Texas GOP Vote

Eric Holder's Department of Justice Opposes a Beaumont Texas School District Election because too many white people voted and tries to block election using Voting Rights Act.

Beaumont, TX is a city where the majority of the residents are minorities. Beaumont ISD has a majority of school board members who are minorities. Minorities are WELL represented in this city and in this school district.

Recently, the residents of BISD voted to change the school board from being seven single member districts to being five single member school>

In a letter to Attorney General Eric Holder, I questioned the decision of Obama administration officials to challenge South Carolina’s voter ID law. I was joined in sending the letter by two Judiciary Committee members, Senator Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) and Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-S.C.).

In 2011, South Carolina enacted a law to prevent voter fraud by requiring voters to present a photo ID at the polls. The ID is free and anyone with a reasonable impediment to obtaining the ID may vote after completing an affidavit. South Carolina is covered by

A Washington D.C. Court has ruled against a Texas Voter ID Law and has also ruled against the latest Texas Redistricting Maps. The rulings are a result of Obama's DOJ leader Eric Holder's unconstitutional, race-based attacks against Republican-led Texas. These rulings are really just formalities that bring us one step closer to the U.S. Supreme Court striking down section 5 of the Voting Rights Act.   Read more »

Many, including this writer, have lamented the tyranny oft-imposed by the judicial branch on the rest of us. Such abuses have included “Alice in Wonderland” interpretations such as:

• The Voting Rights Act of 1965 being currently interpreted such that minorities (whites) can now be “packed” into districts (a practice expressly forbidden by the act itself), and that Democratic districts (not racial ones) must be somehow “protected”. 

I have stated in past articles that Texas needs to sue the DOJ because Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act is unconstitutional.

My Dreams are finally coming true!

Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott, on behalf of the State of Texas, has Sued Eric Holder and the Department of Justice! Greg Abbott, in his legal motion, directly challenges the constitutionality of Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act in response to the DOJ rejecting the Texas Voter ID Law.

With the Supreme Court already set to hear a challenge to the Voting Rights Act this year in a case out of Alabama, this challenge from Texas is more ammo needed to get the Supreme Court to declare

Today is “Super Tuesday,” and Texans SHOULD be voting. However, due to the redistricting challenges, Texas voters will be voting almost three months later on May 29 and will likely have little to say about our presidential nominee. Texas holds the second highest cache of delegates to the Republican National Convention with 155 (behind California’s 172).

The State of Texas is under assault by the Department of Justice and the Voting Rights Act. All this Texas redistricting mess (and the pushing back of the Primary Election date) is due to section 5 of the Voting Rights Act which requires a few states to have any voting changes approved by the Department of Justice first (because somehow it is better to have one unelected, biased person, the Attorney General Eric Holder, decide how a state runs elections instead of the elected officials of the state determining it for themselves).   Read more »

AUSTIN---Texas House Speaker Joe Straus (R-San Antonio) today issued the following statement on the federal court's proposed House redistricting map:

"As the panel of three federal judges prepares to issue its ruling on district lines for the Texas House of Representatives, I hope that the judges will take into account the will of the people of Texas as expressed by their elected representatives.

The 1960s was a volatile decade. The U.S. experienced changes that pushed the country into the forefront of international recognition for being a Superpower that eyed down a war that almost was. On the domestic front, the population was changing with voices of citizens eagerly wanting to be counted in the voting polls. In the South, this change also brought resistance that caused rioting and violence, and that was all too familiar of previous struggles that our nation had experienced during the Civil War. In Selma, Alabama, the riots and deaths of many were beginning to divide the country into that of color:
