Homeland Security Issue? :-)
From http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=storyu=/ap/20030728/ap_on_re_us/texa s_redistricting_2 Democratic state lawmakers fled Texas on Tuesday for the second time in three months to thwart a Republican drive to redraw the state's congressional districts. Eleven of the 12 Democrats in the state Senate left for Albuquerque, N.M., as a first special session called by the governor to address redistricting drew to a close and he called a second special session, scheduled to begin Wednesday. The second session could last as long as 30 days. Does anyone outside of the Texas governor's mansion or the Republican house leadership still consider this to be a threat to national security?

The first special session of the Texas senate failed to redistrict. So the governor called a second special session - after promising not to.

I'm just sick of it. I wish that Perry would just quit on the whole redistricting thing, because I believe that if anything passes, it *will* be challenged in court, and waste even more state money, provided by taxpayers, of which I am one, and if the state attorney general said the court-drawn map was OK and adequite, why doesn't anyone believe him?
