Texas Progressive Alliance Round-Up
Here is the most recent Texas Progressive Alliance round-up. The TPA is a confederation of the best political bloggers in Texas. TPA members are citizen-bloggers who are working everyday for a better Texas.
Every Texan and every American has the ability to attend a public meeting, attend or organize a protest, write or call an elected official, talk to friends and family, start a blog, donate money, write a letter to the editor, volunteer for candidates and causes, engage in acts of civil disobedience, and to run for public office.
The work of democracy and freedom is up to each of us.
The round-up—
Off the Kuff discusses how many votes it will take to have a shot at winning citywide office in Houston this year.
Eric “Illegal Signs” Dick gets nailed to a utility pole the wall once more, and PDiddie atBrains and Eggs laughs and points.
Bay Area Houston notices that a new flavor of ice cream has been created for the Tea Party: Schweddy Balls.
Don’t use 9/11 to promote Bush or Cheney. CouldBeTrue of South Texas Chisme is appalled at the thought that anyone would give them credit for good actions.
Neil at Texas Liberal made note of his growing appreciation for Rick Perry. With his lack of second-guessing over all the people who have been executed while he has been governor, at least Mr. Perry embraces our culture of violence and death with open arms. The governor of Texas offers voters a clear choice. We’ll see what people want in 2012 and we’ll move ahead from that point.
WCNews at Eye On Williamson demonstartes that a picture is worth a thousand words:Perry/Texas GOP budget cuts already proving costly for Texas.
At TexasKaos, lightseeker ponders the relationship between Rick Perry, Wildfires and Cultism. Give it a read.
Did you watch the Republican debate last week? So did McBlogger…

Welcome To Texas Liberal
Texas Liberal is a blog of politics and political history.
My name is Neil Aquino. Here is my profile.
I can be reached at naa618@att.net.
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.
A blog grows one reader at a time. If you like what you read here, please consider forwarding the link.
Texas Liberal began regular posting on July 25, 2006.
I also blog at the Houston Chronicle as one of eight featured political bloggers, and on Where’s The Outrage? which posts out of North Carolina.
Thanks for reading Texas Liberal.

Perry is just another Texass Republician, all he cares about is getting richer off of others, acting tough, when he dosen’t understand that doing the right thing is tough, running a race for, lying, caring nothing for ones in need while all the time he claims to be a christian. When these republicians don’t understand that truly a christian, never has to claim that, everyone will know from their behavior. But they always have to claim they have God on their side. You don’t rant/rave about abortion and sit and brag about 245 excutians. It is unbelievable. When comparing states, Texas has the lowest of everything. Education, unwed teens, poor, etc. etc
Texas does indeed have a number of problems. I appreciate your ongoing comments on the blog.
