From the PPA:
Subject: Governor Perry blocking vote on poker bill-Please call now!
Earlier today the Texas House of Representatives was scheduled to vote on HB 222 –- a bill that would license and regulate poker in the state of Texas. I have since learned that this historic moment is being blocked by the Governor Rick Perry.
Please call the Governor’s office today and tell him:(800) 252-9600
· Allow a vote on HB 222
· Texans should be allowed to play Texas Hold’em.
· Don’t block action on this billPlease take immediate action!
Proud to play,

Nice, pinkerton, yes … let’s hit him on multiple fronts. It’s what our opponents are doing, and we know we’re bigger than them!

I wouldn’t think a member of the executive branch could prevent a vote by members of the legislative branch. Admittedly my knowledge of the Texas political system is thin and since Perry is gonna pull yinz out of the Union it’s not a subject I plan on spending much time on.

Bush correctly used the reserves recently when Hurricane Ivan upset the flow from Texas and the Caribbean. Jonah Poker
