When is the Texas Application for federal aid for West, Texas going to be submitted by Cornyn

and Cruz? They are talking about aid. Cruz talked about D-Senator Warren, Massachusetts. Was he referring to federal aid for the FBI for this week's bombing in Boston? Or that Brown was in her Senate seat when the vote for federal aid for Hurricane Sandy came up?

After bombing Suspect 2 was captured last night, President Obama talked about helping West, with all federal aid possible, in part of his Speech. Has Governor Perry submitted an application?

How has the TEA Party Perry, Cornyn and Cruz voted in the best interest of Texans? And especially citizens of West, Texas?

2. The FEMA Application for federal aid should be made public in light of the fact that Texas Government

is against federal socialist money. We need to ask Cornyn and Cruz to make this application public by posting it on their senatorial web pages.

3. Someone correct me but I don't think that is the purview of the Senate.

Not that they should not be lobbying for it but I think the governor makes the request to the White House for disaster relief. Congress can pass bills to fund the request.

If I am right, Perry must make the first move.

disaster funds.

Cruz and Cornyn are hypocrites, and they shod be required to apologize for their No votes on Sandy Aid.

6. I have been unable to find a video link of Cruz speaking after Cornyn finished on the internet.

It is like it has been scrubbed away. The link is cut off before Cruz takes over the podium.

After Cruz finished talking, Rep. Flores stepped up.

I am still searching for Cruz's speech in which he talked about Senator Warren.
