America's Will Suffers a Cut Too Deep

North Texans saw injustice when the will of the people of Farmer's Branch to stand up for their rights as citizens against illegal immigration was overridden by a federal court. Last night, Democratic tactics showed that they too care little for the true will of the American people.

"After clearly losing a vote to deny federal funding to employ or house persons in the country illegally, the Democrats altered the outcome of the vote after the fact. The majority party's leadership basically strong armed some of their most vulnerable members into switching their votes, one at least five times. This is unacceptable. To be pitted between serving your constituents and towing the line of your party is simply a sad state of affairs. It was deviant and devious behavior, and unbecoming of the U.S. House of Representatives.

"Then this morning, in what can only be described as an Orwellian maneuver, there is suddenly no record that the vote exists. The Democrats removed all evidence of massive arm twisting and vote changing. For it is in times such as these I am thankful that C-SPAN captured the entire action in perpetuity.

"What I fear most is the trend of this type of activity where the will of U.S. citizens is being taken from them. People in North Texas understand this is wrong - I hope the country is not further harmed by people more interested in power than doing the right thing.

"Government is for the people and by the people. A government that believes itself above its people will suffer severely and be rejected."
