I was a state delegate to the state convention five years.

I worked on our Senate District nine resolutions committee and our state platform committee that creates the platform which determines Republican priorities.

You have a little bit of both, and then you have bills that say, oh, we're doing this because it's on the platform, but it really doesn't do what the platform says.

All of it.

All of it.

And when you see the bill numbers on the legislation, you know which ones have priority.

So the lower bill numbers get in first.

Well, some of the things I learned that will be useful in this office and will be useful to your audience is when there are bills, if the prettier the name is, the more dangerous it is.

So be very careful.

And there's not ever just two sides to any bill.

Right.

So we finally got the China being able to buy Texas land bill passed.

However, in the very late night before it was about to be passed, an amendment was slapped on it to, oh, they can't buy Texas land, but they can lease it for 99 years.

Yes.

I don't remember, but I know the hero that knocked it out, and it was our state representative.

It was knocked out.

It was knocked out, and so that was killed.

Steve Toth is the hero there.

So here's what I've learned, and here's what I want people to pay attention to.

The unintended consequences of bills is more dangerous than leftist legislation.
