The Governor is so far removed by distance, suffers from an Elite Class Delusional Cyber- Universe, and grandiose dreams of becoming the next President of the United States of America; he has attacked his own people with federal funding and Military Aircraft while ignoring a State of emergency concerning brutal killings and torture in the bordering Districts of Texas.
The Texas Governor is internationally known as the "Backbone of Anti-American Human Rights Resentment” created by his dangerous rhetoric and total disregard of executive orders of both President George W. Bush, President Barack Obama, and the International Community.
President Bush Instructed the Governor of Texas State Courts to give 51 Mexican Nationals facing the Death Penalty new hearings that never happened! Governor Rick Perry formed the backbone of Anti-American Resentment within months of becoming Governor of Texas replacing George Bush after his election to the President of The United States in the year 2000.
Blame is now unduly placed on Internet postings by brave concerned citizens of Mexico and Texas residents of bordering districts of the Republic of Mexico, begging for aid and assistance by blog postings which have become the only means of contemporary communications to report the brutal atrocities of innocent people of both nations. The FBI office is swamped with telephone calls and the Internet has become the only way to protect ourselves. Now is a good time to test FEMA! Is the 911 Act "Keeping Us Safer?"
He has forced legislation to defend his own right “to keep and bear arms” with bizarre rodeo media ads, that have in fact forced the people of Texas to disarm themselves for fear of a Perry Police State unwarranted wiretapping [Hacking] that have been known to trigger a search and sizer of weapons legally registered by Texas residents to protect their families, themselves, and property [Reported to Congressman Henry Cuellar District 28th].
We request the State of Texas to arm its own citizens at the states expense and provide training for self-defense just as the President of Mexico has instructed his defense department.

Mexicans on Death Row to Get Hearings: Bush Tells Texas Courts to Review Cases of 51 Denied Consular Aid By Charles Lane Washington Post Staff Writer, Tuesday, March 8, 2005 "The Bush administration has announced that it will attempt to defuse a long- simmering international dispute over the death penalty by instructing Texas state courts to give 51 Mexicans facing the death penalty new hearings on their claims that they were denied meetings with diplomats from their nation, in violation of international law."

Death Penalty Information Center Foreign Nationals News and Developments - Previous Years (by Mark Warren of Human Rights Watch) Mexico Mobilizes to Oppose Texas Execution (July, 2002) "The ministry's chief legal adviser, Juan Manuel Gomez, said that all ordinary legal means to halt the execution of Suarez, now 33, were exhausted at the end of June. That leaves the possibility of persuading Texas Gov. Rick Perry to grant clemency, something Gomez admitted was unlikely. But he said Mexico would try to find ways to reopen the case under the argument that Texas authorities violated international law by failing to inform Suarez of his right to get help from the Mexican consulate when he was detained. Suarez is set to die Aug. 14. This argument, the official said, was the basis of a recent ruling in Oklahoma in favor of Gerardo Valdez, another Mexican sentenced to death. It would also form the backbone of a petition to the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights."

"It was the second time that the highest United Nations court has ruled that the United States violated the 1963 Vienna Convention, which protects foreigners accused of serious crimes. In 2001, Arizona ignored a court order to stay the execution of a German citizen." "Although the court dealt specifically with the cases of 52 Mexicans, it cautioned the principle should apply to all foreigners imprisoned for serious crimes. There are 121 foreign citizens on death row in the United States, 55 of whom are Mexican, according to the Death Penalty Information Center."

