Houston Area Liberty Campaign

As many of you know, Debra Medina was pushing very hard for nullification for the state of Texas.  Even though she was not the final, victorious Republican gubernatorial candidate for Texas, she has NOT given up on pushing for nullification and states’ rights for Texas and Texas.  Ms. Medina will continue to fight for Texas and Texans until success is achieved.

Ms. Debbie McKee of the Texas Liberty Campaign, with which the Houston Area Liberty Campaign is affiliated, is on a campaign to also help out where the Medina campaign was cut off in its fight.  Ms. McKee is personally delivering printed out petitions on Friday, July 23rd and would like some company!  The more the merrier!  Please pass this along, especially to folks around Austin!

We Texans (Ms. Medina’s gubernatorial campaign) will host our inaugural Pillars of Liberty Symposium at the Radisson Inn & Suites in Austin on July 24. The event will address strategies for governing and campaigning for liberty. New York Times bestselling author, Thomas Woods; as well as Texas political stars: Royal Masset, Peter Johnston, Penny Langford Freeman and Jean McIver will be on hand to lead the discussions.

And since we love to break bread together, Dr. Woods will serve as our keynote speaker at the We Texans banquet that evening.

I believe the states can best govern our home concerns, and the general [federal] government our foreign ones. I wish, therefore…never to see all offices transferred to Washington, where, further withdrawn from the eyes of the people, they may more secretly be bought and sold as at market.
