I Talked to my New Texas Rep — You Can Too

    You can’t leave action to others.  If you want results, you need to get off your rear end and get in the fight.  Today, I did that.  I called my new Republican Texas State Representative, Barbara Nash, to urge her not to vote for Joe Straus as Speaker.  I never expected to actually talk to her so I wasn’t surprised when I got voice mail.  | Read More »

    Joe Straus is Working Hard to Court New Members

    After reading Drew Ryun’s post today on Joe Straus, I went to the Lake Fork Tea Party link for more info.  I saw that my newly elected Representative. Barbara Nash’s name was on the list so I called it.  Turned out, it was her personal cell phone.  She didn’t answer so I left a message.  The message I left was to apprise her of my | Read More »

    Rand Paul Part III

    The other day I voiced my concerns about how the Democrats were going to distort Rand Paul’s views and try to use his statements to demonize the Tea Party and all Republicans.  Most of you have already seen the evidence of that happening.  They’ve rolled out their Civil rights icons like Jim Clyburn and a long procession of successive condemnations from Democrat leaders.  Back in | Read More »

    MSM Attacks on the Tea Party — Week #2

    We’re now into the second week of MSM attacks on the “racist, homophobic, hate-filled, angry white” Tea Party movement. This is different than last summer’s town halls.  Last summer it was only Democrat Leaders that were mis-characterizing concerned citizens as astro-turf, thugs, angry mobs, and haters.  Now we have the full force of the MSM being the foot soldiers in the Democrats strategy. Clearly the intent | Read More »
