TAKE TEXAS BACK!
A bunch of thieves, thugs, and nutcases took over Texas. Then they used it as a stepping stone to Washington, DC.

They raided our treasury, stripped our schools and handed it all to their corporate cronies.

Y'all ready to do something about it?

John Cornyn's Love Fest with Big Money. What It Means for You and Me.

( - promoted by boadicea)

In Part I of this series I strongly asserted that the voting records of Texas Republican lawmakers, both in Austin and Washington, have demonstrated their collective dismissive and egregious disregard regard for their average Texas constituents.   I argued that this group of sorry excuses for leaders are motivated by greed and greed alone.  In Part II I disclosed the cozy relationships John Cornyn shares with his donors in big oil, insurance, banking and super lobbyists such as Jack Abramoff. Part III ( http://www.texaskaos.com/showD...  went a step further in attempting to unveil the potential sellout for bucks where our national security is concerned by a super global lobbyist Texan,  Stephen Payne.  Texas Republicans George W. Bush, Kay Bailey Hutchison and John Cornyn are deeply in love with Stephen Payne's money and influence.

Senator Cornyn's willing and relentless obedience to the Bush Administration and to his big moneyed corporate masters have dealt a lethal blow to some very basic, everyday needs and interests of  hard working Texans and our families.  Issues critical for the health, educational and/or financial well-being of our troops, veterans, consumers with regard to energy costs, first time home buyers, homeowners who struggle to hold on to their homes, college students, children, elderly patients and the doctors who treat them, have been systemically, if not criminally neglected by John Cornyn.

Following is John Cornyn's unprincipled record of desertion from his obligation, as an elected U.S. lawmaker, to serve the people he has sworn to represent.

ENRON's Skilling gets 24 years

Jeff Skilling will spend the rest of his productive - or lack of it - live in jail. He's been sentence to 24 years.

"His crimes have imposed on hundreds if not thousands, a life sentence of poverty."

Lake's sentence, more precisely 292 months, also ordered Skilling to participate in alcohol and mental health programs. He also approved the forfeiture of $45 million to be distributed to Enron employees.

Defense tried to get Skilling to the "club med" of federal prison unsuccesfully.

Many Houstonians will be celebrating today.

"I want him to see life without parole, for all the lies he told us and others," said Charles Prestwood, a former Enron pipeline employee who lost his pension.
