“Everything secret degenerates, even the administration of justice; nothing is safe that does not show how it can bear discussion and publicity.”

- Lord Acton

A new political party is quietly emerging in Texas. You can’t look up information on this party. You cannot vote straight ticket for this party. It is a sort of Trojan Horse party that sneaks up on you disguised as something you like and support.

Since many people vote straight Republican or straight Democrat, I believe this needs to be discussed. But it’s difficult to discuss without giving this new group a name.

I think it’s logical to refer to this sneaky group as the Tool party.

I am pleased to see that others are recognizing that you can no longer vote straight ticket in Texas and get what you expect.

What are the Tools about?

How does one recognize a Texas Tool?

Representatives Vaught and Patrick - Tool Leaders

There are some common denominators in 2 areas: Funding and Voting Record.

Before giving a candidate your vote, look through his or her finances. There are many names to watch out for, but a few that ensure your candidate is a Tool are as follows: Texas Parent PAC, Charles Butt, anyone named Crook, Raise Your Hand Texas, and HEB Foods. (Read more on Charles Butt, the Crooks and HEB Foods at Muckety.com)

The Tools are a shifty bunch. You also have to watch their voting habits.

One of their favorite areas is public education. Tools want more money for public education. Tools also want complete control of that public education money.

Tools are anti-voucher, because vouchers are about choice. Tools do not say that is the reason they are against vouchers. They say they are against vouchers because children should not be able to attend religious schools on public education money. They say they are worried about accountability from the private schools. They say they are fearful that the voucher children (to borrow a term from Bill Ratliff, another Tool donor) will not get a good education.

But remember, Tools are slick as snot. Tools actually have no problem with money going to private schools. Even to private religious schools. Tools have no worries about accountability or the quality of education the voucher children will receive. As long as they are Tool Voucher Children going to Tool Voucher Schools. You see, the Tools have written a voucher bill of their own called HB130/SB21.

Take a quick look at your own state representative and state senator. If you don’t know who represents you, there is a link to look up that information on the right side of this page. It only takes a quick email or phone call to know if your representatives supported either of these bills. If they did, you are probably represented by a Tool.

Tool representatives are puppeteered by a very small group of wealthy individuals who are getting wealthier every time another district is taken over by one of their Tool candidates.

This small group of wealthy individuals is using our political system to tap into our tax dollars. I wish they’d put together a Tool Party logo or something and let us make our own decisions when we vote.
