Bills We Are Watching
Many of those bills could and should be combined into one bill. This would aid in getting it passed and not have some passed and some not passed creating a hodge podge of laws that in some instances could contradict each other.
89th (2025) Session Bills: The continuing attempt to solve problems that should never have occurred. What could go wrong?
Almost daily, I hear or read someone spouting off about COVID did this . . . , COVID did that . . . , it was because of COVID . . . . Wake up! This is giving human characteristics to a non-human phenomenon. I’m still waiting for “COVID” to call a news conference and tell everyone to test when you have a sniffle, wear a mask, social distance and get vaccinated, plus issue decrees to restrict and prohibit city- county- region- state- nation- and world-wide movement, assembly and commerce. This is what AUTHORITARIAN TYRANTS did. Humans. Our so-called representatives of the people. The folks who only represent themselves and lobby money.
Bills TFVC supports: These bills are authoritarian tyrants opposing other authoritarian tyrants.
Bills TFVC opposes: These bills are authoritarian tyrants supporting other authoritarian tyrants.
Once again, Texas legislators are ignoring their No. 1 job: Secure and protect self-ownership and property rights. Is “My Body, My Choice” a group right or a individual right? Since there is no such thing as “group” rights, then this mantra must be a universal individual right. This is sacred. Keep it wholly. No legislation is needed. These proposed new laws are like today’s product and services advertising: What the ad giveth, the fine print taketh away.
Thank you.
