As we reported back in Dec. from the Dallas Morning News, Jodie Laubenberg stated she needed to choose her words carefully.

Why is that?

“North Texas conservative state Rep. Jodie Laubenberg supports Speaker Joe Straus’ re-election as the Texas House’s presiding officer, even as outside groups are ratcheting up their rhetoric against Straus and anyone fearless enough to predict he’ll win a third term as speaker next month.

On Tuesday afternoon, Laubenberg, R-Parker, confirmed in a text message that she announced her decision to vote for Straus at a town hall meeting Monday night.

Laubenberg, who was in Austin attending a House committee meeting, declined to elaborate. At first, she cited the press of business. Later, she suggested she needs to choose her words carefully.”

We maybe we will get some answers~

She is going to be on the Wayne Richard show this Sat. and you will not want to miss it. I had the opportunity to be on the Wayne Richard show last Sat. and you can listen to that show, just Click Here.

Jodie Laubenbeg’s interview with Wayne will be an important interview for Jodie as some of her constituents have expressed frustration with her announcement. As have many grassroots/tea party activists from across the state. The scheduled interview will provide Jodie an opportunity to share what her motivation and thoughts are regarding the upcoming vote. www.WayneRichardShow.com

My hope is that Jodie Laubenberg is listening to the people because Your Voices Should Count ~ #SpeakerShowdown is underway in the #Txlege

As Ray Myers says…..

Our elected officials at the state level are discounting your voice. They only listen to you at election time when they need your vote. It is time for that to change.

Make your voice heard by contacting your State Representative and voicing your opinion about the upcoming Speaker of the House election in Austin.

On January 8, your State Rep will cast the most important vote during the entire legislative session. The election of the Speaker of the House will set the agenda for the legislature. The Speaker and his committee selections will determine what legislation passes or fails. This includes the state’s budget, school finance, transportation, immigration, health and human services, and natural resources.

We need a Speaker who reflects the core values of Texans. Let’s keep Texas strong by electing a strong Speaker. Tell your State Representative to vote for David Simpson for Speaker.

The great new site has been launched to make it very easy to find out who your State Rep. is and how to contact them. Click here see the report-then email or call your State Rep.

To reinforce the message that electing a significant margin of conservative House representatives signals voter expectations of conservative House leadership, WomenOnTheWall.org has released Texas Speaker Showdown II – WE’RE BACK! video follow-up to the 2010 Speaker Showdown theme. “Conservative House Speaker Or Your Seat.”

If you are ready to take a stand call your State Representative today Click here to do just that. Tell them to vote for the most Conservative Candidate in the Race for Speaker; David Simpson and then join us in Austin Jan. 7th and 8th.
