It is worthy of my consideration IF I know who is originating it. Without that and a justification for it, I'm on the sidelines observing. :tiphat:

It was not initiated by me. It was initiated by the Tea Party of Texas. The petitions will be sent to the Representatives of those who sign, which should give some indication of the strength of the opposition to another Strauss reign.

Someone needs to reach out to the sponsor of that petition and tell them they need to put their name and contact info on it before ill put mine on it.
The linked page is completely anonymous. No bueno for a petition on any serious topic.

I reached out to him. Here's the email I got, in its entirety. It was sent by Ken Emanuelson <K@grassrootstexas.mojo4m.com>.
Do you support a change from left-leaning Texas House Speaker Joe Straus? If so, please review and sign the petition:



RESOLUTION CALLING FOR A CHANGE OF SPEAKER OF THE TEXAS HOUSE



WHEREAS the Republican members of the Texas House of Representatives campaigned on clear and unmistakable promises to support the passage of conservative legislation in the Texas House, and



WHEREAS the people of Texas, who elected a large majority of House Republicans on November 4, 2014, sent a clear and unmistakable signal in support of the conservative agenda promised by the Republican House candidates, and



WHEREAS the current Speaker of the Texas House. Joe Straus, has been elected three times with the unanimous support of the House Democrats, and



WHEREAS Joe Straus has used his power as Speaker, time and again, to appoint left-leaning Democrat and Republican committee chairs and to prevent popular conservative legislation from receiving a vote or even a hearing,



THEREFORE,



The undersigned Texas Voters strongly urge all Texas House members to vote to replace Speaker Joe Straus with a true conservative who will appoint conservative committee chairs and support, rather than oppose, conservative legislation.



PLEASE CLICK HERE TO SIGN THE PETITION:
