I got a report about the Texas Republican Convention last night from a few people who were there. The news was not good. I still had high hopes that the people who believe in following the Constitution(Ron Paul supporters) would make a good showing and have their voices heard.

Sadly, we have a lot of work still ahead of us. Dr. Paul was not even allowed to speak at the convention. People who tried to mention Dr. Paul were shouted down and had their mics cut off. The 17 year old son of our County Convention Chairman was "detained" or "removed" just for asking Governor Rick Perry a question about the Trans-Texas Corridor. He told Perry that I-69 would run through his parents' home. Apparently that qualifies as a terroristic threat.

The establishment has a firm hold on this party. I know that is not breaking news to you. We must continue to push harder at a local level. We must purge the party of all establishment types and neocon boot-lickers.
