Our orders are delivered strictly on time without delay 
You are a freshman member of the Texas House of Representatives. You sponsor a bill that has strong support among your constituents, but only a half-dozen co-sponsors. Neither the Speaker nor the senior members of the House are on the list. Furthermore, it is referred to a committee that you do not sit on. How do you get it out of that committee and onto the floor for debate? Moreover, how could you increase the chances of the pill passing?
