San Antonio’s Non-Discrimination Ordinance Discriminates Against People Of Faith

Issues: 

St. Anthony of Padua on the Riverwalk
Patron Saint of San Antonio

Anti-Christian events in San Antonio are not new. The very perverted Corpus Christi Play at the San Antonio Playhouse opened in 2011 depicting Christ as a homosexual. Very few San Antonio residents voiced their opposition to the play to the city council. Deacon Pat Rogers from the SA Archdiocese did tell me that he and other faith leaders had indeed stood before the city council in opposition and their message fell on deaf ears.

Obamacare and the Rule of Law

With each passing day, it becomes more and more obvious that President Obama’s health-care law is simply unworkable. Yet rather than accept reality and support full congressional repeal of the law, the administration is instead violating Obamacare and applying it selectively.

Black Rep. James White Criticizes Holder and GOP Rep. Sensenbrenner for implying that Texas Restricts Minority Voting Rights

Issues: 

State Representative James White has sent a letter to Republican Congressman James (Jim) Sensenbrenner blasting Sensenbrenner and Eric Holder, and demanding that they stop messing with the 10th Amendment rights of Texas.

Rep. James White, a Texas Tea Party Conservative, knows quite a bit about the voting rights of minorities in Texas because, well, he is a minority in Texas.

Specifically, Rep. White chastized Republican Rep. Sensenbrenner for saying it is okay to put Texas under the unfair preclearance microscope of the Voting Rights Act, while at the same time, 

UNHRC Resolution: 'International Solidarity' In Addressing Poverty

The resolution seeks to ensure the concept of “international solidarity” is included in all efforts to help or aid poor nations,

Montgomery County voters should be fuming at commissioners’ jail actions

Issues: 

In 2006, Montgomery County Commissioners Court unanimously issued $45 million in revenue bonds (no voter approval necessary) to finance the clumsy scheme known as the Joe Corley Jail. Voters were told at the time that the 1,288-bed Joe Corley Jail, built next door to the existing Montgomery County Jail, would “initially house federal inmates” but eventually would meet the “future need for more bed

Is "Refusing to Rule" a New Form of Judicial Activism?

Issues: 

Judicial Activism?  No Decision IS a DecisionIt seems a trend of judicial activism is growing in our federal courts. Judges have apparently learned they can advance their own agenda through what appears to be a new form of judicial activism - doing nothing! Judge Robert Gerber in the Southern District of New York Bankruptcy Courts has been doing this for years by not ruling on motions before him in the LyondellBasell bankruptcy case. Now it seems Washington, DC Federal District Judge Amy Berman Jackson has learned this trick in relation to the Contempt of Congress charges filed against U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder.

Houston City Council Poised to Attack Wage Theft, Payroll Fraud and Misclassification

Houston City HallTexasGOPVote has been reporting on issues regarding wage theft, payroll fraud and employee misclassification for several years now. Recently the Texas Legislature passed legislation to help clamp down on some companies that are misclassifying their workers as independent contractors instead of employees. This practice cheats the taxpayers of Texas and creates an unfair business competitive advantage over companies that follow the law. Now the Houston City Council is considering passing an ordinance to crack down on unethical companies who cheat employees out of hard earned wages.

An article by Laura Perez-Boston on ConstructionCitizen.com reports that a grassroots coalition of workers from 34 business and civic organizations have
