I just read a summary of HR 5 which according to the Congressional website says that the bill, and I quote, will "..... improve patient access to health care services and provide improved medical care by reducing the excessive burden the liability system places on the health care delivery system." What does this mean?  Kay Granger voted for it. I read that this bill, if passed by Senate, would eliminate a panel set up to monitor and control Medicare, a panel created under the Obama Health Care bill. So once again Kay Granger shows her true colors by voting for a bill that essentially helps doctors and screws seniors. Way to go Kay. 

I see in the Star Telegram which I read online that the Texas delegation led by Senator Hutchinson may have convinced the Air Force not to move the C130s at the Joint Reserve Base in Fort Worth to Montana. Kudos to them. One must give credit where credit is due. Me, a democrat praising the mostly Republican Texas Delegation. I wonder if Republicans could do the same thing. If a Democrat proposes or supports a good plan or idea, would Republicans support it. So far they have shown that they would not. That's why I would be better for Texas than Kay Granger. She is too wrapped up in ideology to support a good idea if it comes from the other side of the aisle. Dave Robinson for Congress: Texas District 12. www.daverobinsonforcongress.org

Still on the Cape taking care of my 92 year old dad. Will return to the Texas to resume my run for Congress in early April. Received a survey request in the mail from some right to work group that hates unions. People forget the unions created the middle class in this country, with the help of socially minded corporations. Any of those still around? If you work for a company where a union negotiates contract including salary and benefits then I don't think its unreasonable that you should have to join that union. Otherwise you are just piggybacking off their efforts, contributing nothing yourself. Why do some people think this is unreasonable?

So the Air Force plans to move all 8 C130s from the Joint Reserve base in Fort Worth to Great Falls Montana. Governor good hair is protesting the move. I support the governor in his efforts (wow, it's hard for me today that). The Star Telegram also said that the Texas congressional delegation is also protesting the move. How could it be more profitable to move these planes to the middle of nowhere? Kay Granger has not commented, but I would hope that she is working behind the scenes to keep those planes.  I would be, but I would also be keeping my constituents informed. There is not enough information coming out of Congress to the people of this country.

Glad to see that under the new redistricting plan (still a work in progress) that Senator Wendy Davis will retain her district in tact, an obvious recognition by the Republicans that their attempt to redraw districts so only Republicans can get elected is an absurdity.

I just read that the House will vote next week on a  republican bill that would allow ANY employer on their health plans to deny birth control coverage to their employees. In what world is this a good idea? Will Kay Granger support this bill? Bet she does.

Texas Rep Joe Barton wants to move minorities out of his district and move them into Rep Bernice Johnson's district in Dallas. What is that about? Rep Joe might say that would give minorities more of a voice. My question is how would moving them to Dallas give them more of a voice? It seems that it would give minorities more of a voice by moving more blacks and hispanics into his district to make a real race possible. If I'm elected to the House I would work to make more districts evenly matched politically to insure real races in every district rather than protecting career politicians like Joe B and Kay Granger.
