Governor Perry, destiny is holding for you on on Line 1.
Imagine, a politician with a spine.
Earlier this year, the Texas House passed State Rep. David Simpson’s bill to protect traveler’s dignity and basic civil rights by clarifying that TSA employees do not have immunity from TX criminal code simply because they are “following orders” from a rogue bureaucracy in Washington, D.C.
Unfortunately, the bill was pulled in the State Senate without receiving a vote during the regular session after the DOJ stepped in and basically threatened to turn Texas into a “no-fly zone.”
The bill can now only come under consideration again during the special session of the legislature if the Governor himself adds it to the list of bills to be taken up during the special session.
Put it on the list and do some one-on-one lobbying to get it passed. Tens of millions of Americans will praise his name and remember it when they are standing in the voting booth (or if you are a Washington State voter, when you are at your kitchen table voting on your mail-in ballot because the state legislature will not allow you to vote at a polling station).
Yessir, you nailed this one. Perry would be a Reagan-esque landslide were he to man up on this. The real Tea Party (not the poser wannabees in the limelight today- we have lives ya know) would come out in droves.
