With a little scrounging, and some more help from Rep. Thompson’s office, the Texas Progressive Alliance has come up with some more phone numbers.

Milton Riser’s confirmation is set for tomorrow. Riser is a Republican operative, and is up for appointment as Legislative Council Director. Not only is Riser up for appointment to the Lege Council as a member, this partisan and cronyist operative is up for appointment as the director of the whole shebang. Make some calls, tell the members of the committie that you oppose the appointment of Milton Riser to the Legislative Council.

The following House members sit on the committe:
Tom Craddick: (512) 463-1000, Ryan Guillen (512) 463-0416, Peggy Hamric (512) 463-0496, Linda Harper-Brown, (512) 463-0641, Lois Kolkhorst (512) 463-0600, Robert Talton (512) 463-0460, Corbin Van Arsdale (512) 463-0661

The following Senators sit on the committee:
John Carona (512) 463-0116, Juan “Chuy” Hinojosa (512) 463-0120, Kyle Janek (512) 463-0117, Frank L. Madla (512) 463-0119, Jane Nelson (512) 463-0112, Jeff Wentworth (512) 463-0125

When you call, tell them it’s time to leave politics to their campaigns… not to the Legislative Council.

Additionally, should you be interested, you can watch the confirmation hearings live at the Senate’s website.
