Legislative Update

The March 2nd Primary is upon us. Its time to vote and take part in the delegate process. This means you need to show up at the polls at 7pm and let them know you are there for the Precinct meeting.
We must get lots of people to become delegates in both parties so we can remind our legislators that we are always there to watch them.
Also we need lots of delegates in order to get our resolution passed.
Take at least 5 copies of the resolution to the precinct meeting so if it passes you can put a copy in each envelope going to the party headquarters. Don't fret if you can't get it to pass in your precinct. It's alright to feel dejected (lets them know you care), but be gracious, and remember other bikers are doing this all over the state and someone somewhere will get it passed at least to their county level.
Below is the link to the resolution.

Vote then pass it on!!



Obama's new Attorney General, Eric Holder, has already said this is one of his major issues. He does not believe the 2ndAmendment gives individuals the right to bear arms. This takes literally 2 clicks to complete. Please vote on this gun issue question with USA Today. It will only take a few seconds of your time. Then pass the link on to all the pro gun folks you know.

Hopefully these results will be published later this month. This upcoming year will become critical for gun owners with the Supreme Court's accepting the District of Columbia case against the right for individuals to bear arms.

An Open Letter to Sarah Palin About Rick Perry From Independent Texans

Dear Sarah:

We been trying to reach you ever since we heard that you're going to be in Texas during the Super Bowl this Sunday to support our Governor's run for yet another term. Please don't treat us like you treated President George HW Bush, who called you twice but never got a call back. Some people say you did that for political reasons, others say you just ain't got no home training. We really don't know what to think.

We just wanted you to know that Texans have been planning a Tea Party for Rick Perry in Galveston Bay ever since the good Governor tried to carry out the largest private land grab in US history for the Trans- Texas Corridor. Texans have been trying to give back a little piece of the hell Rick Perry has been giving to us for the last 8 years.

Everybody's talking about why you are coming here if you're really a tea partier. Then we heard you were getting paid to appear. Well at least somebody's getting paid around here.

Mrs. Palin, maybe you don't have time to return a few phone calls.

Maybe you should just butt out and let Texans settle up with Rick Perry.

Respectfully,

Linda Curtis, Independent Texans

Please put on your website and pass along as best you can!

We received several reports of Riders from out of state moving into Texas and being required to take the Rider Training Course to renew their MC classification on their Drivers License. We called John Young at the DPS Motorcycle Rider Training Division and he informed us he was getting calls on that problem also.

By checking with the Drivers License Division we were informed that was how their Legal Staff told them SB 1967 had to be interpreted. An out of state licensee was a first time license in Texas and required proof of having taken the Training Program. We contacted Senator Carona’s Office and requested a “Letter of Intent” that stated that was not the intent of that Bill. He agreed to furnish the requested document. We were then informed that the License bureau’s Legal Staff would not accept a Letter of Intent to change their ruling.

We then contacted Representative Chavez’s office and requested the same type letter figuring to use the two letters to file a lawsuit the next time we heard of a rider moving into Texas and being told they had to take the course to renew their license. Then I recalled how well we had worked with Colonel Beckworth when he was Chief at DPS and called him. I explained the problem and he assured me he would look into the matter.

Just got off the phone with Colonel Beckworth on his return call. He informed us he had with Colonel McCraw and their Legal Staff and they would allow out of state riders to renew their license without the course.

He said they will send out a Memo to all Driver License Offices tomorrow telling them of the decision. He then asked that we clarify the Bill in the next session. I assured him it would be done.

If anyone has trouble please contact John Young at the Rider Training Course 512-424-2021 or Sputnik 512-971-6777.

MERRY CHRISTMAS
