One of the most important reasons for becoming a precinct chair is to serve as an election judge. If a party has a vacancy for the precinct chair and election judge in a precinct, that election judge is appointed. This has resulted in liberal precincts holding elections with NO CONSERVATIVE JUDGES OR CLERKS AT ALL! And when there is no opposing-party judge to challenge any attempts at voter fraud, the potential for fraud is greatly increased. Election integrity depends upon this balance of judges from opposing parties.

Please attend one of the following  Houston Patriotic Resistance’s (along with several other groups) presentations on becoming a precinct chair and achieving better election integrity:

What: Be a direct influence on your party and become a Precinct Chair (Harris County residents).  (Each of these training sessions is self-contained.  You would only attend ONE of them, as they are not a “series” of training sessions.)

Carter, Conaway: If approved by Senate, federal takeover of student loan industry allowed

education dept logo(WASHINGTON, DC) – College students will no longer have a choice on where to obtain their student loans if a bill passed today by the House of Representatives becomes law.  Democrats voted overwhelming to approve the bill. The legislation elminates the private lender option by June of next year.The House today voted down party lines to approve H.R. 3221, the Student Aid and Fiscal Responsibility Act of 2009 sponsored by Rep. George Miller (D-CA), which strips students of the ability to choose private lenders under the Federal Family Education Loan Program (FFELP) over the Federal Direct Lending Program (FDLP).

“The public-private student loan program that has been in place since 1965 has provided funding for over 60 million Americans to attend college,” says Congressman John Carter (R-TX).  “To answer success like that by voting to destroy the system makes no sense for students or higher education.”

The Federal Family Education Loan Program (FFELP) last year alone provided college loans for 6.4 million students at 5,000 schools, and has been the overwhelming student loan program of choice for colleges and students, especially among Texas schools and students.
