have always been a strong supporter of Joe Straus, and I believe he has done a great job as Speaker of the House. If Speaker Straus chooses to run again, he will have my vote, even if I am the only member voting for him. I will continue to stand by Speaker Straus – he is an honorable man and a great leader for this state. Last session was very successful in terms of passing conservative legislation, and I expect that to continue when the 84th Legislature convenes on January 13, 2015.

Again, thank you for writing. I always appreciate hearing from my constituents on issues that are important to them. If my staff or I can be of further assistance to you in the future, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Sincerely,

Patricia Harless

State Representative
District 126
My response was a touch aggravating:
Well, I sincerely believe you are wrong on this issue, and if you think the "last session was very successful in terms of passing conservative legislation", you are, quite simply, wrong. Maybe you aren't the conservative you paint yourself to be.

For example, take a look at this: http://www.breitbart.com/Breitbart-Texa ... Joe-Straus" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

If you haven't already, you're way behind. Get going son!
Rep. Harless, District 126 has certainly heard from me on ABS: Anyone but Straus.

Re: Joe Straus

HB3218 did not fix the 51% problem. It didn't touch bars with a ten foot pole.
