Texas Progressive Alliance Round-Up
Here is the weekly posting of the Texas Progressive Alliance round-up. The TPA is a confederation of the best political bloggers in Texas.
Not to suggest that this is not a lot, but this is all I have for the blog reading public today.
The round-up—
Off the Kuff notes that when one Bradley goes away, another one gets nominated.
Three Wise Men examines the possibility of a federal government shutdown and what Republicans are doing with the budget in Texas.
Musings rounds up news on teacher layoffs across Texas.
Presenting the comedy gold of the Honorable Anthony Weiner of The Bronx, NY, now showing for a limited time at Brains and Eggs.
CouldBeTrue of South Texas Chisme says you just have to read the paper to see how Republicans are destroying every thing and everybody they can.
WCNews at Eye On Williamson says It’s time for the left to join the class war.
At TexasKaos, more on Rick Perry’s assault on our beloved state. SeeGOP Robs Texas of its Future. If this doesn’t make clear what Perry is doing, Texans will never get it.
Marking the 43rd anniversary of the death of Martin Luther King, Neil at Texas Liberal reposted his 2011 MLK Reading & Reference List. Every day is the right day to be hopeful. Study MLK’s life and make the decsion to take action for a better America. Nobody will do the work of freedom and democracy for you.
Who would have guessed that the biggest problem we have in the US is that taxes are too low? Turns out, McBlogger says, that’s THE problem … not spending.
After a weekend of masochistically watching the House debate the state budget, TexasVox pointed out several billion dollars in untapped and environmentally friendly revenue that we’ve left on the table, while the natural gas industry whines that without their corporate welfare check they’ll have to move more of their drilling operations out of state to other states like Pennsylvania. Awww, poor babies.

Welcome To Texas Liberal
Texas Liberal is a blog of politics and political history.
My name is Neil Aquino. Here is my profile.
Additional focuses of the blog are books, art, poetry, personal relationships and, also, sea life and marine mammals.
( The picture above is of the Houston Ship Channel. A narrow channel can lead to a wide sea.)
The signature post of this blog is the Martin Luther King Reading & Reference List. This list is the best of it’s kind on the web.
Another good post is my reciting the words to the Shaker hymn Simple Gifts on Galveston Island, Texas as a ship passes behind.
I live in Houston, Texas and I do sometimes write about political issues in Houston and in Texas.
I also often write about my former hometown of Cincinnati, and about the great beach city of Galveston, Texas.
I define liberalism as a role for government in the economy to help make life more fair, and a broad acceptance of people regardless of who they are.
This is why it says “All People Matter” at the top of the blog.
