CALL TO ACTION!!

Decentralize the Power in Austin!

The CLTP Executive Board was extremely disappointed with the outcome of Texas' House of Representative's choice of leadership on Tuesday.

Needless to say, there was a deal made and here it is:

  

This is a proposal by Rep. Bill Zedler (R) Arlington to amend the House Rules:

a. No Committee Chairmen could serve on the Calendars Committee. The Calendars Committee basically controls what legislation is brought up for a 'floor vote;' and

b. If a measure has 76, or more, co-authors the Calendars Committee must submit it to the House Floor for an up or down vote within 7 to 10 days. ( By the way a similar provision is in place in the U. S. House of Representatives. It is called a 'bill of petition.')

Corruption under the existing rules during the last session caused several liberty-minded bills that had broad popular support to never see the 'light of day.' Although the Anti-TSA Groping Bill did finally reach the House Floor towards the end of the 82nd General Session, it's pace, to say the least, was 'leisurely.'

These House Rules reforms are scheduled to be voted on Monday, Jan. 14th, according to a tweet sent out by the Quorum Report on Weds.

This will 'decentralize' the powers that currently reside exclusively with the House Speaker and that will 'serve as a wall' against future corruption of the legislative process.

If you want to see 'liberty-minded' legislation make it to the floor of the Texas House of Representatives, e.g. Nullification of ObamaCare, anti-sanctuary cities legislation, interposition against the TSA groping, etc., then swing into action NOW!

  

Immediately, contact your local Texas House Reps and insist that they vote for these changes!
