Top conservatives from across Texas descended on Mt Pleasant on June 12th and 13th for the 3rd Annual Conservative Conference and Texas Republican Assembly Convention. Grassroots training was provided on Friday afternoon and evening by Rick Green from Wallbuilders.com . Rick’s presentations were top notch and were conveyed in a way that made you want more information and training! Dinner Friday night was at the prestigious Selah Ranch of Mt. Vernon and was a refreshing break from the run of the mill conference dinners.

Saturday brought an awesome morning with some of the best known conservatives in Texas, including Cathie Adams of Texas Eagle Forum, Tom Pauken, Chairman of the Texas Workforce Commission and former Republican Party of Texas Chair, Congressman Louie Gohmert, Texas Land Commissioner Jerry Patterson and State Representative Leo Berman, a potential candidate for Texas Governor, and many others. President McNamara presented Congressman Gohmert with the "Reagan Legacy Award for 2009" as part of the annual conference.

The business portion of the meeting Saturday afternoon had its own excitement. A contested race for TXRA President left Mike McNamara, the incumbent, standing. Other winners, in uncontested races, and on the official nominating committees preferred slate included Michael Gallops, Vice President (his opponent declined the nomination from the floor); Michele Samuelson, National Committeewoman; and Tim Bradberry, National Committeeman. Michael replaced Ed Check who had previously been VP but who chose not to run again and Tim replaced Steve Hollern who ran for President.

Bert Topper was reappointed as TXRA Treasurer and Carolyn Polish of the Dallas County Republican Assembly was appointed TXRA Secretary, replacing Sue Evenwel who stepped down. Sue was primarily responsible for planning and coordinating the entire weekend event and did a fabulous job! Sue and Bert were recognized by President McNamara for their contributions to the Texas Republican Assembly.

It's a very dangerous situation when any huge multinational corporation wages war against media companies. Especially when that huge multinational corporation is General Electric, which itself owns a media company, NBC Universal, and it's using all its power and influence and money to try to harm another media company, Nielsen, and Nielsen Business Media, and its trade publication The Hollywood Reporter.

May Posterity Forget You Were Our Countrymen

We want principled and outspoken leaders that do not give a damn about the good opinion of the corrupt press or foreign princes or the approval of the "other side of the isle." We want you to go for the jugular, we want you to expose the corruption, uncover the deceit, shout out your condemnation and outrage and hit them again and again and again. We want you to get mad at the trillions in theft and act mad. Do not pull your punches and do not back down from the fight. We want you act like Patriots and save this country, because the consequences, despite our wealth and despite our power, are the same as they were at our founding.

Health Freedom vs. Health Fascism

The immediate, fundamental point to grasp about the "health care crisis" in America today is that it hasn't got anything to do with health care. There is a big difference between an excuse and a purpose. The issue of health care is the excuse for the crisis. The purpose, like that of its predecessors - the Poverty Crisis, the Drug Crisis, the Energy Crisis, the Environmental Crisis [most especially today, "global warming"] - is to be a rationale for the expansion of governmental power.
