2009 Legislative Session
January 13 - June 1, 2009
The legislature adjourned sine die on June 1st. The challenges we faced this legislative session were all too familiar to our challenges of the past including a number of attempts to expand gambling as well as bills to ban smoking in bars across the state. We’ve been down this road before and with your continued support we were able to successfully advocate on the industry’s behalf. If you have any questions about the session contact Toni Silcox.
Protect Your Rights
Visit www.myrightstexas.org to learn more.
AMOT formed My Rights Texas to give a voice to Texans across the state who oppose continued efforts to enact a statewide law to ban smoking. With the My Rights Texas campaign, we will work together to protect the financial viability of small business owners, and to stand up for private property rights and individual freedoms that Texans hold dear. Limited government and personal liberty are principles that Texans hold dear – and we believe, are the core principles that have allowed small businesses like ours to thrive.
A 2008 survey indicates that voters have little stomach for further government encroachment and want the government to focus on true quality of life issues like fighting crime and fixing our public schools. Visit the coalition website at www.myrightstexas.org for more information and to sign up for the e-mail newsletter.
