Houston Area Liberty Campaign

Newsletter from our companion group, The Texas Liberty Campaign. Most of the folks in this group are Ron Paul/Debra Medina supporters…. Let’s see what they’ve been up to lately!!
=======================================================
[Edited for timeliness]
This is a publication of The Texas Liberty Campaign, the organization with the most potential to return America to the Constitutional Republic in which we all believe.

This newsletter is designed to allow the reader to delve into subjects further and to share their insight on the topic.

Momentum for the Liberty Movement in Texas
Mike Barre – Republican Justice of the Peace Candidate – Travis County – In a race defined by personal responsibility and the Constitution, Mike won in the Primary thanks to hard work, working with the Republican Party, the Tea Party, and 912 Project, and the issues facing Austin.

Karl Voigtsberger – Republican County Commissioner Candidate – Collin County – Karl accomplished his goals simply by running for County Commissioner, in a race that brought fiscally responsible governance and the likely halt to development of an unneeded bridge and Intermodal Transportation facility in his area.

Debbie McKee – Republican Precinct Chair Candidate – Hunt County – Debbie found herself challenging the long-time incumbent in her new precinct for Hunt County Chair and found the entrenched Republicans to be fierce opponents.

Debra Medina – Republican Governor Candidate – Wharton County – Most of us worked hard on this race and we can be proud that a quarter of a million Texans realized that real change in the form of fiscal responsibility and limited government is needed. We will all continue to work hard to ensure that property ownership and gun ownership, the essential elements of freedom, will be protected.

Good news, folks!! Ms. Debra Medina (recent Republican Gubernatorial candidate), the good doctor Ron Paul himself, Mr. David Smith (CD 2, TX), Mr. Guy McLendon (Harris County Libertarian Party Chair), Mr. Pat Dixon (Libertarian Party of Texas Chair) and several other politicos were mentioned in a recent Houston Chronicle story.

Debra Medina discusses her next move after the gubernatorial campaign. She’s got cash left over and big campaign issues to help fight them. Abolition of private property tax, eminent domain abuse and healthcare reform are the big three for Debra.  ”We have real political capital today that we didnt have 13 months ago… ”

Debra Medina spoke at last night’s HALC Annual Meeting and was greeted with a standing ovation. Interestingly, she approached the microphone carrying crimson colored book bearing a huge swastika. In true Medina fashion, she was fearless in the face of potentially cheap political tricks and proceeded to read from it.

“None of these nine ordinary Germans and even the tenth, thought then or thinks now, that the rights of man (in his own case) were violated or even more than mildly inhibited for reasons of what they then accepted and still accept as National emergency for proclaimed  four weeks after Hitler took office for chancellor.”

The title of the book was called “They thought they were free” by Milton Mayer and it chronicles the rise of Hitler through the eyes of ten German Nazi citizens between the years 1933 and 1945.

Through historical references found within the book, Medina drew parallels with rising 40′s Nazism and today’s political climate. Watch the full video below. (Note: Our apologies in advance for the poor footage quality)

As a great way to start off 2010, HALC is pleased to announce that Debra Medina, the Citizen Candidate, who rocked Texas politics for nearly 300,000 votes with her message of Liberty, Property Rights, State Sovereignty, and gun rights, will address the Houston Area Liberty Campaign members and guests. Most of us would have expected Debra to take a long vacation after her strenuous Governor’s campaign, but her love for liberty cannot rest, and she is ready to continue her defense of the Constitution and her activism in the Republican Party.

Learn more about HALC’s annual meeting and RSVP.

The first meeting of each year is our annual meeting where officers are elected or re-elected. This meeting is important as the officers chosen will have a direct influence on the direction of HALC. Even our most casual members are encouraged to attend this meeting.

As Tuesday’s statewide primary approaches, Texans are trying to decide who to cast ballots for.

In the Republican primary, Rick Perry, Kay Bailey Hutchison and Debra Medina are facing off; in the Democratic primary, Bill White is going head-to-head with Farouk Shami.

While all the candidates have pros and cons, The Daily Cougar sees Medina and White as the best of the five on both sides of the coin.

“I’m not a politician, and I’m certainly not rich,” Medina said in a recently released television advertisement. Medina claims to be an average citizen and, by that account, vows to pay attention to the needs and rights of the average citizen in Texas. Her support has tripled since her Jan. 14 televised debate against Perry and, because of this, we have a feeling that Texans have taken a strong liking to her.

We have, too.

An old-timey favorite peanut and popcorn snack food had as their advertising slogan many years ago, “When you’re really good, they call you Cracker Jack.”  I’d like to borrow from this and update it to say, “When you’re really good, they do a positive You Tube video and original song about you and the video jumps from 500 hits to 1,000 in one day!!”

“…Here’s what we’re talking about,
Texas and this country need new leadership fast,
And of that, there’s no room for doubt.

…Deb’s the one, who’s gonna do what they say can’t be done…
A true grassroots, peoples’ candidate ….
I’ll be twanging my guitar for …
Debra, the new sweetheart of the Lone Star State…

We’ve got the power to change the way it is,
Shout it out so that freedom can ring….
We can bring about most anything…
with a vision that is second to none…”
[song by Steve Dore]

Two-faced Rick Perry lies about his illegal alien benefits law, pretends to be tough.

“Again this week, Rick Perry is lying about his programs to give grants and in-state tuition to illegal aliens,” says Debra Medina. “In 2001, Rick Perry signed the nation’s first law giving in-state tuition preferences to illegal aliens [1]. After lying to the state live about it during the Belo debates, he’s lying about it again this week in his answer to the Fort Worth Star Telegram voter’s guide.”

“Rick Perry’s program (HB 1403, 2001) [2]not only violates federal law by giving preferential tuition treatment to illegal aliens, it gives cash grants to those same illegal aliens, while Texans and Americans have to scrimp to pay the continuously rising costs of college education,” said Medina.

“Last week, Perry slammed the federal government for costing Texas money by not protecting the border, [3] but Rick Perry has made it clear; pandering to illegal aliens and growing government is more important to him than being responsible with the money of Texas taxpayers,” Medina said.

Not a bad little video for Debra Medina … Just in case you’ve forgotten all the “wonderful” little and big gifts Rick Perry has given Texans over the past nine years, view the below!

Things are changing rapidly in the race for the GOP nomination for governor of Texas as the March 2nd primary approaches.  Not long ago, it looked like a typical two person race.  That’s no longer the case, as Debra Medina has come out of nowhere to mount a serious challenge to both Rick Perry and Kay Bailey Hutchison, and a vote for Medina would send a shock wave through both Austin and DC.  Medina is now in second place in some polls, so there is no way a vote for her is “wasted”.

She is a serious candidate deserving serious consideration by all who consider themselves conservatives.

Read below for my analysis of why every Rick Perry voter should consider switching their vote to Debra Medina.

Full report:

The Texas primaries are rapidly approaching, and as we get closer to the March 2nd date, the race for the GOP gubernatorial nomination has changed dramatically in just the past few weeks. Debra Medina, a virtual unknown in Texas, has come out of nowhere to throw a real monkey wrench into the race.  Late last year, her support Read the rest of this entry »
