INDEPENDENT TEXAN, IT'S REDUNDANT!

A dear friend of ours, and her amazing daughter, are unable to get back to the U.S. from Israel. They're not the only ones. 

Foreign policy giant, Rep. Michael McCaul (Congressional District 10--Central Texas) warned the Trump Administration three days before the of Iran, "You break it, you own it."

What this mailer says to me is, "big brother is watching you and if you don't vote and for the "right" person, you will be audited." If you have received one, we'd like to hear from you.

We hear tell that the energy industry captors are pouring cash into stopping Hawk Dunlap from getting into the Republican runoff for Railroad Commission, our so-called energy regulators.

We just heard the industry captors are spending big bucks to stop Hawk Dunlap from getting into the highly likely runoff for Railroad Commission.

This is an open meeting, but come prepared to talk about how you can help LIV get better organized. We have a yeoman's task -- to reach out to the 8+ million Texans who call themselves independent! We will share plenty of ideas with you tonight.

LIV is out to end one-party rule in Texas. Democrats haven't held statewide office since 1992. Most large municipalities are dominated by the Democratic Party. And independents and minor party candidates are largely locked out of the system altogether.

Tonight, Monday, February 16, at 8 pm, LIV will hold a strategy meeting for members and donors only to discuss primary races that we think deserve independent voters' attention. These are the hot contests.

It's not news, but deserves tp be said, Texas is facing a water crisis that's been brewing for year The Texas House Natural Resources Committee held a nearly 7-hour interim session hearing on Tuesday, February 10, focused on Texas groundwater.

Check out Bettencourt's letter to Attorney General Ken Paxton HERE. It was shared with the Hood County Commissioners Court just before the Commissioners were about to vote on a 6-month moratorium (a pause) on a data center (the first of six facing Hood County) until they received answers to their questions.

The fight between the Ds and Rs on immigration related to DHS/ICE funding decision has, for the moment, led to a partial shutdown. The only good news is that America is figuring out how we got into a booby trap with the butt ugly "One Big Beautiful Bill" (OBBB). The administration's step-and-fetchers in the GOP locked and loaded a new paramilitary style Immigration and Custom Enforcement Agency (ICE).

In light of very recent events involving the DHS/ICE funding vote deadline on Friday the 13th by Congress, we are opening up tonight's online meeting at 8. Members and nonmembers are invited!

The League of Independent Voters (LIV) is, to our knowledge, the only membership association for independent voters in the country, despite that we are a 45% plurality of American voters.

YouGov plc is an international Internet-based market research and data analytics firm headquartered in the UK with operations in Europe, North America, the Middle East, and Asia–Pacific. Great news! The Trump Administration has so botched our immigration policy with politics, they may have managed to convince 46% of Americans to support abolishing ICE. And you thought that was just the leftists, right?

Golf Course Design By Phil Cook   The Bastrop City Council and senior staff are studying the feasibility of building a 9-hole, par-3 golf course on a 15-acre plat of dedicated park land that it owns.   The plat is adjacent to Chestnut Street and the BISD Performing Arts Center to its west, Cedar Street to its north, Farm Street to its south, and several residences with frontage on Hwy. 95 to it’s east. Gills Branch borders the park land to the east.   Building, operating and

In this Edition of LIV News: Bastrop Forum Wednesday! Y'all Come! We have three wonderful and well-prepared speakers to hone in on the city of Bastrop's governance problems that led to a game of hide and seek of their public notice to issue public debt -- in part -- for a golf course without public support. It's also to start Bastrop Independents, a nonpartisan group to do ongoing work for open government. Don't Be Jackasses, be independents . Is an independent fusion movem

Yesterday, a decommissioned power plant went up in flames in Texas City, Texas. Don't worry, it's just smoke, says ABC News.

What’s going on for Texas independent voters? Is it a Texas fusion movement or a risky fizzle? It’s probably not yet a full-blown independent breakout as seen in Ross Perot’s 1992 race when he stood a real chance of winning the presidency. But it’s at least a start.
