From the ACDP Chair - June 2010
Written by Marty Wisniewski   
As you probably know by now, I like to relate history to present day, and I have never read a Texas text book. I am a firm believer that we are doomed to live history over if we don't remember it. For you younger readers, you may want to google this song. I took some liberties with Tennessee Ernie Ford's song "16 Tons." Tennessee Ernie Ford recorded this song in 1955 and it reached number one on the billboard charts. It is more relevant now than ever. It is a musical story of life as a coal miner. The chorus of "Sixteen Tons" is:

You load sixteen tons, what do you get?
Another day older and deeper in debt.
Saint Peter, don't you call me, 'cause I can't go;
I owe my soul to the Company Store.

The line "I owe my soul to the company store" refers to debt bondage. This is where workers were paid in script (like a company gift card), and not cash, which were redeemable only at the company store. They were kept under a system where they were enslaved to a company because of debt.

Marty on AMENDMENTS 60, 61 AND PROPOSITION 101
Written by Marty Wisniewski   
Another election season is being muddled by Douglas Bruce. Yes, Douglas Bruce is at it again. He is bringing us three ballot initiatives that will destroy government, as we know it. Mr. Bruce is now hiding from the Secretary of State, hiding the fact that he is one of the primary people behind these amend-ments. If passed, they will destroy our schools, and our ambulance and medical services. They would arbitrarily reverse your vote which you, the public, have voted to de-Bruce or opting out of Tabor. He knows better than you how you wish your government to be funded. The amendments would severely limit state debt, which has funded such things as road and bridge building. Taxes would be reduced, which sounds good at face value. But investment in our schools and roads would cease. You may be asked for a credit card when you call 911. The seriousness of these amendments cannot be over-stated. I will be writing articles in our next several issues to give you a more in-depth look.
 
Thank a Teacher
Written by Representative Judy Solano, House District 31   
I recall a bumper sticker I once saw, "If you can read this, THANK A TEACHER." Such a simple message, yet profound in its simplicity. I haven't seen any of those bumper stickers in a long time, but I think it is high time for a "thank a teacher bumper sticker revival." Teachers could use a little appreciation, and some recognition for a job well-done. Each year they teach hundreds of children how to read and write, to add and subtract, to multiply and divide, to be polite and to play fair, to problem-solve and think critically, to take responsibility for their actions, and to be good citizens. These same teachers recognize the challenges that pull on the attentions of so many of our children...poverty, homelessness, divorce, hunger, too much TV, unemployment of parents, drug and alcohol abuse, peer influence, physical and emotional abuse, language barriers, etc. Teachers know the strength of those distractions, yet do not allow their students to use them as excuses for learning. Instead, our teachers demand academic excellence and good behavior from the students, and they do it without expecting public recognition or reward.
