the groups often don’t agree on
much. And their agendas some-
times compete with each other.
While some tea party leaders
focus on strengthening Texas’ ban
on gay marriage, tightening immi-
gration policies or fending off the
potential imposition of Sharia law,
others see a greater threat in man-
datory vaccines, red light cameras
or smart electrical meters. Still
others place a high priority on gun
and private property rights.
“Everyone always likes to
think that we’re top-down, but
we’re not,” said Robin Lennon,
president of the Kingwood TEA
Party in suburban Houston.
During the nearly five-
month legislative session, tea
party members had some victo-
ries. Lawmakers legalized con-
cealed handguns on college
campuses and approved allow-
ing handguns to be openly car-
ried virtually everywhere else.
But unhappiness grew after
other issues fizzled.
Rep. Dan Flynn’s bill ex-
empting Texas from daylight
saving time was sidelined amid
concerns that refusing to roll
back the clocks could leave Tex-
ans choosing between church
and watching Dallas Cowboys
games on fall Sundays. Also
dropped was Sen. Donna Camp-
bell’s proposal banning the Ala-
mo from falling under the con-
trol of the United Nations.
The backlash was greatest
over lawmakers’ failure to repeal
Texas’ 2001 law offering in-state
tuition to some college students in
the country illegally, to pass school
vouchers or block an expansion of
pre-kindergarten programs.
‘We’re making our voices very
clearly heard,” said Cathie Adams,
a former Texas Republican Party
chairwoman who now heads the
influential Texas Eagle Forum
conservative grassroots group.
“But they’re ignoring us.”
Patrick, one of the most pow-
erful tea party politicians in elec-
tive office, along with Gov. Greg
Abbott and Texas House Speak-
er Joe Straus were targets of a
scathing letter signed by 28 con-
servative activists decrying “ex-
cuses rather than results” on too
many issues.
By Will Weissert
Associated Press
AUSTIN — Texas can some-
times feel like tea party heaven
— the land of Ted Cruz, where
the Legislature is packed with
hard-right devotees and the gov-
ernor himself heeds fringe fears
about possible federal plots to
seize the state.
But with so much power
comes pressure, and the Texas
Legislature’s tea party leaders
are straggling to deliver on their
most conservative promises. Af-
ter the legislative session that
ended this month, movement
activists were openly unhappy
with the results and have target-
ed a few onetime favorite law-
makers for possible retribution.
“It’s a truth in advertising is-
sue,” said JoAnn Fleming, a state
tea party leader who heads Grass-
roots America — We the People.
“There are some that will likely
pay a political price for caving on
what they said they would do.”
The Texas tea party network is
the nation’s strongest, with four
dozen major conservative groups
representing thousands of active
members. Republicans control
both chambers of the Legislature
and the state Senate is run by Lt.
Gov. Dan Patrick, a former, often
foe-breathing conservative talk
radio host. About a third of the 31
senators are strong tea party voic-
es, while nearly 25 of the Texas
House’s 150 members are conser-
vative grass-roots favorites.
But except for limiting govern-
ment and slashing state spending,
