WooTV!

July 20th, 2010

Wootv.us is a conservative alternative to youtube…Looks like people have wised up to the political slant of searches and yanked videos on youtube. Some time ago we noticed the issues with youtube (just try searching for Sarah Palin, you’ll see that nothing comes up except the smears on Palin). Those are organized, and orchestrated efforts by Youtube to marginalize content by conservatives.

Anyway, now there’s Wootv. Check this out -

Rappers suggesting people to NOT watch regular propaganda TV….

money for nothing

And Jeremy Hoop’s new music video – is that the Boerne town square about a third of the way through?

Rise up from the tea party

Enjoy!

Future of Tea Party Movement

May 2nd, 2010

Glenn Reynolds, of www.InstaPundit.Com, has the following article in the Washington Examiner which is worth going through.

Since February 2009 we have seen a new political force in the USA.  From the article:

“In many states, Tea Partiers are taking over the local GOP apparatus, running for precinct chairman or other low level offices, as they try to take over the party from the ground up….But rallies without follow-through are just rallies. And the Tea Party movement is now following through with the grunt work of politics: Organizing precincts, waging primary battles, registering voters, and compiling mailing lists.”

Texas has a number of swing districts up for grabs, which I intend to post emails from the conservative contenders for those districts.  Let’s hear what they have to say.

Is it possible to have a Texas wide, coordinated effort to win those swing districts?

Richard Viguerie at FreedomFest 2010 in Las Vegas

July 10th, 2010

ffest1 Richard Viguerie at FreedomFest 2010 in Las Vegas

FreedomFest is an annual meeting of Austrian free market economists, Libertarians, Tea Party members, and others who just want more freedom in their lives. Viguerie is a brilliant speaker who has been at many Tea Parties, and had comments which I’ve hopefully summarized accurately below. He’s President of ConservativeHQ.Com.

A great book was the Starfish and the Spider. Cut a leg off the starfish, it grows another one. Cut the head off a spider, it dies. So did the Inca civilization, but that didn’t work against the Apache. That’s the advantage of a leaderless group, and that’s what the Tea Party is.

If McCain had been elected, the 2010 midterms would have been catastrophic for the conservative cause. All of the events which had happened would have been blamed on McCain, and they would have gained a huge victory in the midterms. Now with Obama in office and the Tea Party influence we have an actual chance to correct the problems with the country. Not a certainty, but at least a chance.

The history of these people (Progressives) is that they bide their times and they can wait a long long time. It would be a disaster if conservatives supported a third party. Three times I’ve been involved in helping conservatives take over the Republican party. This fourth time, I think we can take it over and keep it. Where our methods for Reagan involved an innovative direct mail campaign, today it’ll be the Internet which leveled the playing field with respect to communication. It gives us an opportunity to come to power with communications without gatekeepers who decide what is important and what’s not. That genie is out of the bottle and we are not ever going back to those days of gatekeepers. No credible case has ever been made as to how a third party could govern America and the opponent we face is the most serious and dangerous ever faced in this country.

Instead of a third party, what we need is a third force. The left has had enormous sucess with a third force. Think the environmental, the feminist, the race action groups. We need to paraphrase Mao TseTung to let a thousand conservative groups flower.

Audience questions:

“I’m a Libertarian. What would induce me to join forces with the Republicans when they haven’t advanced the cause of freedom”

I’ve never seen a Libertarian come forth with a plan to govern this country. If you’re a Libertarian the best way for you to influence the country is to work within and try to take over the Republican party.

“When Reagan came to power he gave the VP slot to a country club Republican. How do we avoid having this happen again?”

All day long these elected representatives see lobbyist after lobbiest whose sole goal is to increase government. We cannot go back to ignoring what happens in Washington after the election. I don’t trust the committees – don’t give money to the Republican or the state committees, give it directly to conservative candidates. I don’t trust those groups.

Right now we need someone with whom we can “park our vote” and right now it is Jim DeMmint. It may change later, but for now let’s make him the standard against whom other candidates can rank themselves. I try to look for one characteristic in a candidate and thats “Are they a boat – rocker” because we don’t have a lot of time left in this country. That’s people like Jim DeMint, Sharron Angle, and Rand Paul. And will they base their vote on the Constitution. Will they challenge and oppose the present Republican leadership?

