Patrick to GOP: My Will Be Done in 2011

In today’s 4 o’clock hour of Sen. Dan Patrick (R-7)’s KSEV drive-time radio show, the Texas Senate sophomore-to-be put Republicans on notice that it is time to act like a majority.

Required Reading on Houston Proposition 3: Say No to Red Light Cameras

I don’t care about the snake oil Edd Hendee and KSEV are selling these days: Red light cameras do NOT save lives, and they are nothing more than an unconstitutional tax.

But, you don’t have to take my word for it (cue the Levar Burton, Reading Rainbow sound effects).  Read Philip Owens’ ‘Keep Houston Scared is at it again‘ over at Big Jolly Politics and be prepared to be schooled.

Vote NO on Houston Proposition 3. Real conservatives don’t support red light cameras.