A critique to the public concerning trash left behind after visiting Old Pue Road River Access where the Medina River meets West 1604, in South West Bexar County. I was a part of a group of South Side Fisherman who made a plea to Texas Senator Hutchinson concerning the difficulties to access large tracks of land owned by the public such as Niches of Nature created by the construction of bridges;specifically, the 1604 Medina River crossing on the west side of Bexar County also serving the North Side of Atascosa County and West Side Medina County.
There are three high schools in this area, and many of these children never spend time in the outdoors because most land in Texas is privately owned and accessible to only the wealthy few who pay a lower tax rate than anyone else; however, enjoy more Civil Liberties than the Majority of Texans.
Sometimes, encroaching development gives back to community such as the construction of the 1 mile 1604 bridge crossing replacing the Old Pue Road bridge that spans the Medina River on the west side of San Antonio. There are very few places on the South Side of San Antonio area that a family can go and harvest Texas Pecans, Texas Wild Grapes, Fish, Swim, and Hike or just kick back and reflect about the wonders of nature which is my personal passion.
Please consider the next time you visit this area to bring a trash bag with you and remove, not just items you would discard, but some of the trash that others have carelessly left behind. I know the first thing that comes to mind is River access on the North Side of Texas is always in the News and the South Side is forgotten or never mentioned. So I thought I would write something for US!
Why It Concerns Me:
a. Because Barack Obama, the President of The United States of America told me to do so via a general email to all Americans, "There are so many ways to get involved, and every American can do something. You can join me in participating in the National Day of Service by finding a service opportunity in your area on Serve.gov."
Note: I did not like the theme of the uTube video put out by the Sheriffs Association, "The President of the United States cannot tell us what to do." Oh yes he can! We are a Nation Transformed and We The People will not tolerate the insolence of a Police State any longer. You can bet your pay check I have already made that call and reported you treasonous Commies. You are starting to sound like that crazed governor of Texas playing his fiddle while Texas burns!
b. We could lose access to this area if we do not police our own behavior!
c. I am a registered Texas Horned Lizard Watch Volunteer who documents sittings of the famous near extinct Texas Horny Toad for the Texas Wildlife diversity Program 4200 Smith School Road, Austin, Texas 78744 www.tpwd.state.tx.us/tracker .
Since 1999, I have seen one Horny Toad on a Texas rural dirt road leading to the famous Chalk Bluff River Side park in Real County Texas.

