The 2010 Texas Governor’s race is arguably the most influential race in America. Texas is the largest conservative leaning state in the union and this implies that if Texas sets a good example then states may be willing emulators.

I first met Debra back in 2007 while standing in for proper leadership of the grassroots movement in Beaumont. She gladly drove the long trek to help remedy our hopelessly deep ignorance of grass roots politics.

Though she was knowledgeable, it was clear that she was merely just one of us, not having anything remotely akin to political super powers or that larger-than-life verve politicians often have. The only thing obvious about her was her sincerity.

Q: In less than ten hours, how do you raise over $50,000 (via online, already in-the-bank donations, with more to come via paper check) and get over 1,000 new Facebook subscribers?

A: Go on internet show put on by loudmouthed, crocodile tear crying shill who pushes agenda of those with the most bucks.  Get asked a ”have you stopped beating your kid?” type of kamakazee question unrelated to office candidate is seeking.  Interviewer has a baited response he wants to get from candidate.  Interviewer says, “see, she just admitted she hasn’t stopped beating her kid!! She’s a horrid person!!”  Interviewer cuts off interviewee before she has a chance to tell interviewer she can’t answer the question as it was stated, since it’s a “have you stopped beating your kid?” question. Viewers/listeners see you for the bought-and-paid for shill you are.

Incumbent then mysteriously has a negative ad already recorded and robocalling registered voters, in an hour.

You as the interviewee, however, then get multiple standing ovations at a local function six hours later.  The audience calls  for bad interviewer’s head on a platter.

Watch the money roll in to the bank…  $20, $50, 100 at a time, much of it from new donors.  Some of those new donors tell their friends.  Counting up, $20,000, now $30,000 …. up to $50,000 now!! You have people calling their friends, those friends write checks and drop them in the mail. Ka-ching! $$ Ka-ching! $ Ka-ching…$$$$ Where will it stop!??

Thanks unmentioned, loudmouth, obnoxious, fake blonde hair, tan and crocodile tear crying shill!! Maybe we can use you again for our advantage?  You’re such a dear!

Donate to the Medina campaign here.  Spread the good word!

On January 16, 2010, I drove to Austin, Texas to attend a rally at the State Capitol.

This rally was intended to assert the citizens’ desire for Texas Governor Rick Perry to call a special session in the Texas State Legislature immediately for nullification not only of Congress’s proposed health care bill, but ANY bill that Texas citizens felt was unconstitutional and to assert the 10th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution that reminds us that the powers that are not delegated to the U.S. government by the Constitution are retained by the separate states and by the people …

The rally, which was largely promoted by a group called New Revolution Now, featured speakers like John Stacy and State Representative Leo Berman.

What I found was that the most important speakers of that day were the citizens that attended the rally. What I saw was that their voices, although powerful and resonant, were not entirely heard.

Their wish to see Debra Medina, candidate for Texas Governor speak, was not granted that afternoon.

Medina had another engagement in Austin that evening after the rally and hadn’t officially been invited to speak at the rally, but according to sources she had briefly stopped by the Capitol that day after hearing of the overwhelming voices of her supporters.

Our friends at Ron Paul Forums have started an impromptu mini money bomb for Debra Medina today stating:

It’s Friday, pay day. Debra Medina did very well in the debate last night and deserves your support to get her message to Texans. The media is already declaring her the winner.

One of the Forum Bombers in the thread says, “Keep it up! She said on the radio today that she has raised 25K since the debate last night.”

Thanks to all of you who are donating money, time, and resources to get Debra Medina elected the next Governor of Texas.

Below the double line is a dialogue between Debbie, who is involved in Debra Medina’s campaign and Jill, a firm Rick Perry supporter.  Debbie’s comments are in lavender, her personal thoughts in light teal and Jill’s comments are in black.

=================

I mentioned 11 objections I had to Perry and she replied to a few of them.  You can scroll down and see how we started the conversation.  It’s not terribly long.  This might help some of you who have asked for talking points for Perry supporters. Feel free to use this or pass it along.  I removed her surname and address out of consideration.  Thanks Read and Julia for the input.

Thanks for your reply, Jill.

My replies are in color inserted below.

Here’s how I look at it and this is strictly my personal opinion:

I’m not going to agree with every candidate I support completely.  Heck, I don’t agree with my mother or husband 100% of the time but on the non-negotiable issues like pro-life, I do!

On the Gardasil and Transcorridor issues I call Perry a “Responsive Leader” because when he heard how we felt about them, he backed off.  That is more than I can say for those in Washington or KBH!

There was an outraged uproar – by the legislature AND the people!  Actually, Perry did NOT back off.  The legislature passed a bill overriding his executive order.  Perry didn’t even sign that into law and instead let it pass without signature.   He lost all credibility in my eyes when he issued that mandate.   Stepping out and mandating something that should be a private decision for parents and young women.  He cannot consider himself pro-life after doing that.  Girls died, girls were left permanently disabled, and sterilized.  Young women have had repeated miscarriages since getting the shot.  It’s really horrific.  Research it for yourself.  Did you get the shot?

