HB 1359 s passage is one of Denton County GOP’s priorities, which the party hopes will send “a strong message” to state lawmakers. The party also resolved to launch a campaign informing Texas Republican voters about the proposition’s importance.
In explaining the rationale behind the resolution, the party calls the federal bureaucracy “unaccountable” and “invasive.” It complains that needless regulations are crippling “entrepreneurial initiative and the creation of wealth,” and that there isn’t hope of returning the bureaucracy to its constitutional role.
The party also says the state s constitution allows Texans to alter, reform, or abolish their government in such manner as they may think expedient.” (Not all constitutional scholars agree on this point.)

I thought I knew. You thought you knew. But what isn’t made better via input from the Texas Legislature? We are truly blessed.
So now comes Sen. Drew Springer, R-Muenster, with Senate Concurrent Resolution 28, filed Thursday, the penultimate day for filing legislation in this, the 87th Texas Legislature, the one in which Springer decided it’s time to define native Texan.
