Listening to the interview that took place on the Chad Hasty Show (Monday January 14, 2013) with Texas State Rep. Steve Toth, I was very excited about his 2nd Amendment Protection Bill.  (Listen to the full interview here.)  His bill will mimic Wyoming’s Firearms Protection Act.

“Only one candidate for Railroad Commissioner has the proven experience and ability to lead the agency and protect private property rights.” That is the opening line from one of Railroad Commissioner Barry Smitherman’s re-election radio ads (emphasis added).
