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.

You can find the online petion here.

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.

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.

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]

A group identified as “The Guerilla Effect” just released their parody of the Texas Gubernatorial race. The video is a bit long (23 minutes) but offers a rolling mix of overt and subtle humor. It appears no candidate was spared ridicule however we couldnt help notice that Medina’s criticisms stem largely from her pro-gun stance and simply knowing too much about every topic.

Rick Perry seems portrayed as a Bush-like frat boy more concerned about condescending to the questioneers and his hair than answering the questions and Kay Bailey Hutchinson gets featured as a soft-spoken follower, with no real opinions of her own.

The video borders on offensive in some cases when Kay is playing a hand-held video game entitled Fetus Flush 2 or when the video’s “host” Billy Kerboppler seems to do all of his scenes without pants on. However, the video is sure to make you smile and even laugh all the way through.

Our favorite part: Medina’s epic speech starting around 10 min 10 sec.

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 »

By William Beazley

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.

I see trees of green, red roses too
I see them bloom for me and you
And I think to myself what a wonderful world.

I see skies of blue and clouds of white
The bright blessed day, the dark sacred night
And I think to myself what a wonderful world.

The colors of the rainbow so pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces of people going by
I see friends shaking hands saying how do you do
They’re really saying I love you.

I hear babies cry, I watch them grow
They’ll learn much more than I’ll never know
And I think to myself what a wonderful world
Yes I think to myself what a wonderful world.
Louie Armstrong , 1968

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.
