Just say no to the GOP and Fox News.

Today as I was driving to pick up my hubby from work, I was listening to Sean Hannity's radio show, and was surprised to hear yet another banishment of candidates within the Tea Party movement or the Tea Party itself. Sean inferred in one of his comments that the Tea Party Movement is becoming a problem for the Republican Party. Recently the anchors of various other Fox News shows have attempted to impact political races across the country, where a Tea Party candidate is going against the establishment incumbent. It appears to me that Fox News is walking in very dangerous territory. But maybe not. Maybe it is we who have sent Fox News the wrong message. All of a sudden Fox News is fearful of the Tea Party Movement and somehow believes it is their role to inform the people how they should be voting.

Media in politics is not a bad thing, we garner great information from these news sources, but that is all they are suppose to be; news sources. They do not vet candidates, or control the campaigns of candidates. There is however, reason for Fox News and the establishment (they seem to be wanting to protect), to fear. Many of the candidates within the Tea Party movement hold to the principles of the Constitution and its focus on States Rights. In a panel discussion on our Conservative Moms Blog Talk radio show on February 4th we talked about what America would look like as a Constitutionally governed nation. As I heard many of the opinions and ideas that came forth, I realized why Fox News, the Republican Party, the Democratic Party and other establishment groups would want to do away with the Tea Party movement and their candidates.

This movement consist of ordinary everyday citizens who see that the current political process has failed us. Those who support the ideologies of the Tea Party movement are those who desire to return to a government, by the people, of the people and for the people. Within this movement the people select candidates they believe fit their values, they research them and vet them and then provide support in building up their campaigns. It appears from what I have noticed that somehow the GOP just may be becoming just a little bit irriated with the success of the Tea Party movement. They are becoming like little flies that won't go away.

The Tea Party movement actually has a life of its own and could very well succeed without the GOP. They could provide the American people with candidates who can bring America back to the principles of the founding fathers. They can provide us with candidates who understand the Constitution and state sovereignty and provide us with the means of becoming the republic America was designed to become. I am a member of various tea party groups in the Houston area and I am impressed with the work they have accomplished and the grassroots success they have been able to experience. However, Tea Party members must realize that their goals actually threaten the existence of the big money party machines.

There is a reason that Fox News is beginning to turn on the Tea Party movement and have attempted to scold the Tea Parties instead of get behind them. Those within the Tea Party movement believe in citizen leadership. They are not looking for polished politicans but candidates who will be true to our constitution and principles as conservative leaders. Tea Party members also are not looking at party affiliation, which means that they could eventually consume many voters from both parties, which constitutes another danger to both the Democrat and Republican Party. So when the Tea Parties can not be bullied to fold under the GOP the next move is to attack them.

I hope that leaders within the Tea Party movement remain strong and focused. That they will continue their successful strategy of raising up grassroots candidates who know and understand the Constitution and the role it plays in government. Tomorrow begins early voting for the primaries and I am fully backing a real Tea Party candidate who has received the stamp of approval as a real threat to the establishment. I thought that we had learned from Sarah Palins bid for the Vice Presidency what happens when a candidate who is dangerous comes on the scene. The first sign of a threat is attack and sabatoge. Seeing this happen to Debra Medina has provided solid confidence that she is the candidate to get behind. When the establishment media and GOP attacks a candidate voters should be able to discern that this candidate is a threat and usually the candidate to vote for.

Debra Medina holds all the characteristics that we need in Texas. The Declaration of Independence provides that if we find that our government has become obscured with abuse and corruption that we as the people who establish our government have the right to elect a new one. In order to know when our government becomes corrupt and abusive we can not have our heads in the sand believing that our government is perfect. Our government is run by sinful men and women who do sinful things. Which means that those who run our government are capable of doing any evil thing that may exist. I believe that there are many unanswered questions about 9/11 and just in my calculation of the events that unfolded, some things just do not sit right. We were all left with inconclusive facts about 9/11, some we can not know others have been lost and compromised.

Our candidates must be voted on because of their campaign platform and how it will impact our lives, not by which tv celebrity endorses them. This is why America sits at the verge of being destroyed. As I look at Debra's platform I have concluded that her principles best fit my values as a Christian Conservative. I am surprised at how fast one Christian can turn against another when it comes to politics. Rick Perry has provided no Conservative policies within his tenure as Governor. He mostly give great conservative campaign messages. The roads and highways in Texas are terrible and need major repair. Interstate 10 that runs through Texas has been in construction in one stretch of the highway for 14 years. That does not make any sense to me. Rick Perry signed a Partial Birth abortion bill that allows late term abortion beyond the 7th month of pregnancy, this to me does not reflect a pro-life conservative candidate, when it was in his powers to ban the procedures all together. I can not in good conscience vote for he or Kay.

