Yet, I love my state." I wonder if saying the pledge every day for 13 years had anything to do with you loving your state? “I recited the damn pledge from kindergarten through high school and I don’t remember any of it. Yet, I love my state.”

At least our representatives aren't narrow-minded and self-serving. In case anyone would like to email Debbie Riddle and let her know how you feel about this, here is a way to contact her: http://www.house.state.tx.us/members/email.php?dist=150&rep=debbie.riddle I'm even toying with the idea of just sending a link to this blog entry. :) Exactly, anyone that was involved in this decision is *definitely* a ridiculous adult. What a waste. Holy crap, this is insane. At least our representatives aren’t narrow-minded and self-serving.
