Since I've raised questions about the email that's been sent twice now by the Texas Alliance for Life in support of Tom Craddick as Speaker, I thought I should put the response from its Executive Director Joe Pojman, which he left in the comments to that post, on the front page:

With due respect to Mr. [Buck] Wood, my email to members regarding a "motion to unseat the speaker" is 100% within Texas law. Regardless of whether my email is a "thing of value," the issue addressed in my email addresses is not a speaker's race. A motion to remove a sitting speaker, the subject of my email, is not a motion to elect a speaker. Therefore, my email is not limited by Sec. 302.017 any more than an email to members on motions to adopt or table House or Senate bills.
