Texas Republicans issue a platform statement

A recent addition to the Texas Republican Party Platform: American Patent Rights We support protecting our inventors, enforcing our patent laws, and strengthening penalties for patent law violations by foreign entities. www.texasgop.org/site/DocServer/FINAL_2008_PLATFORM.pdf?docID=5841 Democrats outright clamor that this resolution of the Texas Republican Party is in marked contrast to the position of several Republican members of the Texas Congressional Delegation. The self-styled Patent Reform Act of 2007 was a $6.5T direct attack on the constitution and economy as well as the inventive minds of the USA. Perhaps this platform plank will serve as a gentle admonition to the Texas Delegation. Their actions regarding this vital political issue were fatally flawed. They have some fence mending to do back home.