It is the Tea Party people who have made the difference in Obama’s agenda. It had very little if anything to do with Bainer and McConnell and Michael Steele.

“Why wasn’t Ron Paul more sucessful at the presidential race?”

There’s a book called A Glorious Disaster. It’s like when Barry Goldwater launched his candidacy for president, he knew he’d never be president. He did it to launch the conservative movement. It’s been said “Barry Goldwater won the 1964 election. It just took 16 years to count the votes”. We need to support many of our candidates and maybe from them the next Goldwater or Reagan will arise.

But don’t wait for people to tell you what to do. Get up and rush to the sound of the guns.

Bryan Underwood (D28 R Challenger) Invites Obama to South Texas

June 4th, 2010

Yes, Bryan has suggested that the current incumbent Henry Cuellar (D-28) could use some “help” this November, and Obama would be just the one to come down and “help”. Now that would cinch the loss for Cuellar and be interesting to boot.

Here’s Bryan talking about the upcoming challenges in a radio interview.

“Bryan is running on on a platform to repeal and replace Obamacare, defeat the job-killing Cap and Tax plan, reduce taxes, cut spending, make regulations smarter, and support and defend the Constitution of the United States.”

Plano and North DFW “Boot Camp” 6-19-2010 for Informed Activists

June 9th, 2010

.

Looks like a great session! From the description -

.

Today, Americans around the country are making their voices heard as never before. And it’s a good thing, because American democracy only works with an educated and informed electorate.


But to be the most effective citizen possible, you need to be informed on the key issues of the day, so that you can educate your fellow citizens and interact in an informed way with elected officials and their staff.


There’s no need to dust off that old civics textbook or to get a degree in political science or economics. IPI is pleased to offer the second installment of our half-day Policy Boot Camp to help you get up-to-speed on tax and fiscal policy, restoring attention to Tenth Amendment limitations on the federal government, the latest on the health care reform fiasco, and a special section on new threats to the Internet.

.
Plan to attend and sign up here. But remember – after Boot Camp you need to put them boots on the ground and go take over a precinct or two!

Texas Republican Convention and “Sensible Immigration Policy”

June 9th, 2010

Alice Linahan notes that for those attending the Convention, or whom want to understand what’s going on in Texas politics, watch out for attempts to slip in things that sound like one thing but are actually quite different. Quoting from her not to the North Texas Mid Cities Power to the People Mailing list –
.


The delegates and the Platform Committee are being asked to adopt a change to the Republican Party Platform regarding illegal aliens. The change is titled ?Stop Illegal Immigration?, and urges ?Congress to develop a SENSIBLE IMMIGRATION POLICY?. This change to the party platform is being advanced by Mr. Norm Adams of Houston. It has the support of many in the construction industry that hire illegal aliens and those that recruit them to come to the United States.
Should the delegates adopt this resolution it will be used in efforts to thwart any attempts by the Texas Legislature to pass a bill similar to Arizona, or any other bill that holds employers liable for hiring illegal aliens.
A close examination of the resolution reveals a cleverly crafted document meant to confuse, convince and convert the reader. Careful examination reveals the true intent.

.
Good points!

A note from Bill Flores, District TX-17

July 8th, 2010

This morning Bill Flores sent an email that notes the following issue with his opponent Chet Edwards. Bill is running for District 17 of Texas.

Congressman Chet Edwards (D-TX) provided one of three deciding votes that allowed legislation to pass which protected Democrats from having to vote for an actual budget. As a member of the House Budget Committee, this is one of his most important responsibilities as a Congressman.

For the first time since 1974 Congress will not be passing an annual budget, missing an opportunity to provide spending discipline, cut the deficit, and rein-in out of control government spending. Instead, on July 1, with the help of Chet Edwards, Congress passed legislation which does not responsibly set spending limits and account for deficit projections.

Chet Edwards has abdicated his responsibilities, rather than show leadership and pass a responsible budget that begins to control deficit spending.

You don’t have to live in district 17 to help Bill Flores defeat Chet Edwards, because we all would benefit from this upstart. Not just the people in D-17.

July 8th, 2010

Here is what Chet Edwards stated about Barack Obama:
