The new life breathed into the
bullet train by last week’s action of
the Texas High Speed Rail Authority
has signalled a strong upcoming
battle in the Texas Legislature.
Several legislators will introduce
bills to curtail the bullet train but
'they must pass and be signed into
law to become effective.
With this challenge in mind, folks
in some 13 Texas counties have
begun gathering resources for the
decisive fight
DERAIL (Demanding Ethics
Responsibility Accountability In
Legislation) groups in various
conuties have been coordinating the
effort and are now getting ready for
the upcoming regular term of the
Legislature.
The groups have retained a
coordinator to keep track of the bills
and steer them through.

Thanksgiving is a traditional and strictly American Holiday,
an observance derived directly from events taking place on
these shores. It is relaxed enjoyment of fruits of one's labor,
the end of the harvest and in some ways, a pause to look
ahead. Tradition says those early Pilgrims were helped by
their neighbors and together, they shared their accomplish-
ments. Hundreds of years later, our nation pauses for this
unique always-on-Thursday Holiday. The situation is a bit dif-
ferent, though. Many people, probably about 40%
nationally, await hopefully but with gnawing feelings that
they've been suckered in once again by political promises.
They have believed government will make them better off
than they were four years ago, that those wonderful misun-
derstood magicians in Congress will shower all with the good
life once the threat of an Executive Branch veto disappears.
Al Gore said the noise he was hearing was the cracking or the
breaking up of "gridlock,” a new word for slapping the wrists
of pork barrelers. Gore, jokingly referred to as “Ozone Al” for
his fear of auto exhaust fumes and as “Pine Cone" for his
wooden personality, is wrong about the noise he hears. The
noise is the grinding of teeth of folks who know what's really
going to happen and those who hope it doesn’t. One initial
clatter of noise probably came from that crew of ex-military
figures who followed Slick Willie around on the campaign en-
dorsing him. Well, the first gift from the new regime has
been gays officially in the military. That'll give the old ad-
mirals and generals something to talk about at reunions.
Folks have waited for great expectations before and
probably always will. On April 8,1845, General Sam Houston,
the first President of The Republic of Texas, wrote a letter
expressing his views on the annexation of Texas as a state in
the United States. It is remarkable in its foresight as to what
the understanding should be. Houston favored annexation
but only with a clear understanding of conditions. However,
he said “there are individuals in Texas.... men who wish to
live upon the means of government, without labor, and feast
and riot upon the substance of the people." Even in the glory
days of the Republic there were those who waited for the
goodies and all the promises that could be heaped on the
backs of regular folks. This Thanksgiving, Americans will
gather with the peaceful knowledge that we’ve come this far.
accomplished many things, taking pride in those accomplish
ments and won't take kindly to those who mock the
American effort.
