For many of us, it's been a long 20+ months that will culminate Tuesday night at 7 p.m.  That's 48 more hours to push the revolution...push for individual liberty, constitutional government, sound money, free markets, and a noninterventionist foreign policy.  You can have the greatest impact in the smallest amount of time by working at poll locations in your area.  Print business cards supporting the position/candidate of your choice and ask those appearing at the polls for support.  Statistics show a large % of voters come to the polls undecided...your work there can have a tremendous impact.  Then at 7 p.m., take a bow, a breather and a well deserved rest (but not for too long, we've got a country to save!!)

Yes, but unfortunately my lovely state forbids any support of political candidates to be advertised outside of the polls. I just love it when my first amendment is squashed! I am at least going to wear a campaign for liberty shirt though - after all, liberty isn't a candidate, right? And I can't help if someone asks me about it.

A demand for the restoration of liberty continued its march through Texas Feb. 28 and March 1. While Tea Parties protesting recent federal action inflating the dollar and sending the country further into debt drew large crowds in major cities, patriots from across the state convened in Austin to organize for the restoration of liberty in Texas politics and life. I called the convention to order as temporary chairman and the delegation moved quickly to elect Paul Perry permanent chairman. Perry appointed fellow chair nominees Al Jameson, Harris Co. and Griffin Spell, Hays Co. as parliamentarians. Read King, Denton Co. was elected convention secretary and Sean Cheben, Midland Co. served as his assistant. These men did a phenomenal job insuring a fair and deliberative convention. Elected purpose, resolutions and by-laws committees worked until midnight on Saturday with some members huddling in convention hotels until 3 a.m. only to reconvene in committee meetings at 7:30 a.m. on Sunday morning and then at the convention hall at 9 a.m. As the day progressed, the delegates were successful in adopting a mission , "to restore our Republic as intended by the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the United States through the exercise of all our inherent individual rights as a free people in Texas" and the name Texas Liberty Campaign. The body also created standing resolutions and bylaws committees and charged elected senate district caucus chairmen with convening a second convention once standing committees have completed their work on resolutions and bylaws.

Congressman Ron Paul spoke to the delegation on Saturday evening just prior to attending the Campaign for Liberty's Texas Freedom & Liberty banquet at the nearby DoubleTree Hotel in Austin.

I wanted to add that there is still the matter of Federal ID. Ron Paul still stands against the Federal Real ID Act. While you are in Texas oppose HB 4036, which calls for national citizenship be displayed and stored on licenses along with biometric identifiers.

I like the progress here in Texas! Dido on the Real ID Act, it cannot happen! Im most concerned with the upcoming mandatory flu vaccines for children. Doubt Gov. Perry will fight that much???

Sen. Specter's phone is likely ringing off the hook as he is predicted to support the $800+ billion stimulus package and I truly hope our efforts to get him to change his mind are effective!

Nonetheless, I wonder how many remember, "In 2004, Specter faced a challenge in the Republican primary election from conservative Congressman Pat Toomey. Toomey charged that Specter was too much of a liberal and big spender to represent the Republican Party. The match-up was closely watched nationally, being seen as a symbolic clash between the conservative and moderate wings of the Republican Party. However, most of the state and national Republican establishment, including the state's other senator at the time, Rick Santorum, (who was widely seen as only slightly less conservative than Toomey), closed ranks behind Specter. Specter was strongly supported by President George W. Bush. Specter narrowly avoided a major upset with 51 percent of the vote."
Specter promised then to support the "Republican" nominees for Supreme Court thus buying him the support of the establishment. Surely Toomey would have supported those same candidates. Specter never has been a conservative. Until we have party leadership that will put their money where their mouths are (behind candidates whose political ideology is consistent with our platform) instead of using it to try to buy politicians they think they can control, we'll continue to get more of the same.

I wonder if they remember Specter came up with the "magic bullet theory".
