13. Right now most important thing: PUT THOSE DISTRICTS BACK
Edited on Fri Dec-02-05 06:17 AM by LynneSin
There is plenty of time if they do it now to put back the districts in Texas to the first redistricted plan that was decided after 2000 (Pre-Tom Delay).

There has been a gross injustice to millions of people in Texas who have been redistricted so that minorities did not have fair represenation because minorities usually favor democrats.

When the Texas State Legislature couldn't agree on a redistricting plan after 2000, it went to the courts and it was remapped. That is the maps that should be used because it was fair and impartial.

With another 12 months until the election for those seats there is plenty of time to put the map back the way it was and change the elections (send the bill to Tom Delay since he fucked it up in the first place)

Edit Note: This is also good because we get back those 5 seats stolen from us.
