Burnam wants pension perk disclosed

Thursday, March 8th, 2012

As reported by the Star-Telegram, apparently long time elected officials are taking pensions from the state to boost their income. This was made apparent when Gov Rick Perry had to post those numbers while running for President. It’s one thing to draw a pension from one business while working for another, but when you draw a pension from the same business you are working for, that is quite another.
It seems that our Governor and some other elected officials are double dipping into their pension fund. This is because they are withdrawing a pension as a state employee and then when they leave office they can get another pension as an elected official.
Here is the article from the Star-Telegram.

I think for most of us, if we could legally get away with it, then why not. But if you are an elected official with a State budget that wound up putting a lot of people out on the street with no job. Could you, as a good christian (as our Governor claims he is), double dip to increase your pay, or would you find ways to save money for your taxpayers?

Primary Election Update

Thursday, March 8th, 2012

Here is some info on the Primary Election process.

The San Antonio three-judge federal panel issued an order setting a May 29th Primary Election and a related administrative calendar for the election.

Of particular importance – the order sets a re-opened filing period for the primary ballot, which will commence on Friday morning, March 2nd at 9:00am and runs through Friday, March 9th at 6:00pm.

So if you are interested in running for office or have previously posted and need to change or withdraw, you will have till the end of the day Friday to get it done.

The first day of the period for a voter to submit an application for an early ballot by
mail for the general primary, or for both the general primary and the runoff election,
as described in Texas Election Code § 84.00 1(d) and (e) and § 84.007, shall be
March 30, 2012

On or before April 25, 2012, the registrar shall issue a voter registration certificate to each voter in the county whose registration will be effective as of the date issued.

What will this mean for the delegate process. For most counties there will be no precinct caucus meeting to decide delegates for the County convention. There are a couple of counties that have expressed interest in doing precinct caucuses in the republican party, but only a couple at this point.
Basically this process for this year will start at the county convention. You will have to swear to voting in the party primary even tho the primary will not be held until a later date.
Resolutions will be allowed to be presented at the convention (we don’t know all the rules yet). Anyone who wishes to participate will be allowed to participate at the county convention. Delegates of course will be chosen for the State convention at the county convention. The biggest difference here is that since the primary will be held after the county convention, this means that all delegates will be uncommitted to the state convention. Depending on whether the rules are written properly this could make a Ron Paul (or any candidate for that matter) takeover of the Texas Delegates a possible chance in this election. It could be possible to lose the popular vote and still win election via the delegates.

Here are some of the new dates….

April 14 or April 21, 2012 District, and County Conventions
May 14-25, 2012 Early Voting for the Primary Election
May 29, 2012 Primary Election Day
June 7-9, 2012 State Convention
July 24-27, 2012 Early Voting for the Primary Runoff Election
July 31, 2012 Primary Runoff Election Day

I will post more info as it becomes available.

Suds, TX COIR Commander re: Update on trial (Jereme)

Friday, March 2nd, 2012

Date: 3/2/2012
From: Suds

Hi all,
Today there was a pretrial hearing and a motion was made to postpone the trial by the defense and accepted. There will be no trial on Monday March 5th as previously set.
Another pretrial hearing is scheduled for Tuesday March 13th, 2012. The defense mentioned something about having trouble locating an “expert witness” .
More updates to come as to when there will be an actual trial.
It was reported that the defendant’s church was there, en masse, and held prayer in the courtroom hallway that “Justice Prevails”.
All I can say to that is “AMEN! Let justice prevail”.

Respect,
~Suds

Important TCOC & I Information (Please Read)

Thursday, March 1st, 2012

Attention DFW Region – Important Court Info about the guy who ran down Jeremy and left him to die (Keith Grant).

Monday Morning March the 5th is the Trial (not a hearing).
This guy ran over Jeremy and left him to die on the side of the road and has shown no remorse and has mocked the bikers who have been attending his hearings.

It is of the utmost “IMPORTANCE” we have as strong a showing as possible and fill every seat in the court house.

There is a hearing at 10:30am in the morning, Friday between the Judge and the defendants Lawyer. Anyone who could attend would be appreciated as well. DFW West Vice –Chairman GOC Skully will be there for the TCOC&I. This could change things for Monday but from conversations with the DA’s office, everything is still a go for Monday. We will let everyone know as soon as possible of any changes.
Again, we are going to need a huge showing for the trial.

The hearing and Trial address is:
204 South Buffalo Street
Cleburne, Texas

For The Trial:
Time needed to be in the parking lot,
No Later than 8am
This is to insure every can get in.

Remind everyone of the dress code,
Please do not wear anything that will take away from
the purpose of being there.
This is about justice being served on behalf of
Jeremy’s family, friends, brothers, sisters and his memory,
NOT ABOUT ANYTHING ELSE!

Jeremy served 3 tours in Iraq and lost a lot of brothers there
and was a disabled veteran from injuries he received in defense of
the county he loved and came home to be run over and left to
die on the side of the road.

If you have the ability to be there it will be appreciated by all
that knew and loved Jeremy.
