I received great news from Representative David Simpson (Texas)—the House has once again passed the anti-groping TSA bill.
“This afternoon the Texas House of Representatives took the next step toward restricting government officials from groping innocent citizens as a condition of travel without cause, passing HB 41 on second reading by voice vote. Three amendments were offered and passed by the bill’s author Representative David Simpson (R-Longview), Representative Allen Fletcher (R-Houston), and Representative Pete Gallego (D-Alpine).
“We’ve been working with the Attorney General’s office from the very beginning to ensure that the bill will accomplish our goal of stopping the humiliation of travelers while also maintaining language that will withstand judicial scrutiny,” said Simpson.
Simpson continued, “Texas citizens deserve to be protected under the 4th Amendment to the US Constitution and Article 1 Section 9 of the Texas Constitution. Today the Texas House took a positive step toward protecting those rights.”
So far so good. Representative Simpson has literally been a ‘David’ going up against the Goliath’s of the Department of Justice, standing strong despite being bullied and threatened. This freshman Congressman’s fortitude is exactly what Americans wanted in the November 2010 elections—politicians who would follow through with all their campaign promises and work hard for their employers (also known as ‘We the People’).
For Rep. Simpson, a Congressman from a relatively small district in Texas, the nationwide attention he’s received for authoring HB 1937 (now HB 41) has been a colossal. And he’s getting it for simply doing the job he was hired to do—which is something other Congressmen nationwide should absolutely take notice of.
