Background: Recently, Texas Gvnr. Rick Perry took it upon himself to mandate legisla tion to Texans requiring a vaccine be administered to girls entering 6th grade. http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/medic...

Gardasil's purpose is to help prevent some types of Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) that can lead to cervical cancer. http://www.gardasil.com/ The people of Texas are not opposed to the vaccine. We are opposed to the government ordering us to use it. (It is a three shot series at $120 per shot.) We are also opposed to the idea of the government ordering us to use a vaccine on our young daughters for a disease that is sexually transmitted.

It will be a 50 year project. On the surface, it seems to be a great idea. http://www.keeptexasmoving.org/about/ Many people will lose their land to eminant domain for this project. The road will then be temporarily (50 to 100 years) operated and maintained by Spanish company Cintra who is investing in the project. This means Cintra will have absolute authority to collect tolls and operate the highway free from supervision or regulation by any government entity, as well as be subsidized by taxpayers.
