ATTENTION ALL TEXANS COMMITTED TO KEEPING TEXAS "OPEN FOR BUSINESS"
By Norman Adams on Mon, November 01, 2010
If you are a Texas business owner, you are probably aware that Dick Weekley, Richard Trabulsi, and Leo Linbeck have been our stalwart Texas Heroes in the battle to “even the playing field” in our justice system. Thank God, they have been very successful!
In the last legislative session the plaintiff lawyers worked very hard to “roll back” some of our successes. All indications are that conservatives will do very well tomorrow. But do not assume we can relax! Dick Weekley sent me the following message and asked that I distribute it to as many as possible. Our foes are well funded! Make sure you do your part to keep TLR in the fight!
PS: Have you voted yet?
If not, please tomorrow, and vote for conservative government!
God bless you, and may God bless Texas!

Subject: One plaintiff lawyer contributes $9,600,000 this election cycle
Norman, one Houston area plaintiff trial lawyer has contributed over $9,600,000 this year to Texas Democratic candidates and front groups aiding anti-reform candidates. Without your help, we wouldn’t have had a prayer competing with this. Many thanks. Dick
PS. The following press release went out this morning. We’ll see how many in the “main stream media” pick up this information ????
DOWN TO THE WIRE: STEVE MOSTYN IS TOP CONTRIBUTOR TO TEXAS CAMPAIGNS
Houston Hurricane Lawyer has Contributed $9.6 million
(AUSTIN, TX) 8-Day campaign finance reports and telegram reports filed last week show Houston hurricane lawyer Steve Mostyn has spent an additional $3.75 million on Texas campaigns, bringing reported contributions from Mostyn, his wife and his law firm to $9.6 million, so far this cycle.
Mostyn, the incoming president of the Texas Trial Lawyers Association, was the lead attorney on the recent TWIA-IKE settlement, which reportedly netted over $75 million in attorney fees, although exact figures are not known since Mostyn has gone to court multiple times to keep the fees secret from the public and media.
Mostyn has funneled this massive amount of political money through a web of groups, most whose names have nothing to do with lawyers or litigation. The House Democratic Campaign Committee received about 80% of its funding from Mostyn, who gave the group $1 million. Mostyn is also the top contributor to Texans for Insurance Reform, a trial lawyer PAC that has raised $3,007,100 and funnels contributions to State House races. Mostyn has given the group $750,000.
Mostyn contributed $863,942 to the Coalition of Harris County Democratic Elected Officials. The Coalition backs judicial candidates in Harris County and their report shows funding for Democratic Get Out the Vote efforts in the final days before the Election. Eighty-five percent of the group’s funding comes from Mostyn.
Mostyn’s Back to Basics PAC, which he has used to attack Governor Rick Perry and candidates who support lawsuit reform, has spent just over $4 million so far this election cycle; Mostyn has contributed $3,975,181 to this PAC. Mostyn is also the primary funder for several other PAC’s, including Texans for Public Education ($105,000), Texas Forward Committee ($100,000), the Valley Political Action Committee ($140,680) and Turn Texas Blue ($240,730).
Texans for Lawsuit Reform PAC is the political arm of Texans for Lawsuit Reform, the state's largest civil justice reform organization. TLR is a bipartisan, volunteer-led coalition with more than 17,000 supporters residing in 869 Texas communities and representing 1,266 different businesses, professions and trades.