d. The rare Guadalupe River Bass, mentioned in Senator Cornyn's article "Celebrating Texas' Great Outdoors" can be found in the waters below the Medina Dam in this area. Warning to fisherman - Catch and release is the only way this species will survive! Citation: http://cornyn.senate.gov/publi...
e. There are 100rds of acres of private land which belongs to the public that is blocked off to the public on the South Side of Town. Why should the State of Texas allow us our liberties to enjoy nature if we do not keep it free from human pollution by discarding our trash anywhere we please?
A group of poverty stricken South Side San Antonio fisherman, as me as their proxy, made a plea to Congressman Ciro Rodrigues via Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison to reopen this Public Area approximately 15 Acers of River, Streams, Pecan Groves, trails, and Texas Wild Grapes.
You're Representatives in Congress and the U.S. Senate responded with a used car parking rail, a trash can, and the construction of a rock wire-mess wall to stop the sand from washing out the bridge.
The protective wire mess wall was designed by the Texas Highway Department in such a way that any healthy person can access the Medina River south of the Medina Dam. We thank you.
I now see children hiking with their parents in those same areas of untouched natural resources with big smiles of adventure as they prove to themselves that there is a forest beyond the tress!
I and other Texans would like to develop some of these areas with profit making concessions that will help preserve Nature and Our Right to enjoy them. Privatizing the concessions of these areas is a stroke to the heart strings of any True Texas Republican.
Tell me, how can I approach the Texas Department of Agriculture if their counter argument is that the People on the South Side of San Antonio have no respect for their natural resources? Hey, that's what they are saying about the People on the North Side - I Know We Can Do Better!
We can start by giving the Park a name such as a green highway sign that reads "The Park With No Name" or if you would like an entrepreneur like me to take ownership and responsibility with no cost to the State of Texas, you can name it after me "O'Dell Park." When you make a citizen of the State the responsible party, he/she takes ownership that will ensure access to Texas Public land and the preservation of Niches in Nature by defending Our Right to enjoy them!
God Blessed Texas with Natural Resources. Please help preserve public lands. The Best Things In Life Are Free!
It's sad but true that Rick Perry has lingered in the Governor's seat for more than any other human being in the history of Texas, and we have very little to show for it.
Perry has never been about what is best for Texas, and he's always been about what is best for Perry's cronies.
Now, I can understand why Perry is avoiding this question, but why are our democratic candidates?
"Texas is headed for a lot of financial pain come 2012 and 2013.
This is one of the chief issues that all candidates ought to be discussing. Our state's budget is looking as unsustainable as the federal one - how will they fix that?"
Tonight, at the monthly meeting of the Smith County Democratic Club in Tyler, Hank Gilbert announced his candidacy for Texas Governor.
As an attendee at the event, I must say that I was quite surprised, as I believe the rest of the crowd was as well. Having seen quite a bit of Hank over the last two weeks, everything was pointing to another run for agriculture commissioner.
The reaction to Hank's announcement here in Smith County, which is his home base, was quite enthusiastic.
As a result, the Democratic field for governor now consists of Gilbert, Tom Schieffer, Mark Thompson, and Kinky Friedman.
After a lot of talk about who would declare next for the race, we now have an answer. Who will be next? Any thoughts?
While the news earlier today that Kirk Watson has passed on a Gubernatorial bid will get most of the headlines, an overlooked story from yesterday could ultimately play a huge role in determining who will be the Democratic nominee next year.
The Austin American-Statesman story began, "A little known Fort Worth resident plans to run for governor next year " .... but they're not talking about Tom Schieffer.
Instead, the candidate in question is Felix Alvarado, a high school geography teacher who would have run for governor in 2006 had his filing fee check not bounced. Now, assuming his check clears, Alvarado will a candidate in 2010.
Alvarado's entry makes him the only Latino in the race and in turn, given recent Democratic primary history, a serious contender to win the nomination.
Alvarado could be another Victor Morales, the high school teacher who drove his pick up truck to a surprise victory over incumbent Congressmen John Bryant and Jim Chapman in the 1996 U.S. Senate Democratic primary. Morales ran again in 2002 and topped another Congressman -- this time Ken Bentsen -- and went on to lose the runoff to Ron Kirk.
Or he could be another Maria Luisa Alvarado, who happens to be his sister. She easily defeated former State Rep. and 6th Court of Appeals Justice Ben Z. Grant in the 2006 Lt. Governor Democratic primary runoff.
Depending which races are on the ballot, South Texas has had disproportionately high turnout in Democratic primaries. For example, in the 2006 Democratic primary, Webb County had almost as many votes as Dallas County and had nearly twice the amount that Tarrant County had. In the subsequent runoff that Alvarado won, Webb's vote totals were almost as high as the combined totals from Dallas and Harris counties.
A look at the map from the Alvarado-Grant runoff from the US Election Atlas, which Alvarado won with 58 percent of the vote, shows the huge influence that South Texas had on the race. Although Grant won nearly every one of the state's major metropolitan counties, Maria Luisa Alvarado carried the border region by huge margins and went on to a 16 point victory.
Schieffer's campaign has actually done some good early work in the Rio Grande Valley, securing the endorsements of former Cameron County Judge Gilberto Hinojosa and the Texas Association of Hispanic County Judges and County Commissioners.
Whether Felix Alvarado will be able to go from unknown to Democratic nominee like others have remains to be seen, but the potential, especially if a better known Democrat does not enter the race, is certainly there.
"You know, they're telling us which cars to buy and which light bulbs to use now. But they ought not be telling us whether we can go to Baptist, Methodist, whichever one. But it is quite different and, I would say, extreme, to say that our laws should not be inspired and informed by the views of the faithful. Freedom of religion is not to be confused with freedom from religion."
-- Texas Governor Rick Perry (Sunday August 2) in remarks at a San Antonio church
Excuse me Rick, but the term "Freedom of Religion" does not appear anywhere in the Constitution or Bill of Rights. The first amendment reads, "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof..." People use "Freedom of Religion" as a colloquial term to describe the rights granted under the First Amendment.
Rick, the First amendment gives you the right to practice your religious beliefs without interference from the government. I also have the right to practice my religious beliefs with out interference from the government.
You mock the government, of which you are apart, implying that THEY force us to buy goods we do not want; yet you and your cohorts demand that a Jewish Child attending a Public School should be required to pray to your Savior.
Rick, Freedom of Religion means I have a freedom from YOUR religion.
Though I haven't made any sort of decision in this race (considering it is still early), I figured this would be something people in the Austin community would like to know about. It should prove to be a great opportunity to meet our only declared candidate for the Governor's Mansion:
Come meet Democratic Gubernatorial candidate Tom Schieffer at Scholz Beer Garten. Enjoy a cold drink and meet Tom Schieffer, former State Legislator, Texas Rangers Baseball President, and United States Ambassador to Australia and Japan, as he launches his campaign to become the Texas Democratic Party's nominee for Governor in 2010.
