Hold Representatives Accountable in Texas

What does it mean to hold someone accountable? In a business, lousy customer service served up with excuses rightfully leads to getting written up and disciplinary action.

Complaints of "trying to cancel me." Well, that's a joke.

Now I ask - who's in charge of our Republican representatives in offices? Aren't you, the voter, supposed to be the boss? And aren't they supposed to be the employee?

This is why we need Rule 44 in the Texas GOP - just as it stands today. No changes. It allows us to truly hold our representatives accountable when they stop listening to us.

If you believe that employers should have the right to discipline their employees to keep them in line, then what about you? You're the employer. When a supermajority of your delegates decide to write up your employee who misbehaved, a censure through Rule 44 is the proper disciplinary action to tell your employee to straighten up and fly right.

Our politicians aren't superheroes. They aren't celebrities. They aren't above criticism. When they do the right thing, let's cheer them on and re-elect them.

But when they don't listen to us, then it's time to publicly hold them accountable.

They should aim to make us proud. Not disappoint us by doing the wrong thing or listening to the wrong people. Just like any employee, they should do what you, the boss, told them to do - and with a smile on their face.
