"And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart."
Galatians 6:9
Last night, Wallace Hall spoke in Dan Flynn's district to inform Flynn's constituents of his activities on behalf of Joe Straus' impeachment committee:
Highlights:
- All of his kids have been attending U.T. this entire time.
- "Rot...manifests itself in our political class."
- "I expect to disagree with people on the opposite side of issues, I don't expect to be misled by people on my side who tell us one thing and do another."
- "Texas is a red state, how in the world are we being governed by moderates?!?"
- Straus holds power: "by the unanimous support of the Democrats in the Texas House."
- "I consider a vote for Speaker Straus to be a vote for sanctuary cities."
- "I care deeply about education."
- Nobody criticizes what he's found.
- UT- Austin is the only system institution where he's had a problem, the other 13 system institutions have been fine.
- Flynn's Chief of Staff lied about impeachment committee finding forgivable loan program.
- Spring 2013: "I asked for two sets of data."
Highlights:
- "I had asked for all open records to be put online."
- "I've been working on this since February 2011."
- Still hasn't happened.
- "I made a request for communication between the President [Powers] and politicians."
- "When this happened, some of the most powerful politicians in the state came after me."
- Dewhurst, Jim Pitts, Dan Branch, Zaffirini, Seliger.
- "They trolled Dallas looking for dirt on me and my family."
- "I received some very aggressive e-mails."
- Paul Foster ambushed him and asked for his resignation.
- Straus instigated impeachment: "To protect his members."
- Flynn's impeachment committee: "I was denied the right to council" and other cross examination.
- Flynn refused to subpeona him, which would have allowed him to testify fully.
- "I call what Dan Flynn did a gross abuse of his power and a kick in the teeth to all Texans who are the rightful owners of our government."
- Flynn's committee mostly met in secret.
Highlights:
- Straus offered Perry a corrupt bargain and Perry declined.
- Straus sent the Travis County DA after him.

- "If indicted, at least I would have a public trial."

- Vote Bryan Slaton.
Highlights:
- The House didn't have the nerve to impeach.
