CANYON LAKE, Texas (STPNS) --

You Are Getting Sleepy

    If police had not seen it on video tape locked away inside the  small convenience store surveillance system, they say they probably would not have believed the story.

    The store clerk called his boss and reported that he had been robbed, by two Indian men.

    Robberies in the area are common, so the boss was upset but not surprised.

    But when the clerk told the boss that the two men gained access to the safe in the back, he wanted to know how that was possible.  You are supposed to give robbers the money in the cash register, not the money in the safe.



    The clerk said that the two men hypnotized him and then instructed him to open the safe and give them the money.

    Nobody believed the clerk, that is until police viewed the surveillance tape and watched the crime in action.

    Yes indeed, the two Indians came in, talked to the clerk, put him in a trance and then walked him into the back room where they ordered him to open the safe--which he did.

    They then let him out of his trance and took off with the loot.

    The crime is still under investigation, as not all are buying the story.

TURF To Sue Transportation Board For Equal Protection

MPO Board composition violates First and 14th Amendments to U.S. Constitution By Terri Hall

    San Antonio, TX--In what could change the way toll roads are decided and approved in Bexar County, TURF filed a NEW lawsuit in FEDERAL COURT to put the power over transportation decisions back in the hands of the PEOPLE. TURF recently scored a victory in STATE COURT in a different lawsuit

(http://texasturf.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=262&Itemid=26)

against members of the Texas Transportation Department and Transportation Commission.

    A lawsuit has been brought against the San Antonio Metropolitan Planning Organization (SAMPO) Transportation Policy Board that allocates tax dollars to transportation projects and approves toll rates and toll projects and San Antonio Councilwoman and MPO Chair Sheila McNeil. The lawsuit alleges that the composition of the SAMPO Board is unconstitutional and Chairwoman McNeil has been a party to denying the First Amendment right of free speech to the constituents of elected MPO Board members like State Representative David Leibowitz by blocking an agenda item and any debate on an issue brought up at his request (http://satollparty.com/post/?p=871). This novel lawsuit cuts to the heart of how toll roads are approved. It's based upon the First and Fourteenth Amendments to the United States Constitution, 28 U.S.C. §1331, and 28 U.S.C. §§1343(3) and (4). The section of the post-Civil War civil rights enactments codified as 42 U.S.C. §1983 provides the Plaintiff's enabling cause of action. A faction of governmental officials with the help of unelected board members have shut citizens and voters who oppose toll roads out of equal participation in the political process. The case will also argue that actions like Chairwoman McNeil's removal of an agenda item asking for the funds TxDOT is spending on the Keep Texas Moving ad campaign be returned to building roads.
