Attend Your Precinct Convention
Do you want to put a stop to establishment politicians serving special interests instead of the people? Do you want to see a return to constitutional government and respect for individual life, liberty, and property? Do you want to see an end to property tax and a restoration of state sovereignty in Texas?
We Texans know that the first step toward achieving these goals is electing Debra Medina Governor of Texas. What you may not realize is that there is more you can do that is just as important, and you need to do it tomorrow night after the primary.
Step 1: Vote for Debra Medina in the Republican Primary on or before March 2nd.
Step 2: Attend your Republican Precinct Convention after the polls close March 2nd--become a delegate to the County or Senate District Convention and carry forward votes in favor of creating new party rules that make Republican candidates and office holders accountable to We Texans.
Voting in the primary is the first step in taking back your state and your country. One thing the establishment doesn't want you to realize is that you can do so much more.
You do not need to just beg your representatives to vote the right way and hope they hear you. You do not need to just send Debra Medina as Governor to wrestle with the legislature on her own to end the property tax and protect state sovereignty. You yourself can directly carry forward what you want from your representatives and cast a vote on it yourself to which they MUST pay attention.
The political party is one of the most powerful forces to promote the will of the people mankind has ever created, but that power is wasted if not used. We as the party CAN hold our elected officials accountable. We control who is allowed to run on the Republican ballot in Texas. We can use this power to require candidates and incumbents to tell us where they stand on the platform and we can hold them accountable if they lie to us. We can use this power to establish and enforce term limits that apply to anyone wanting to run as a Republican for any state or federal office.
The methods for achieving these goals are well understood and have been upheld in the courts time and time again, as recently as 2008 and as high as the presidential campaign level. The process is not complex but REQUIRES your involvement at party conventions the night of the primary and then again for a few days in the spring and summer. The establishment and special interests do not want this accountability and want to deny us the right to exercise this power. We will only win by making sure we have more votes present than they do.
We need your help. Find out when and where your precinct convention is tomorrow night, and attend. 90% of the time it will be at the place you voted right after the polls close, but each county sets their own time and place. This information will be posted at your polling place tomorrow or available from your county Republican party. Your precinct convention has the duty of electing delegates to the County and Senate District Conventions, and sending resolutions with those delegates. Both delegates and resolutions will eventually make their way to the Republican Party State Convention in June.
Attend your convention. Bring the resolutions available at www.medinafortexas.com/convention. Become a delegate to the County and Senate District Conventions, and vote in favor of other like-minded individuals becoming delegates. Present our resolutions and vote in favor of the party adopting the new rules they call for.
Do not expect someone else to do this for you. Do not assume establishment party officials who say all the right things about conservative principles will do anything differently than they have been. This is the battle, and it is here and now. Individual liberty demands personal responsibility.
For liberty and Texas,
