From our Governor that is in need of big testicles or cojones to the retarded imbeciles in Austin that have no clue of anything and an attitude of I do not care; State of Texas is burning up and that little water we have is going away and lakes are turning into deserts . I told Speaker of the House Strauss and Perry to consider a desalinification plants on the Gulf Coast; it would be expensive but the returns would be outstanding. The size of this project would put Texas back to work and the Prosperity would be magnificent. The retarded imbeciles do not care ; all they care is breaking apart State of Texas with all the construction on I 35 , the Corridor, tall gates,ecc.ecc. They have the Funds for Breaking apart Texas and allowing for the Invasion of our Land; but do not have Funds for Water; what a bunch of retarded imbeciles, corrupted and satanic leaders we have.
