Tarrant Chapter.. TMRA 2

Yep.. The monthly Chapter meeting is tomorrow night, Wednesday.. You just
gotta be there.. Preacher left the message on my voice mail and there was an
e-mail in my inbox from Elmer McKeeghan/Sputnik, this morning.. We've got
one Senator in Austin who is fighting a losing battle to get this corporate
welfare Bill killed .. The Bill is the brainstorm of gov.Goodhair and Tom
Craddick.. Looks like the word got out just a little too late, but that one
Senator is standing tall and fighting against some formidable odds to kill
this outrageous Bill that puts more financial burdens on the middle and low
income taxpayers in Texas..

It's not the end of the road, but the end is in sight..

Mike Alvey will be chairing again, and I will guarantee that he'll provide
enough information on the Bill to curl anyone's hair.. Wanna get involved
with a group of real Bikers that are trying to make a difference for all of
us, get to it and get 'er done.. Those Warriors attending this meeting are
THE ones, you can count on.. It'll be a good thing to fellowship with all of
them and I'll guarantee, you'll come away feeling encouraged.. See all of
you, there..

Your Friend in Irving
Bill Walker

 

Yeah, they are THE ones to count on to get absolutely NO legislation
passed....with your expert help, of course <chuckle>

 

Well since you know how its done and was there getting it done, let us know
all the legislation you got passed.

 

LOL....Nice try, Elmer. Now, do tell us what legislation...that Billy boy
supported....got passed in the last two sessions. Hell, tell us what
legislation EVER passed with Billy's help.

 

After a week long wait for an answer.....


That's what I thought, Elmer, that's what I thought. Make sure your boys
have thier "ducks" in a row before you go defending thier stupid shit.

 

Sorry about the wait I was out of touch for two weeks. I really shouldn't
have bothered answering this since I did leave town the next day and I did
leave you all without any responses from me, sorry about that, however I'm
back in town now.

The question I posed to you which you quickly ignored was what have you done
that makes you such an expert. You were quick to attack others for trying
and I wanted to know what bills you've gotten passed. If you are that expert
then please enlighten us on your accomplishments.
As far as my ducks, well here they are and they do line up pretty much ok.
Now I'm not going to bother with the 2003 session since there was a break in
the quorum and that killed everything towards the end of the session, both
good and bad. So I'll stick with the 2005, even tho that session was pretty
lame even with everyone there.
Now I know Bill was in Austin to help support a few bills this session. Now
I wasn't in Austin as often as Bill so I don't know what other bills he was
supporting besides the ones we were trying to get passed. We failed on some
bills and did get another passed, we also defeated some we didn't want
passed. Sometimes what you are able to kill is more important that what you
pass.
But with the groups help (which does include Bill and many others) we were
able to defeat the
HB50
Subject: Relating to the authority of certain local law enforcement agencies
to establish a checkpoint on a highway

HB309
Subject: Relating to the authority of certain law enforcement agencies to
establish a checkpoint on a highway or street

SB25
Subject: Relating to the authority of certain law enforcement agencies to
establish a checkpoint on a highway or street



What did get passed.

SB1311
Subject: Relating to the establishment of an all-terrain vehicle trail and
recreational area program


I know that Bill did attend at least two public hearings for bills when he
was asked to show up. Since according to Texas legislature notification only
has to be posted 24 hours in advance, its great when enough of the
supporters show up to make a difference. I know in the first public meeting
I attended this session we had laid the ground work but the support of the
public hearing made the difference in getting the bill out of committee.

So I've answered the question about what Bill helped out on. Not as
grandiose as one may have hoped, but this is Texas politics and we'll go
back next session and try once again. It has taken us more than one try on
each bill to get them passed.

Now you answer the question about the legislation you helped get passed, all
the public hearings you attended.