He is deceptively saying that the Texas Corridor is dead and it is not. Governor Perry embraces socialist big government spending. He is not a grassroots conservative candidate as a governor, but he is as a campaigner. I have looked at the evidence of his job performance and do not see a person that deserves my vote. When I make my choice at the ballot box, that choice will not only impact me, but my fellow Texas citizens. I must use the voting rights I have obtain to ensure a better quality of life not just for me and my family, but for all Texans. I will not allow Fox News to determine who I will vote for, I have the Scriptures that gives me the wisdom and discernment to make the right choice.

I am thankful for the hard work and dedication of so many leaders and organizations within the Tea Party movement that have allowed those with Conservative principles to have a better choice in candidates. We must continue to capitalize on the success made by the Tea Party movement and just say no to the GOP and Fox News, because America deserves better.

Glenn Beck exposes himself as a plant for the GOP in interview with Debra Medina

This morning I awoke to a rushed day of early meetings in the morning and a host of other appointments throughout the day. But my hurried scheduled did not diminish the excitement and anticipating of listening to the Glenn Beck show. Glenn had finally agreed to have one of the candidates who is running for Governor of Texas on his radio show.Debra Medina the grassroots conservative candidate in Texas would finally get her opportunity to tell the people of America her vision for the state of Texas. I was surprised that Glenn Beck had all of a sudden changed his mind about interviewing her, but "oh well", it was an opportunity for Debra. I was to be on the road traveling to a meeting at the time the radio interview was supposed to be aired, so the first thing I did as I started my van, was to turn my radio on. The show was in the middle of a commerical so I waited with excitement as we were nearing the top of the hour, when Debra would be on. It was a very wet day here in Houston, and so I was both distracted by the weather, the drivers in the weather, and the soon appearance of Debra Medina on the Glenn Beck Show.

Well after a brief news update, the time had come and sure enough, Glenn Beck starts the segment by talking up candidates who had come from no where. My excitement turned to smiling as I heard Mr. Beck slowly ease into the Texas Governors race what I heard actually surprised me as he was totally denouncing Rick Perry the current Governor of Texas. The stage had been perfectly set for the introduction of Debra Medina the come from behind candidate in our Governors race.

So Mr. Beck introduces Debra and then starts with his first interview question which was "Who is Debra Medina?". I could sense tension in his voice as if he was annoyed or irritated, but I awaited Debra's answer and out came her firm strong response. "Good job", I thought. "You tell him", Debra, was more like it. The next question was the property tax question, and again she sailed through that answer as well. Then all of a sudden came the 9/11 truther question. And I thought, "what's that about?" I really did not know what a "truthers" was but after hearing Glenn Beck explain I was not phased by it or Debra's answer. However, what happened next was totally unexpected.

My very first thought after he rushed her off the phone, and then began ridiculing her was that this was a classic setup. He totally staged everything perfectly and then attempted to destroy her bid for Governor, just by labeling her a truther. I actually laughed at the obvious ploy of this so-called interview and though nothing of it. After hanging up with Debra he and Pat Gray his co-host laughed about how he wanted to french kiss Rick Perry, I was totally surprised by his jollying with this being that he confesses to be a Christian. Insinuating homosexual pleasures is not something I would think that a Christian man would take so haphazardly. But it seemed like child's play for Glenn Beck. When I arrived at my meeting the look on my friends face was like total horror. My first thought was, "what happened? what's wrong?", then they relayed to me the dimise Debra faced with her inteview with Glenn Beck.

Just last night as my family and I were out grocery shopping I saw Rick Perry on the cover of a Texas magazine, showcasing his bid for the 2012 Presidential election. Of course this would be news here but maybe not in New York, or California or in another state where this would not have any relevance. So then I remembered the article, I remembered Sarah Palin's endorsement of Rick Perry, I remembered Glenn Becks sudden disdain for Rick Perry and then his all of sudden admiration for him again. There it was. I knew right then what this was all about and it became as laughable as watching an episode of "Word Girl" with my daughter. Does Glenn Beck think that the people of Texas is that naive and gullible that we would not see through his little ploy today?

After appearing on the Glenn Beck show and deciding not to play by his rules, I too discovered a different side of Mr. Beck. One of the things that came to my mind is the fact that Glenn Beck ridicules Debra Medina, while he holds to beliefs that many of us may deem unusual as well. As a Mormon, there are many doctrines and teachings that those in the Christian faith would deem just as unusual as Glenn Beck finds as to the beliefs of "truthers". First of all Debra Medina is not a truther, yet, he displays that she is a truther on his website at www.glennbeck.com. This is dishonest at best and I am sure Mr. Beck would not appreciate anyone making a claim that he believes something that he does not. However, Glenn Beck showed up today as a plant for the GOP, one who has disdain for those who "question their government with boldness", as he once called the American people to do, and not the so called independent thinker he positions himself to be when he wants to stir up the American people.

