So, who do you think won the debate? Watch the archived video of the debate!!!!
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.

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.

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.

Look here if you liked Ron Paul’s values and views and voted for him for President. And if you’re not sure about who to vote for in the TX Gubernatorial race, then watch this….
Now, do you really want to vote for a Gubernatorial candidate who ignores, then totally disses and dismisses the Taxpayer’s Best Friend? I know I wouldn’t, couldn’t and shouldn’t!
You have a much better choice for Texas Governor…a smart choice with the steadfast determination to set the state back on the right path. A vote for Debra Medina is the way to go.
Hop on over to The Who’s Next Project’s website and vote for your candidate for Texas Governor, U S CDs 2, 10, 29 and more.
The Who’s Next? Project offers an opportunity for We the People to elect people we know. Those who will work for us, NOT Special Interests, Political Parties, or fat re-election campaign fund checks.
We’ve held Tea Parties, gone to Town Hall Meetings, stood together In Protest at historic 9-12 Events, and both called and sent emails to elected politicians. And they STILL haven’t gotten the message. So be it.
The Who’s Next? Project is the next step.
We will take back our government at every level. From our City Councils and School Boards, to the Texas Legislature and the Governor’s Office, all the way up to the Senate, the House of Representatives and the Presidency of the United States.
We are looking for citizen representatives: our neighbors. People we know, not mainstream politicians.
We, who pay for everything, and yet don’t get invited into the conversation as to how Our Money is spent… why those laws are passed, and who actually benefits from those laws, because it isn’t Us… and it should be.
A Government Of, For, and By The People should pass laws, and pursue policies that benefit The People… and that is what we will have.
And so the most important part of The Who’s Next? Project is what we save for last. A simple question: Is it YOU?

Debra Medina, a registered nurse and candidate for governor, is taking the lead in defending Texas against the nationalization of healthcare.
“This bill devastates freedom and destroys healthcare. Texas must nullify the action by congress and fight for an injunction in the federal courts. I am urging Governor Perry today to call the Texas Legislature into special session. I am encouraging Attorney General Abbott to begin the work necessary to obtain an injunction against the IRS and the 111 other federal agencies empowered in this legislation to further embed Washington D.C. in our lives. These actions are critical to insuring that Texans are free to make our own decisions about healthcare” stated Medina.
As the U.S. Senate takes up HR 3962, the “Affordable Health Care for America Act,” Texans must mobilize now as never before! We must not wait, there can be no delay. We must prepare for the eventuality that the U. S. Senate will pass this bill and be ready to immediately defend the sovereignty of the great state of Texas.
The Texas Legislature must act. Please call your state representative and state senator today. Find your district and their number here: http://www.fyi.legis.state.tx.us/. Ask them to demand that the governor call a special session to address the nationalization of healthcare; to nullify those actions by Congress that undermine the sovereignty of Texas.
Today may have been the 404th anniversary of Guy Fawkes’ Gunpowder Plot, guarding the gunpowder that was to be used for blowing up British Parliament. But we Americans can give it a new twist in stirring things up! No explosives needed.
If you’re a liberty-loving American Patriot, please visit http://www.thisnovember5th.com/ . You can contribute to Debra Medina (Gubernatorial candidate, TX), Rand Paul (US Senate, KY), Adam Kokesh (State Rep. Dist. 3 candidate, NM), Peter Schiff (US Senate, CT), just to name a few.
You can also donate to these other liberty-loving, socially-responsible and fiscally conservative candidates such as David Smith, TX CD 2 and Joe Petronis, TX CD 10, by visiting their respective campaign websites.
Happy trails, folks, and support your favorite candidate!! :-)
