Anthony Sosa This show is brought to you by the Justice Reform League , a Fort Worth based non-profit focusing on educating and empowering Texans to become politically active and advocate for yourselves and your communities. The Fort Worth Freedom Review exists to serve that goal and the residents of the State of Texas. We will spend much of our time focusing on issues and policy that relates to Fort Worth and Tarrant County. While it is true that many of the problems that exist in our communities can solely be addressed and solved at the municipal level, there are also a number of issues that can only be resolved at the State level. Therefore, we will also discuss issues and policy regarding the State of Texas. Navigating the layers of our bureaucracy is difficult, and it is meant to be. If you don’t know who your city council representative is, what district you are in, who your State Representative or State Senator is or how they are supposed to function in the system--then it is very easy for those who wish to use the power of the office for personal benefit to continue doing so. If democracy is to function properly, you need an educated populace. You need information. You need the truth. We are here to bring it all together so when you go into the voting booth on any election day you are prepared with the knowledge of how to vote best for your community. *Dr. Cornel West* says “v oting is a tool, not a mode of self-expression.

We are a show about local politics that aims to get more people engaged in local issues. My name is Anthony Sosa. I’m here today with Thomas Moore to discuss the Texas Democratic Party convention in Dallas, TX this past weekend and to highlight many of the progressive candidates that will be on the ballot in November and the issues they pushed: Legalization of Cannabis, workers rights and protections and the ability to unionize, expanding access to healthcare and abortion rights, investment in rural communities, investment in improving our grid, divestment of fossil fuels and policing the border etc.

Hello Fort Worth and welcome to another episode of the Fort Worth Freedom Review.

This week we are doing something a little different. Dustin Schneider, from the award winning Jerry Jonestown Massacre Podcast, was interviewed for As an Artist, the Local Famous Records Podcast about local artists, their process and the local scene, and at the end of that conversation we turned to talking about local issues. So as a bonus episode we are releasing that here.  


You can find the As an Artist where podcasts are found and here:

(https://redcircle.com/shows/c5916ec9-d870-48d9-abf1-18b17e00f196/episodes/b734c4ee-2e4d-44f4-9d25-789c4b878472 )

  

The Jerry Jonestown Massacre can be found live every Tuesday on youtube at 8pm (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCXjvlbDnP0l8n3gdkSpWyPA) and where podcasts are found. 

Here is a recent episode of JJTM with Sosa about Dr. Robert Malone’s JRE Episode:

There is no primary. Democrats, Republicans and Independents will compete together on the same ballot 

Any candidate who receives 50% plus 1 votes will be sworn in to serve in the U.S. House of Representatives in May 2021.  

If no candidate reaches 50% plus 1 votes, the top two will compete in a Run-off Election in June.

Texas Legislature and Gov


Not Every legislative day is a work day. 

One month in they have met only a handful of days. Session will reconvene Feb 9th.

The first month is usually slow but blame the pandemic. 

https://www.texastribune.org/2021/01/29/texas-legislature-pandemic/ 


Census #’s delayed due to pandemic. Special session to be called in late summer.

https://www.texastribune.org/2021/01/27/census-texas-redistricting-special-session/ 


Both houses propose similar budgets

  • Both proposals were 119.7 B$ for the next 2 fiscal years. (last session there was a 7B$ differential)
  • Both plan to fund 70$ to convert the STAAR test to online statewide.
  • Rainy Day Fund 10B$
  • TX economy is doing better than most, but still bad. No need to tap into RDF means no pressure to legalize marijuana or casinos .

https://www.texastribune.org/2021/01/21/texas-budget-2021/ 


Gov Abbot still telling legislature to punish cities who cut police budgets by withholding tax revenue. (like Austin, state takeover of police also mentioned)

 “Texas is a law and order state and were going to ensure we keep it that way.”

If you are new here, the Freedom Review exists to inform and educate the Fort Worth and Tarrant County community about the values and the functions of civic engagement, the goings-on of the local City Council, the Mayor, the County Commissioners Court as well as important news stories from our community and from the greater Texas community including state political issues. 


 My name is Anthony Sosa and today with me we have Christopher Rose and Thomas Moore here to discuss the 2021 Mayoral candidates for Fort Worth. There are currently 6 people who have announced and we are going to run down any available information we could find about them and provide them below. We specifically decided not to use the Star-Telegram for reasons of access to information. There are some great reporters at the publication but the inability for people to access the stories can be more than frustrating so we are providing alternate sources. Thankfully MSN picked up a Luke Ranker story so we have that link below. We also will provide the candidates’ Twitter handles for those who have an account. 


All of the resources used for this episode will be provided below in the show notes.

Episode 9 (Part2) FWPD How are they doing? Anthony Sosa #9  FWPD How are they doing? (Part 2)


Hello Fort Worth and welcome to another episode of the Fort Worth Freedom Review.

If you are new here, the Freedom Review exists to inform and educate the Fort Worth and Tarrant County community about the values and the functions of civic engagement, the goings-on of the local City Council, the Mayor, the County Commissioners Court as well as important news stories from our community and from the greater Texas community including state political issues. 


 My name is Anthony Sosa and today we have Amber O’Dell, Thomas Moore and  Christie Beamer here  to discuss local issues regarding the FWPD. This episode ran a little long so we had to break it up into 2 parts. This is Part 2 of 2 and in Part 1 Amber covered the Bowman and Del Carmen Expert Police Panel Report. This report was pretty thorough and dense and details many issues with the current state of the dept and lays a great foundation for the conversations to come here in part 2.


In this part, part 2, Christie breaks down the Sunset Commission for us, it’s role and its report on FWPD and “opportunities for growth.” Thomas will discuss some of the findings from No Sleep Till Justice’s FOIA request regarding FWPD incidents and finally I will present some recent news stories regarding FWPD and Keller PD.  


All of the resources used for this episode will be provided below in the show notes.

In this announcement the Governor and his compatriots fear mongered lawlessness and chaos in our streets if the police were defunded. He shamed the city of Austin for the decisions of their elected officials and is proposing legislation to be taken up in the next session that will punish any city that “defunds the police” by freezing their property taxes at the current level.

In this announcement the Governor and his compatriots fear mongered lawlessness and chaos in our streets if the police were defunded. He shamed the city of Austin for the decisions of their elected officials and is proposing legislation to be taken up in the next session that will punish any city that “defunds the police” by freezing their property taxes at the current level.

You are listening to the Fort Worth Freedom Review. This show is under the auspices of the Justice Reform League, a Fort Worth based non-profit focusing on educating and empowering Texans to become politically active and advocate for yourselves and your communities. The Fort Worth Freedom Review exists to serve that goal and the residents of the State of Texas. We will spend much of our time focusing on issues and policy that relates to Fort Worth and Tarrant County. While it is true that many of the problems that exist in our communities can solely be addressed and solved at the municipal level, there are also a number of issues that can only be resolved at the State level. Therefore, we will also discuss issues and policy regarding the State of Texas. Navigating the layers of our bureaucracy is difficult, and it is meant to be. If you don’t know who your city council representative is, what district you are in, who your State Representative or State Senator is or how they are supposed to function in the system--then it is very easy for those who wish to use the power of the office for personal benefit to continue doing so. If democracy is to function properly, you need an educated populace. You need information. You need the truth. We are here to bring it all together so when you go into the voting booth on any election day you are prepared with the knowledge of how to vote best for your community. Dr. Cornel West says “Voting is a tool, not a mode of self-expression, “ we are here to show you how to use that tool most effectively.
