I hate that I wasn’t able to make more calls for Medina today. It was partly due to my own stupidity (inadvertently clicking the wrong thing on the virtual phone bank app), but the other part is that I was attending a local meeting of like-minded conservatives from 7-9 tonight. We had our U.S. Rep. Louie Gohmert speak and we are SO blessed to have him representing us. He’s right up there with Ron Paul in terms of principles.

After the meeting I happened to talk with a Perry supporter whose main objection to Medina seemed to be that she had no experience. She said “Obama had no experience and look where that got us!” Well, that’s a fallacy. She and Obama couldn’t be more different. Plus, in Texas, the real clout lies with the Lieutenant Governor, as he controls the legislative agenda. I also told her that I can’t support term limits and vote for Perry’s 3rd term without being a hypocrite.
Not to mention his record. But she told me how bad of shape California is in, with their “Governator” who had no experience going in, and says that “here in Texas, we actually seem to be doing ok, we have a little padding.” That’s not good enough for me.This lady seemed to disagree with me about Medina owning a business. What?? She does, and its a fact!

I can’t help it if Medina makes me believe she will really do what she says. I believe she really has the conviction to stay strong. The other two talk a good game (some of the time) but their record speaks for itself. If Medina doesn’t turn out to be good then we can pick someone else in four years. But in our nation’s current state, we need Texas to be more than just maintaining the status quo. We need to be a beacon for truly conservative principles that other states can look to when the federal government falls down on the job (which it has and will).
Perry says he champions the 10th amendment but how long has it been since he actually used his powers of nullification and interposition? Has he ever? (I know nullification is really a power of the legislature, but still, the governor can provide the leadership.)

Regarding her slip-up on Glenn Beck’s radio show: I believe she was just caught off-guard. She has since clarified her position. Don’t let people tell you (like this lady did tonight) that at first she said she WAS a “truther”. She DID NOT say that at any point. What she said was that she did not have all the information to make an informed decision on the matter, and that some good questions have been raised. She has clarified that recently, saying that those “good questions” are concerning the 9/11 Commission, not about the government’s possible involvement, and that she 100% is NOT a “truther”. I think Beck did her a disservice by twisting her words and later only playing partial sound bites that did not portray Medina accurately, lacking their original context.

Interesting tidbit: did you know that while Perry’s and Hutchison’s campaign each had just under 1,000 donors, Medina has nearly 6,000 donors?!

Last call: if you can find it within yourself (and also if you can find the time) to support Medina, the Virtual Phone Bank is ready and waiting. You can register and call all day tomorrow if you want.
Go to: callforkokesh.com — create an account, log in, and get going. (You’ll use your own phone. The app just gives you names, numbers, a script, and a way to log the outcome of calls, as well as a leaderboard to make it competitive!)
(Adam Kokesh is running for one of New Mexico’s seats in Congress and has donated the use of his phone bank app to Medina’s campaign. We might oughta repay him by helping his campaign after tomorrow!)

All of us may one day serve as grand jurors in federal court, and I hope this article will educate the reader to his/her true power as granted by the Constitution. For that power, despite having been hidden for many years behind the veil of a legislative fraud, still exists in all of its glory in the 5th Amendment to the Constitution. The US Supreme Court has confirmed and reinforced that power.

Washington politicians seem to always do two things: promise bipartisanship, and block the legislation from their opposite party.
Here, then, is the real definition of bipartisanship, as proposed by the Democrats:

Really, when it boils down to it, the people who make a big deal about the election of the first “African-American” president are the real racists – because they are making an issue out of the fact that there hasn’t been one before … an issue over the color of his skin. (more…)

The United States of America is now well on its way to retreating into the annals of world history as the nation that had its time as the world’s superpower, but was brought down by the failure of education. The failure of schools to teach young people about the political history of our country and the world, and why the failed liberal policies of past leaders still won’t work. The failure to outline how the vital signs of our nation were affected by different kinds of policies (for example, the unparalleled rise in inflation under Carter, who Obama holds in unduly high regard). We can only hope that Obama’s term will be as short as Carter’s (and Hoover’s) was, and that another Ronald Reagan will rise; one who can successfully articulate conservative principles to the masses in a way that’s easy to understand. Because apparently a good orator is all people vote for these days.

I want to share with you how I decide who to vote for. I vote based on what the candidates stand for (as evidenced by their voting record, their principles, and their past), and NOT on how well they perform in televised debates. I look at their answers to questions, and not just how articulate their answers are. (Unless, of course, they don’t answer the questions.)

I read a comment on a CNN.com story that really made clear to me why I think the way I do. Let me point out the three significant statements:

You have to be more than brain dead to vote for Mccain.
that bimbo that mccain selected has no experience
Mccains tactics are dirty and racial…

So you know about the financial institution collapses that have been going on? Good, most people do. But if you start looking for answers and listening to many of the talking heads out there, BE CAREFUL … and pay attention to what they’re saying: that we need much heavier regulation. Sure, on the surface it sounds good (“hey, banks wouldn’t be allowed to let things get out of hand”), but so do all of the socialist talking points! Anyway, a certain person explains:

Riddle me this – why did Charlie Gibson say tonight that Sarah Palin has proven to be a “lightning rod for questions about women and work” … but this sort of inquisition never ensued regarding Hillary Clinton or Nancy Pelosi?

My dad forwarded me this today from work, from one of his co-workers who forwarded it to him, etc etc.
But it’s still something that people need to hear.
(I’ve revised it a good bit for accuracy and other things, but the point is still obvious and valid.)