The TTC is not dead, it’s been broken up and renamed, but the basic project is still in the works.  Check out http://www.nascocorridor.com/ It is indeed alive and well.  This is a corporation that is still working on it that has offices here in DFW.

Ms. Debra Medina, in a joint press conference with the U.S. Border Watch reveal her plan on Tuesday, January 12th to secure the Texas border. Curtis Collier and Bob Price of U. S. Border Watch have endorsed Debra Medina and were also be present to address border security.

The press conference was held at the University of Houston, University Center Building 565 Grid E7, Bluebonnet Room 250.

This press conference was held because the Texas border was once bountiful with thousands of acres of fertile land bearing fruit trees and exotic wildlife. Under the Texas leadership of the last few decades, however, the beautiful paradise called the Rio Grande Valley has become a war zone where lawlessness rules. Families and property owners live in fear of drug cartels and threat of human trafficking. Debra Medina has worked hard to identify and understand the problems that have led to the shift from paradise to war zone along the Rio Grande.

Below is Ms. Medina’s complete Press Release and Border Security Plan.

=========================================

FAIR WARNING: Governor Medina Will Secure the Texas Border

HOUSTON, TX, Tuesday, January 12, 2010 – Debra Medina, Republican Candidate for Governor today released her plan for securing the Texas border in a joint press conference with the U.S. Border Watch.

Rick Perry, Debra Medina, Kay Bailey Hutchison

After months of dodging Debra Medina, Rick Perry and Kay Bailey Hutchinson will finally go toe to toe with the liberty candidate on Jan 14 in an state-wide televised debate. KERA, the sponsoring station, says it is inviting newcomer Debra Medina to be part of its GOP gubernatorial debate next week. Medina, who was initially excluded from the televised debate, was finally invited after KERA decided she meets longstanding, station criteria.

Among issues considered was whether Medina has actively campaigned, generating media and public interest. Guidelines also allow for considering political polls, but KERA says polls played a minor role in the decision. KERA says there was very little recent polling data to consider.

This Texas Debate on January 14 will mark the first time Hutchison, Perry and Medina have squared off on the same stage even though the March 2 primary is less than two months away. The statewide broadcast from the University of North Texas’s Murchison Auditorium will include a live audience. Questions will be posed by a panel of journalists and voters.

Viewers will be able to stream the debate live at www.TexasDebates.org and viewers will be able to submit questions via the website.

Ron Paul Republican Debra Medina needs our help to get at the truth!

“KERA (a PBS TV station) is buckling to demands by the governor (Rick Perry) that unless he’s on the stage exclusively with Kay, he’s not going to be there,” Medina told the Star-Telegram.

http://startelegram.typepad.com/politex/2009/12/medina-kera-debate-will-be-a-campaign-issue.html

Public television station KERA TV/Channel 13 has already invited both Senator Kay Bailey Hutchinson and Governor Rick Perry to attend their big “Texas sized” debate on January 13th; and both candidates have accepted.

But thus far the PBS television station has completely excluded Debra Medina, seemingly out of  fear that the Governor would back out and ruin their huge event.

As such, we need polite supporters of Debra Medina to contact both KERA TV and Rick Perry’s campaign office to request a firm statement of support for Debra Medina’s inclusion in the January KERA PBS Debate of Republican candidates running for Texas Governor.

A few weeks ago the Peter Morrison Report was contacted by the Debra Medina campaign. She is a Republican candidate for governor here in Texas.  An interview came out of that discussion.

To be fair, I have also contacted the campaigns of the other three declared candidates: Kay Bailey Hutchison, Larry Kilgore and Rick Perry.  If they agree, each will be featured in a future report so you can make an informed decision in March.

The interview consists of a question followed by the candidate’s unedited responses.  Let’s get to it:

Medina Cut out small

Peter Morrison Report: What do you see as the top challenges facing Texas, and our next governor?

Debra Medina: Texas, like all of the United States, is facing unprecedented economic challenges.  Property taxes, excessive regulation and broad use of eminent domain authority all but destroy private property ownership.  Couple those concerns with a growing dependence on federal largesse, a high unemployment rate, additional school property tax buy down and diminishing sales tax returns and you quickly realize that the state of Texas must cut spending drastically and restructure tax in order to relieve the drag it places on the economy.

PMR: In your opinion, what are the causes of the terrible setbacks the Republican Party suffered in 2006 and 2008? How do you think we can reverse this trend?

DM: Failure to walk our talk.  We must elect officials who follow the strict interpretation of constitution and govern in a manner consistent with our party platform.  Recognizing that politics is corrupting and that absolute power corrupts absolutely, the Texas Republican Party should adopt a rule unilaterally establishing term limits as an additional eligibility requirement when seeking a place on the primary ballot for all state officeholders i.e., state representatives, state senators and all state-wide officeholders.  This would serve to protect not punish Republican office holders.  It would keep them beholden to the people they serve and remove incentives to be “bought and paid for” by special interest groups seeking to use the law to gain favor in the marketplace.
