I went to the twitter link above and began reading.....but had to stop and couldn't reply, etc because my head was about to explode
we are truly "battling" severely uneducated, illogical folks that have no common sense, I didn't waste any more of my time

I'm starting to like Twitter (my second day on it) I have almost every Texas Representative/Senator some US ones, most anti-gun wackos, and several GOP/Republican party/ Tea party on it ... and the Texas Commissioner on Agriculture is following me ...

I also added all the TV/Radio/Newspap[er guys who follow the Representatives/House...All sorts of funny stuff

Speaker Straus mistakenly says pt of order from Democrat E. Rodriguez was overruled when it was sustained. "It's a habit," he jokingly adds.

DISTRICT 54 UPDATE

The Office of Representative Jimmie Don Aycock

Greetings Friends, Constituents and Supporters:
Today, I voted to remove a controversial amendment, known as the "Guns on Campus" amendment, from an appropriations bill. The amendment would have allowed concealed handguns to be carried on college campuses.

Isn't it the Woodheads who refer to it as "Guns on Campus"? I've never heard supporters refer to it as anything other than "campus carry."

They hear it 200 times in a row from Woodheads/Goddards' possum players/Andy Pelosi the other Pied Piper & out of State Democrats they tweet ...on the phone, and got brainwashed since it was easier to say than "the Campus Carry Amendment language Wentworth added to SB 1581"

It is important to contact Joe Strauss now.

Dear . _____________:

Thank you for writing to express your support for legislation that would allow Texans to carry concealed handguns on college campuses. I value the opinions of all Texans, especially concerning important issues of individual liberty.

Several members of the 82nd Legislature have filed bills on this topic, including House Bill 750 by Representative Joe Driver and Senate Bill 354 by Senator Jeff Wentworth. HB 750 was passed by the House Committee on Homeland Security and Public Safety and then sent to the House Committee on Calendars to be considered for debate by the full House. The deadline for House bills to be scheduled for debate on the floor was May 10, 2011. HB 750 was not placed on a calendar prior to that deadline, so it will not receive further consideration during the 82nd Legislative Session.

SB 354 was included as an amendment to another bill, SB 1581 by Senator Steve Ogden, which passed the Senate on May 9, 2011. The bill has been referred to the House Committee on Appropriations and is scheduled for consideration in a formal meeting on May 13, 2011.

As Speaker, it is my duty to preside over the other 149 members of the Texas House of Representatives so I rarely vote and do not personally carry legislation; however, I will keep your comments in mind should SB 1581 come before the full House.

I encourage you to track the progress of SB 1581 by visiting Texas Legislature Online at http://www.capitol.state.tx.us" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; or by calling the Texas Bill Status Hotline at 1-877-824-7038. The website includes My TLO, a helpful tool that allows you to track the status of particular bills by creating custom watch lists. You can also receive alerts when significant actions are taken on the bills in which you have an interest.

Again, thank you for writing. Please do not hesitate to contact me if I can be of further assistance on this or any other issue.

Sincerely,
Joe Straus
Speaker

EDIT: Pitts and Aycock sure could use some more calls, etc., from "us", if you know what I mean... Faxes are next.

I must have been the first one to call Kuempel, because the nice young lady didn't seem to know what was up.

1. Speaker Joe Straus: (512) 463-1000
2. Rep. Jim Pitts: (512) 463-0516
3. Rep. Jimmie Aycock: (512) 463-0684

I was just thinking if Dr. Suzanna Hupp, who Aycock replaced had still been in office and co-authored the House bill .... wonder what all the John Woods callers would be hearing when they called HER ...

Heck, I'd volunteer to drive to Austin to help answer her phone

I also contacted Strauss, since "THEY" are

SB 1581 (the HB 3639 companion)

Please help oppose any attempt to remove Senator Wentworth's campus-carry provisions from SB 1581 (the HB 3639 companion) Jimmie Don Aycock, an Author of HB 3639 (along with Representative Pitts) is my Representative. He took over for Dr. Suzanna Hupp, you know who she was, so you know how we feel in this District.
==================
(Strauss, Pitts, Aycock, and Hupp are Republicans ... this USED TO BE a Democrat District ... no more )

Strauss, help a fellow Republican out ...

#TX residents, call Speaker Strauss (512) 463-1000 to keep #guns on campus amendment OFF #HB 3639

Woods new plan here:

Representative Jimmie Don Aycock, co-author of the HB 3639, took over Dr. Suzanna Hupp's district, (where I live) no doubt you've heard of her... I called and faxed, but I think he already knows how our entire district feels, we got guns out cheer in the country.

I got a chuckle from his female staffer on the phone.
