Misty's Dive Into Texas Government Blog: Blog Stage 6
http://texasstateandlocal.blogspot.com/2013/04/blog-stage-6.html
Misty's Dive Into Texas Government Blog. Monday, April 8, 2013. To our Gun-less Cowboys. I must agree, it seems a little less like Texas for us not to be able to wear our firearms at our sides. I had to really contemplate the multitude of consequences for and against the “open carry” option and I seem to be at an impasse. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile.

Eyes of Texas Blog. Friday, May 10, 2013. Fracking and Its Consequences (Stage 8). Forest at Longhorn Politics. Brings up the issue of "fracking" which has become a crucial topic lately. What is it and why has it become such a big deal recently? With the New York Times claiming that the "United States is on track to overtake Saudi Arabia as the world's largest oil producer as early as 2017," it is clear that fracking isn't going away anytime soon.

Longhorn Politics: Abusing the System
http://longhornpolitic.blogspot.com/2013/04/abusing-system.html
Sunday, April 7, 2013. The idea that many welfare recipients are abusing the system is more of a stereotype than an actual problem. Of course there are people out there that abuse the system, but implementing drug testing as part of the solution isn't going to fix the problem—it’s only going to cost the tax payers more money. Doug’s post on "No more Free rides". That leaves welfare recipients. Would drug testing people who receive aid in Texas result in lowering the cost of welfare programs? Those who re...

Political Texans: February 2013
http://politicaltexans.blogspot.com/2013_02_01_archive.html
Friday, February 22, 2013. Do we have equality in marriage rights? On Tuesday, February 12, 2013, an editorial regarding same-sex marriage was posted on The Daily Texan. Do we have equality in marriage rights? The answer across the United States by the strong opposition of gay marriage would say yes. On the other hand, supporters of marriage equality for everyone would say that as a nation we do not. Meghan.cobb@ g.austincc.edu. Friday, February 8, 2013. Texas School Finance System.

Texas Government blog : AISD to open single-sex schools
http://abbyintexas.blogspot.com/2013/02/aisd-to-open-single-sex-schools.html
Tuesday, February 5, 2013. AISD to open single-sex schools. On January 28, 2013, The Austin Chronicle. Apparently, there is evidence that shows that single-sex schools don't actually help people learn, and they typically reinforce gender stereotypes, as well as cause problems for transgendered people. Another issue is transportation for the students in those districts that don't want to attend a same-sex school. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). The Red White and Blue State.

Civic Cynic: August 2012
http://mattschickel.blogspot.com/2012_08_01_archive.html
My blog for school; aka my Schlog. Tuesday, August 28, 2012. Opening Day of the RNC. At least President Obama made the attempt to properly pronounce "Pakistan", which one would infer respect for the nation. Dubya failed to even attempt to not sound like an ignorant moron when saying "Iraq", "Pakistan", or hell, even 'Merica! My 2 final thoughts are these: Between Obama and Romney - can we get a 3rd choice? Venezuela has 13 different parties. Maybe we should elect an economist? Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Civic Cynic: State Rep. Paul Workman, Hard at Work
http://mattschickel.blogspot.com/2013/03/state-rep-paul-workman-hard-at-work.html
My blog for school; aka my Schlog. Thursday, March 28, 2013. State Rep. Paul Workman, Hard at Work. State Representative Paul Workman has now filed bills into the legislature weakening environmental protection. Environmental protection has long been a hallmark of Austin politics. Former Mayor Gus Garcia once called Austin "a city within a park". Workman's bills will create a statewide, state-backed deregulation that should really be left to cities and their governances. One question I have after reading ...
