I applaud president Bush for his unwavering support for abstinence education. Check out this new website: 4parents.gov.

I emailed and thanked State Representative Jim Dunnam of Waco for taking a stand against any expansion of gambling in the state of Texas. At the same time, I emailed Liz, chief of staff for my State Representative Rafael Anchia and urged him to join his fellow Democratic colleagues to take a stand for Texas families. He has previously indicated that he supported slot machines at horse racetracks because people there are already betting anyway. I hope he will re-consider and do what is good for the people of this great Lone Star state.

Earlier in the week I also called every state representatives on the House Criminal Jurisprudence who were not author or had not signed on to co-author HB823. It's good to see now that it has been voted out of committee with a 6 ayes, 0 nays, and 3 absent.
