Republicans; A Tradition of Messing with Texas. #Sold out. #Privatization #Plutocracy. Or as Jimmy Carter called it, “An Oligarchy of unlimited Bribery”
Its not as if Texas was enough of a mess before this.
A privatized electric grid. A winter disaster that killed many people because of Privatization, Ala Ronald Reagan. Many more died from the Republican designed privatization than the Texas Republican leadership wants to admit..
This is to say nothing about all the damage to the infrastructure in Texas from the lack of electricity during the Snowmageddon storm in February 2021.
Now the 2010 census is ready and its time to reapportion the congressional seats for the State and Federal legislatures.
The Republican leadership know they will loose the positions of leadership and both houses if they do not cheat and steal the next election. As if that was not enough the Texas Republicans are hoping to remove many people from the voting rolls and make it harder to vote. There are many more dirty tricks up their sleeves with more to come if they can pull it off. The Democratic leadership and other members of the Texas legislature have left the state and fled to DC. Hopefully get some help from the Democratic leadership and stop this continuing disaster and looming destruction of the democratic processes in Texas.
I am from New Mexico, and was still living in New Mexico around the time of the 2000 Census. I remember the State Legislature of Texas was in session. The Democratic Party membership of the Texas legislature have left the state of Texas to prevent the Republicans for instituting a new gerrymandered Redistricting map for Legislative seats.
Some of the Texan Democratic Legislators showed up in Santa Fe. The governor of Texas at that time said he was going to send the Texas Rangers to find them and Bring them back. Needless to say the Authority’s in New Mexico were not real happy about that idea.
There was still some animosity between Texas and New Mexico. Some going back to the time of Spain, or the Mexican Revolution, The division of lands, by the Federal government. Everything east of the Rio Grande river in New Mexico was considered part of Texas at one time. New Mexico used to be four times as big as it is now. New Mexico and many New Mexicans still had title to their lands that were land grants from the Queen of Spain. There were Families that felt like the Border crossed New Mexico, more that once. The older People used to say “We didn’t cross the border; the border crossed us”
New Mexico has almost always been quite progressive, since there was such a large ethnic mix since before New Mexico was a state. The Spanish, who exterminated, or conquered dozens of Native tribes. The Scots-Irish that did not get land in the time of the Oklahoma land rush. When the US government gave away a lot more Native Tribal lands to more foreigners. But I digress! I was Thinking about Oligarchy and Tyranny.
We Now have an Oligarchy of Unlimited Bribery. It now looks like we could be headed towards a Tyranny of a single party. A party that has no honor or any shame about Lying to keep their Phony Baloney Jobs.
They Think it is about Money and Greed, and the next election. To keep getting massive donations from the corrupt corporations and criminals they are bought off by. The Super PACs and other so called non-profit organizations that have huge influence over our elections.
That buy our elected and appointed officials like a kid in a candy store.
Call your Congressional Representatives and Senators today.
Tell them its time to Stand on the right side of History.
