Motion of Congressman Henry Cuellar to Intervene Or in the Alternative, to Appear As Amicus for Written and Oral Comment Case 2:03-cv-00354-TJW Document 311-1 Filed 07/19/2006 Page 1 of 3 IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF TEXAS MARSHALL DIVISION LEAGUE OF UNITED LATIN AMERICAN § CITIZENS, ET AL. § § § § vs. § CIVIL NO. 2:03-CV -354 § CONSOLIDATED § RICK PERRY, GOVERNOR OF TEXAS, § ET AL. § MOTION OF CONGRESSMAN HENRY CUELLAR TO INTERVENE OR IN THE ALTERNATIVE, TO APPEAR AS AMICUS FOR WRITTEN AND ORAL COMMENT NOW COMES, Henry Cuellar, Congressman from Texas' 28th Congressional District and files this his Motion to Intervene or, in the Alternative to appear and participate as an amICUs. Henry Cuellar is a resident of Webb County, Texas. From 1987-2001 he served as the sole representative from Webb County in the Texas House of Representatives. In 2004. he was elected to Congress from the 28th Congressional District, which contains a majority of the population of Webb County. Webb County and the residents of Webb County, are a key component of any remedial plan adopted by this Court. Henry Cuellar, as a resident of Webb County and the elected congressman from the 28th District, has interests that will be significantly affected by any remedial plan adopted by this Case 2:03-cv-00354-TJW Document 311-1 Filed 07/19/2006 Page 2 of 3 Court. The disposition of this action may impair those interests. Consequently, Cuellar's interests, and those of the residents of Webb County, are not adequately represented by existing parties to this action. Congressman Cuellar has a right to intervene pursuant to Federal Rules of Civil Procedure 24(a), or in the alternative should be permitted to intervene pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 24(b). Cuellar can be of assistance to this Court in assessing alternative remedial plans and developing a final remedial plan for use in the 2006 general election. A motion to intervene was filed earlier on behalf of Congressman Cuellar, Congressman Henry Bonilla and Congressman Lamar Smith, along with a Bipartisan Remedial Plan. Congressman Cuellar remains supportive of that bipartisan plan, but there are obvious partisan, political and personnel conflicts of interest among these three congressmen that may arise in regard to possible remedial plans. Congressman Cuellar believes it is important that he be separately represented in these proceedings. For these reasons, Congressman Henry Cuellar respectfully requests that he be permitted to intervene, or in the alternative that he be permitted to appear as amicus and to submit written and oral comments as appropriate for the resolution of this matter.

  • Kay Bailey Hutchison, Allan Shivers, Jr., Treasurer Not Printed at Taxpayer Expense
    K AY B AILEY HUTC HISON January 2, 2009 Dear /Salutation/, Our state can do better. Faced with uncertain times, Texas must have leaders who look forward. We must start now to bring bold, innovative leadership to Austin. Ten years of one man in the Governor’s office has left challenges unanswered, too little trust and consensus, and too much infighting. This tone comes from the top and we can do something about it. Texans expect their leaders to bring people together, focus on positive results and do what is best for Texas. I believe Texans want new leadership and deserve a government in Austin that listens and responds. That’s why I’m forming an exploratory committee so I can begin organizing a campaign for Governor. I am not yet an official candidate, but Texas law requires this first vital step and I need your help. We must begin working today to rebuild our party. Do you share my concern that our state budget has doubled in ten years? Are you concerned that our state government ignores private property rights and property owners in a quest to cover our state with massive Toll Roads? Are you tired of the mismanagement of state government and the scandals? For example, after the Texas Youth Commission had to be put in receivership, new revelations about sexual assaults and abuse scandals have put the Commission once again under investigation. State Schools are being investigated by the Justice Department and were warned three times in three years for continuing to allow mistreatment of mentally retarded, physically handicapped and mentally ill Texans.
