'Legislators Fired!'
RECEIVED Thu., July 20, 2006
Dear Editor,
“Legislators Fired!” That should be the next headline in newspapers throughout Texas. What a sham our elected officials are. Instead of working for Texas families and their children, they continue their ineptness and special-interest motivations. It is an outrage that so little was accomplished once again in a legislative session, and elected officials must be held accountable by the voters from the governor on down the line. For Texans to permit the ongoing abuse and variable transgressions to continue is a travesty. Voters need to get smart finally and vote out the vermin proliferating at the state Capitol. Furthermore, special interests must be banned from contributing huge dollar amounts to legislative campaigns.
Corruptness and self-profiteering must not continue to be the prerequisites for a career in politics. It's time for Texans to hold elected officials accountable and to take back their Legislature.