Americans should have no more patience for dirty politics and the antics of the party machine that only wishes to use the American voter as pawns for their future careers. I use to think that Glenn Beck was a person for the people. But now when he desires to push on the people of Texas a career politicians who has his eyes not on governing Texas but running for President, I see him as just another plant for the party establishment.

Who will Save America? It won't be the Tea Party GOP

Only God can deliver America from her many tyrants and enemies. We are discovering first hand that America has many underlying issues that will not be solved by the change in our political make up. It is not who leads our government but the content of that individuals character and their desire to bring back the God-inspired principles our founding fathers created in establishing this nation. Our current generations have not experience the concept of America designed by our founding fathers. Since the turn of the century America has been hijacked by big-government pundits and the promoters of globalization.

Even within our two party political systems, a Constitutional America is a threat and detriment to the establishments that are. On the one hand, the Constitution of the United States dismantles the big government goals of the Democrat platform and on the other; the Constitution dismantles the path of globalization of the establishment of the GOP. Both sides have everything to lose and so both sides will do whatever they can to totally destroy any movement that threatens their ambitions. The only benefactors of a Constitutional America are the states and the citizens of said states. As Americans have been distracted by the routines of life and the relentless attempts to attain to the American Dream, our political parties have set out to destroy our nation.

The new uprising of candidates who embrace our Constitution, states rights and state sovereignty are no friends to the establishment. We are now seeing the taking over of the once grassroots Tea Party movement by the icons of the GOP. On Thursday a national Tea Party convention was held with national speakers who represented the GOP and in one article it was said that the GOP should absorb what is going on in the Tea Party Movement. http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748703427704575051242901. however, here in Texas the only grassroots Constitutional activist, Debra Medina has been ignored. First they implore support of grassroots tea party candidates then they at the same time ignore them. Sarah Palin was in Houston this weekend and in viewing a clip of her speech she only gave credence to the two major GOP candidates, the incumbent, Rick Perry and the Washington insider Senator Kay Bailey Hutchinson. These were the types that the tea partiers were suppose to be banishing from political offices across the country. Ms. Palin made no mention of Debra Medina who is the true grassroots tea party candidate in our Governors race.

So why in one venue the tea party candidates are embellished with praise and in another this same type of candidate is ignored. What is different here is that Debra Medina is not only a tea party candidate but she is also a student of the constitution who embraces states rights and would enforce the constitution in the state of Texas. Mrs. Medina is dangerous and is a threat to the GOP establishment. Most Tea Party candidates are those who desire to stop tax and spend. What is becoming more evident is that there is a new movement that is not a friend to the establishment and threatens the anti-American policies of both parties. At Conservative Moms for America we support candidates who are grassroots in that they desire to bring America back to the God-inspired principles of our founding fathers.

Our candidates are those who support the Constitution of the United States and the enforcing of states rights and state sovereignty. In Nevada, Bill Parson’s is the candidate we have endorsed to replace Harry Reid’s Senate seat, but he has received no coverage from the GOP or so-called “conservative news media”. In Georgia, Michael Frisbee, another Constitutionalist candidate, running for the 13th Congressional District in that state has met with the same disregard. Clayton Thibodeaux of California is looking to replace Barbara Boxer one of the most liberal candidates in the state of California. These are all candidates that hold in common their commitment to governing by the Constitution.
We must now recognize a new division in the uprising of political candidates; the Constitutionalist. We have not heard any of the promoters of the tea party movement talking about bringing America back to her founding principles. These organizations are concerned with being “taxed enough already”, not enforcing the Constitution. In fact, according to an article featured on Fox News.com the main focus of the tea party movement is fiscal responsibility. http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2010/02/06/tea-partiers-urge-unity-rifts-movement/. The Constitution is never even mentioned.

In a panel discussion on our weekly blogtalkradio show we discussed the implication of an America governed by our constitution. Since the early 1900 the Constitution of the United States has be discarded by both parties. Many of the big government programs that foster big bucks for both parties would be abolished by a Constitutional America and the funding of the political campaigns on both sides will seek a distinct decline in campaign contributions. Neither party would be able to continue their underlying goals if power is given to the states. So both parties would do themselves a great disservice to back candidates who wish to bring an end to their big money establishments.

The tea party movement only desires to elect candidates that will stop the big government expansion of the Democrat Party, but who will also continue the globalization of the neocon conservatives. With all the uprising and disdain, discontent and frustrations of America's current government, a viable solution will not be gained through the tea party movement. Rebuilding an America that is governed by the God-inspired principles of our founding fathers will be attained by electing candidates who are committed to the freedoms and liberties of the states forged by the US Constitution. We desire to take America back not put a nice face on the same old GOP.

