Key national leaders of both major parties including:

Bill Frenzel, Former Republican Congressman
Richard Kimball, Project Vote Smart President
Over 100 news organizations throughout the nation also urged their candidates to supply their issue positions through the National Political Awareness Test.
Her voting record speaks for itself. Consistently, Shapiro has voted against Women's Rights to choose, has voted to raise taxes against the common citizen, voted no against AIDS/HIV awareness/prevention, voted for christian only expression in schools, and voted against requiring loan companies informing individuals about terms of complex loans.

This doesn't surprise that the top 80% of her finances comes from special interest groups in Finance, the lobby, general business and the construction industries.

We see what her game is by passing all of these feel good laws, and backing business over the people.

Now THIS is interesting. Texas lege Shapiro was given a place on the national board for Holocaust survivors (which I say nothing derogatory about). HOWEVER, it is pretty handy that her Son-In-Law,Rabbi Brian Strauss, serves on the board of the Holocaust Museum Houston .. hmm, wonder how he got THAT job? Way to go Ma!
Staci Shapiro Rubin --Oh gee, she's on Facebook too. http://www.facebook.com/people/Staci-Shapiro-Rubin/1079406166
There is a picture, but only of her kids (I imagine, and I won't link that alone).
Get a trend here. Let's cash in on the NAME.. So I'll keep- Shapiro..
Again will update later. For those that think it is too much to include the kids in on this, I say NO WAY. If MY kids and wife are exposed to the hatred, then HER family will be as well. I am looking for further info on Todd, and will post it as soon as I can.
and in case anyone is wondering, here is an opinion from SC Justices Scalia on the matter:
