TX Lawmaker Calls Colleagues To Constitution

Constitution Day could not have been better celebrated than it was in Texas. On September 17, friends of State Representative David Simpson (R) hosted a fundraiser in Longview, Texas, for the popular statesman, who called on 13 freshman representatives to declare their allegiances to the Constitution and charged them with the solemn duty to listen to their constituents and “do the right thing in the right way.”

Simpson told The New American that he’d hoped for five of the invitees to show up, but was overwhelmed when many more than that showed up. Several more were unable to attend, but expressed support for Simpson’s effort to mentor or be mentored in constitutional service to Texas. Simpson said, “I’m very encouraged that so many came, and that we have a chance to return reason and principle to state government. It’s especially encouraging to see so many young legislators versed in the Constitution and committed to principle.”
