We do things bigger and better in Texas and so sometimes that means things take us a little longer! We are getting organized and WE WILL have a powerful state organization. For now, the executive board and committees are busy and you are welcome to join a meeting conference call or volunteer for a committee. We'd like your input!

 I'll update with news on the Texas Liberty Campaign as it becomes available.

Working Tirelessly for Liberty!

With the release of John's statement, I wanted to take a minute to fill you in on what has been happening out here in Colorado.

I have been amazed at the effect the survey has had on other candidates. Several candidates have called and/or emailed me asking to fill out the survey or to tell me they have mailed in the form. This includes some who flat-out refused to fill it out before. Incumbents have also taken notice. Both CO C4L and I are being treated with much more respect now, instead of being written off as far-out "Ron Paulers" (which I proudly am!). 

In speaking with Ken Buck last year, I found that he has been "educated" into a complete 180 regarding the Federal Reserve, and he is actively calling out Bennet to co-sponsor S. 604. Yesterday, he also chastised Bennet for his "yes" vote to confirm Bernanke for a second term. With his stance on the war, he is not perfect, but I have learned that he is teachable! He has also been working with three main C4L organizers in CO to learn about what we stand for, and he has read several of Ron Paul's books (The Revolution twice).

Yes, the commercial should have been different, but the survey has already had a great impact out here in CO, and I'm looking forward to continuing to hold politicians accountable for where they stand on our issues.

If you didn't get to watch the KERA debate here it is.
This debate video is a must watch if you care about Texas.  I think it should be required viewing for voters. 

Full debate video here, 1 hour:
http://texasdebates.org/video.php
 
We were in the audience and it was incredible!  Goose bumps!!!  The applause at the end was thunderous.  We were so quiet and well behaved during the debate.  No applause was allowed during the debate, but you wouldn't believe all the quiet chuckling that went on ALL over the auditorium!   Neither Rick nor Kay showed up for the after debate press conference that was scheduled.  The press was in another room waiting for the candidates.  They were supposed to go in turn and get 10 minutes each.  Debra got all the attention.
 
I was interviewed twice, once before the debate and once afterwards. After the high dollar reception (we didn't go!) she joined us at IHOP, her choice.  We got there first to reserve some space, they had a separate section off to one side I thought would work best.  I told them that the next governor of Texas was on her way over!  They scurried around to get it ready!!  It was GREAT!!!!   The waiter asked for an autograph, the couple near us asked for a photo and they got stickers and buttons!   The waiter had just come on shift.  He was awakened by his friends texting and calling him from the campus watch party about how awesome the debate was!  He was sorry he'd missed it all the excitement and he came to work and lo and behold, in we come with our little party!!! 
 
The word from Cape Buffalo where the Dallas Tea Party had arranged a watch party was that before the debate about half the crowd clapped for RP and half for DM, no one clapped for KBH.  After the debate the DJ asked for an applause meter to see who won the debate.  No one clapped for Kay, THREE people clapped for RP and the room errupted in applause for DM.  The DJ was in shock.  I heard this from others who were there as well! 
 
She hit number one on Google Trends that night!!!!  10,000 unique new visitors to her website in the first 20 hours after the debate!  Traffic was up 4x -10x  the usual.
 
Several links to news clips - CBS was great, very professional and impartial.  I called and thanked them.<

A 2nd Gubernatorial debate has been scheduled for Jan 29th.  Belo decided yesterday that she would be included!  We put lots of pressure on them with phone calls, emails, demonstrations, etc.  A new poll came out and Debra had gained several points so Belo made the right decision.  Belo (Dallas Morning New, WFAA -ABC affiliate, etc.)
