We’ve had several missions for the RedState Army of Activists. You probably haven’t noticed as we’ve primarily directed them to individual states.
This should be one for an individual state, but we need to take this nationwide.
Meet Kent Williams. He is allegedly a Republican in Tennessee. The GOP took the State House in Tennessee and rallied to one of their own to be Speaker.
Williams had other plans. He made a deal with the Democrats, betrayed the Republicans, and got himself elected Speaker. He then put a Democrat in the number two spot.
On opening day of the legislature the outgoing Democrat Speaker of the House stood behind Williams whispering directions in his ears.
It’s clear he’s a weak mind and will be putty in the hands of the Democrats.
Here’s the assignment:
Kent Williams address is 126 S. Main Street, Elizabethton, TN 37643.
Go here and send Kent Williams some silly putty.* Let’s put in his hands a pretty accurate representation of what he is.
*For shipping purposes at Amazon, use your phone number. And send along a note so he knows it came from a RedState Activist.
I hope Walmart is prepared...
Praying Wednesday, January 14th at 10:06PM EST (link)for a run on silly putty. I’m getting mine on the way to work tomorrow, and it will be in the mail soon after. I’ll be on this guy’s number 1 enemy list since I already emailed him and told him just what I thought of his actions, but hey, it’s worth it for the cause!

The voters supported Republicans and now they have to throw out any Repubican initiatives. this guy’s name should be mud. to be clear, no Republican voted for him, not one. Every DEm voted for him and he voted for himself.

Whitehorse Wednesday, January 14th at 10:55PM EST (link)I’m somewhat up on this. There were several that we figure may have caved & or turned, however he was the only one - & the only one needed, it turns out.
I’ll send him some silly putty, however I’ll also be travel to his district in 10 to help his primary opponent.
The TN republican party is moving pretty quick to smite him, so I figure they knew something was in the works. This happened in 2005 with another Williams, Mike Williams, who voted for the Democrat speaker. What this guy did was worse, becoming a Democrat tool. The Democrat cabal in the TN legislature is called the “hillbilly mafia” for a reason.
What would be his motivation?
Erick Brockway Wednesday, January 14th at 11:01PM EST (link)Unless he was planning to switch parties anyway, they’ll welcome one like him with open arms over there.

JX12 Thursday, January 15th at 12:59AM EST (link)…but why doesn’t Williams’ district just recall him? I don’t know what the Tennessee Constitution permits in regard to recall elections, but it may be worth looking into. When I lived in California in the 90s, there were two occasions in which Republican members of the CA Assembly pulled stunts very similar to Williams stunt in Tennessee (in fact, one of them was identical), and both were recalled and sent packing in short order. Read about them at the web addresses shown below (sorry, I was unable to turn them into hyperlinks in this post - not sure if it isn’t permitted, or if there’s just a different way to do it here).
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Horcher
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doris_Allen_(politician)
California rank and file Republicans already have to put up with enough garbage from the Democrats in that state - so they have very little tolerance for betrayal from within. I frankly wish more people around the country would take a lesson from them.
I guess it automatically hyperlinks
JX12 Thursday, January 15th at 1:02AM EST (link)However, “(politician)” should have hyperlinked, too. Otherwise, it takes you to a different Doris Allen.

Other gifts for the Speaker
ModRocker86 Thursday, January 15th at 9:08AM EST (link)The TN GOP is encouraging people to send plastic coins like 30 pieces of silver. I may send both.
Unfortunately he can’t be recalled but I gurantee you he will not be re-elected in 2010. His district is in the heart of a Republican stronghold and his alliance with Jimmy Naifeh and the House Dems will not help him there. If the state party kicks him out, he won’t even be allowed on the primary ballot.

I thought a sock puppet would also be fun, but those cost a bit more than the putty.
