The Honorable Eric Holder
Attorney General of the United States
950 Pennsylvania Avenue NW

Washington, D.C. 20530
Dear Attorney General Holder:
I write to you out of great concern for the people of Texas and to make a request for your expeditious attention. As you may know, on 25-June-2013, the Texas State Senate held a late evening session regarding senate bill SB-5 that unlawfully extended into the early morning hours of 26-June-2013; beyond the sessions legal expiration. The full hearing and subsequent vote was carried live on the internet to the witness of hundreds-of-thousands of watching Americans . The subject of the proceedings related to womens health issues and their unimpeded (first trimester of pregnancy) availability to abortion options, as guaranteed by the U.S. Supreme Court decision in: Roe v. Wade, 410 U.S. 113, 93 S. Ct. 705, 35 L. Ed. 2d 147 (1973). To the shock of a nearly incalculable number of Americans watching the proceedings, Texas Republican lawmakers held an untimely vote in direct violation of the standards set forth in the states constitutionally adopted procedural rules and guidelines. In their unabated haste and with full knowledge that the session had expired, an unnamed party or parties attempted (as the evidence of public records will show) to illegally alter the recordation of the time and date stamp associate with the vote; attempting to reflect a timely democratic process undertaking. After several hours transpired an announcement was made declaring the vote invalid.
Over the course of six days, thousands of witnesses have come forward to petition Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott, to open an investigation to determine the party or parties responsible for altering the votes time and date record without success. It is the consensus of many Americans: that members of the Texas state senate did willfully conspire to commit aggravated perjury and did feloniously tamper with Physical evidence. The individual(s) responsible, made an unlawful effort to disenfranchise the citizenry of the State of Texas. Further, given Attorney General Abbotts blatant inaction, which has generated serious concern of complicity, the undersigned petitioners are requesting: an immediate and comprehensive criminal investigation be conducted by the appropriate federal agencies.
Mr. Attorney General, it is with our utmost courage that we must hold our lawmakers accountable for actions that clearly violate the peoples trust, and we the signers of this petition believe this is one of those example making instances. The fact that the outcome of the vote on ("SB 5" has been deemed untimely, does not negate or preclude the opening of an investigation or its eventual findings.
Very Respectfully,
