Ask yourself: do we need more - or less - government?

The House of Bad Cards - and the House of Good Cards - are all about accountability to the People.

It is reasonable to expect and require politicians to justify their actions and decisions as they represent Texans and their families.

We believe all politicians are responsible and answerable to a standard - the set of moral principles and core beliefs our Founders used to establish the unchanging foundation of American Liberty.

When politicians do the right thing - hold to Founding values and principles with moral clarity - we stand by them and support them; when they don't, we hold them accountable. It's a simple principle. It defines what we do with GrassrootsPriorities.com.

Truth matters. Integrity matters. Principles matter. Freedom matters.

Why? A free people must be governed by Truths more stable than the whims of men.

The House of Bad Cards helps you see where some Republicans fall short, agreeing with Democrats and ignoring the priorities of Texas Republicans across the state during the 89th legislative session.

What you will read here are stories of what they did to fight against us. We urge you to consider what "could have been" had they allowed good bills to move forward.

Texas is not a "red state" when 31 Republicans agree with Democrats on Democrat bills more than a Democrat does. They shouldn't vote for the largest state budget in history. They don't allow Hollywood to come to Texas on your nickel.

The compromising lure of collegiality, noble Big Government, and the Easy Way is strong in the halls of power. The temptation to "go along to belong" has destroyed many a conservative.

Therefore, we highlight the results of Bad Card votes and actions to encourage legislators to hold true to liberty standards for smaller, more accountable government.
