Do you call it hypocrisy when a group pretends to be grassroots but is actually funded by one person? Is it hypocrisy when these same faux grassroots groups demand transparency from politicians but want their own finances to remain protected under the cover of darkness?

April 28, 2013 By 22 Comments
First of all I want to say thank you to my friend David Jennings who messaged me inquiring about my recent encounter with the Vacancy Committee. Since his post last week about said encounter I’ve had an outpouring of support from friends, party activists, precinct chairs, and elected officials. I truly appreciate the support of [...]

My very favorite grassroots politician visited my home Republican club and I couldn’t make it! The old back just wouldn’t let me out of the chair. But good news! I asked David Janda to fill us in on the meeting and fortunately, he agreed. For free even! David is a lawyer, Board Member of the [...]
It’s Simple, Really
April 10, 2013 By
Day after day, I read something new or hear something about the latest and greatest invention or “angle” from different groups or individuals within the Republican Block who have the answer on “Outreach.” Notice I didn’t say Republican Party, because I will get to that shortly.

I always wondered why it was considered a civic duty instead [...]

Greater Houston Pachyderms to talk Tort Reform
October 1, 2012 By
Tomorrow’s meeting of the Greater Houston Pachyderm Club should be very, very interesting. Pat Kiley will be the featured speaker on behalf of Texans for Lawsuit Reform. As you are probably aware, there is a move within the conservative Republican ranks to pull back on tort reform. And TLR itself is one of the reasons [...]

September 24, 2012 By
As I noted here, today was the grand opening of the West Side Republican headquarters. I must say that Commissioner Steve Radack really came through – the office is perfectly located and is huge!
