American born citizens are seeking 'action' here -- not just words from our public servants and politicians.
Texas Senator John Cornyn recently slapped Mexican-Americans in the face with his support for a resolution simply recognizing “Hispanics” after he votes “NO” on the Gang of Eight Legal Immigration Reform Bill this past summer that would have helped millions of Mexican-American Chicanos in Texas.
We believe in Congress fixing broken systems and doing things via the legal avenue -- to include upholding valid Treaties we have made in the past.
But that wasn't the only slapping Cornyn has been doing -- below you will see a fellow Tejano via David Alejandro Ruiz state he was denied a fair hearing process by Texas Senator John Cornyn's office.
This gives us no choice (since news outlets may be advertising starved and afraid to bring up controversial issues) to inform the public with regard to what is going on with Mi Gente via social networking outlets. El Rrun Rrun will also keep us posted.
To whom it may concern,
My name is
David Alejandro Ruiz, I am the lead singer for Robert Rodriguez's band Chingon and recently wrote and performed with the band Del Castillo for last 12 years.Needless to say I'm an Austin musician and an Austinite at heart. .I am writing to you in regards to a personal family matter. I would like to put a spot light on recent happenings with the Space X Program in South Texas and how the General Land Office along with Governor Rick Perry and Cameron County Judge Carlos Cascos have ignored my family's request to put a halt on deals they are making with private companies for use on privately own lands.
See my family found a Title dating back to 1792 in which our family purchases 90,000 acres of land from then the Vice Roy of Spain and in this title which has not been seen since explains that these lands belong to our family forever. They are also protected by the US Treaty of Adams Onis dating back to 1819 and theGuadalupe Hidalgo Treaty as well.
We have been denied a fair hearing from even the Texas US Senator John Cornyn and have been tossed from office of Department of Interior back to GLO offices and have not been able to acquire an Austin Attorney that would go up against these juggernauts with our case and real title. I am sincerely asking for The Chronicle's help. I believe with the current debates in Washington and here in Austin Texas we hold a true piece of Texas and US History and would like to bring this topic to the forefront for people to know how my family has been deputed and to hold accountable the departments and heads of Texas Government with inefficiency and lack of cooperation and will-full denial of information.
We would like to know if Texas is committed to the Rules of Law that it and the US Government has placed for all to follow. We would like to mention that in this last legislature when Governor Perry wanted the Texas Senate and House of Representatives to pass bills regarding closing down the public beach accesses for building and launching of private company Space X all those bills were passed without any encumbrances or consideration from any of these offices towards my family's land title declaration as they were advised.
We have tried to reach out to local papers in the Lower Rio Grande case in point, Brownsville, Texas , but they are giving preference to Big Business moving in instead of what we hold to be self-evident and rightful to declare. The freedom of press is easily persuaded in South Texas, or no freedom of press at all. In conclusion I would also like to mention that when and in the recent drought situation here in Texas Gov Perry wanted Mexico to own up to a water treaty the US made with Mexico in 1944 he quickly referred to this treaty to hasten attention. I leave this information in your hands and hope for your prompt response.
Sincerely,
David "Alex" Ruiz
