It sounds to me like she regrets that one - 'rookie mistake' was the feeling I had on this topic. Vince was very supportive/understanding of my strong opposition to the 'some pigs are more equal than others' thrust of this bill.
-- she is generally in support of 681 & 750, but is planning on offering an amendment to 750 to allow UT Health Science Center to opt out (which I disagree with, but I'm sure she's got more pressure on that issue than I can counter). Vince says she's also generally in favor of HB 681 as well, but is taking a measured approach to her moves on the bill.

So, I'm generally optimistic, but will continue to monitor.

She has signed on to one anti 2nd amendment and She is looking to water another down? Once the let one leak through everyone will be looking for one. It looks to me that she is enemy and needs a few letters ,emails and phone calls from her constituents. Perhaps if she can't stand the pressure she really shouldn't be in office. If she isn't wiling to stand up for a basic human right what does she stand for? If she doesn't investigate a bill before she co-authors one she is more than borderline incompetent

She STRONGLY opposes both and she claims to be a Republican. Don't buy her staff's story. At this point she will not sign on to either bill, but people in HB134 need to let her know that she needs to vote for both bills, even if she doesn't sign-on.

Again, be polite but let her staff know these are non-discretionary votes; vote for both bills!