Don't Mess with Texas

This morning I find myself a little perturbed by the recent news of Sarah Palin choice to campaign for Rick Perry for Governor of Texas. At first I thought, “What?” But quickly I understood how someone who presented themselves as Sarah did can become an endorser of someone like Rick Perry. Now I live in Houston, Texas the largest city in Texas and I know what living in Texas is like. In Houston we have as the monument of Texas the “worlds” second largest abortion super clinic. When I discovered this atrocity was being constructed here, I was at a lost for words. Many see Texas as the stronghold for fundamentalist Baptist teaching and the center of the Bible belt and we have the world’s second largest abortion center? This is the second largest in the entire world. Think about that for a minute.

My question is this. Who are the gatekeepers of Texas? This is not a Houston thing, this is a Texas thing and for our government’s administration and our Senators to allow such funding to enter Texas, someone has not been doing their jobs. The lives of future little Texans hangs in the balance and we must have leaders who truly uphold life and not just do lip service. As a Christian Conservative I believe in upholding Godly principles. And life is a principle that God holds dear. As a voter I choose those who I will support and endorse by the content of a candidates character, not by whether they can bring tears to my eyes in a speech. Our current sitting Governor is a run of the mill GOP good ole boy, the kind Sarah Palin use to work against. Now I know that I am going to make a lot of people mad, but because I am a person of deep conviction and principle, in a nation that is grossly lacking in this type of character, it is expected. From the election of President Obama, I thought that maybe Americans would run from their embracing of “cult politics”, supporting people because of who they are and what they can do to stroke one’s emotions. I was afforded the opportunity to attend the KERA debates in Denton, Texas where Debra Medina, current Governor Rick Perry and Senator Kay Bailey Hutchinson attended. It was embarrassing to see this man get on national TV and act like a kindergartener, then think that anyone would actually vote for him to be re-elected. And Kay showed the classic case of jumping around the issues.

The Tea Party movement also heavily embraces Rick Perry. The Tea Party groups once identified themselves as the engine behind promoting grassroots candidates who were God-fearing and principled. At the debate Rick Perry would not own up to the fact that Texas has lost over 300,000 jobs. He boasted of creating 150,000 jobs, of which all came from the government sector. The property taxes in Texas have risen by 49% and the border problems here are still a joke. These are real issues that Texans must face and find effective solutions to. The only thing Perry did in the debate is showed that he like other career politicians don’t believe that American’s are paying any attention and could care less about the future of their states or nation.

There was at one point in this debate where a student asked a question about an “in of life” law that was imposed in healthcare practices. Neither Rick Perry nor Kay Bailey Hutchinson knew that this law existed. The only person who had a clue was Debra Medina. When I first met Debra I liked her because she has a genuine personality. I first discovered her through a Tea Party meeting that I attended, I immediately requested that she complete our “Mommy Approved Candidates Survey” and she did. I know Debra personally and thought that she would be the kind of candidate Sarah Palin would stand behind and support. I am deeply disappointed in Sarah Palins decision to endorse Rick Perry, however it is her decision to make. I hold dear our freedom to be able to make whatever choices we desire as Americans and I respect that in Sarah Palin’s case as well. I would hope that Texans reject Rick Perry regardless of what big ticket name puts their support behind him. We Texans and we American’s need to return to the God-inspired principles of our founding fathers, a subject Rick Perry or Kay Bailey Hutchinson appear to know little of. Debra Medina is a student of the constitution and understands the working of the Republic that God inspired to be created through our founding fathers.

Conservative Moms for America endorses Debra Medina as Governor of the State of Texas. Being a mom, I desire someone who understands and embraces the concerns I have. Debra is a registered nurse who understands the problems that exist in our current healthcare system and will allow Texas to become a leader in quality healthcare. She home schooled both her children and for me that speaks volumes. She understands “mom politics” and will be a leader in issues that are of concern to moms and the future of our children in issues pertaining to life, education, healthcare and economics. We can not allow Texas to go down the road of electing status quo politicians. Texans deserve better, and so does America. It will be up to the voters of Texas to follow the examples of the voters of Massachusetts, and reject the status quo and elect a candidate that will bring the leadership and quality representation and send a message that our states will be a government established by “we the people” and the confines of our US Constitution and the Declaration of Independents. It bothers me when any outsider try to ram the status quo down the throats of Texans. Don’t tread on us and please “don’t mess with Texas.

What part of "New" does the GOP not Understand?

If it were not so sad, I would laugh at how the GOP leaders appear to be scratching their heads at why American’s keep rejecting them. It appears that they have made attempt after attempt to show American’s that they desire a new image, but they don’t seem to be getting it. It appears as though the GOP leadership has been stuck in a different era of America. There was once upon a time when the all white-male mantra was acceptable in American life. But now not only has America changed but the attitudes of American’s have changed as well. One of the things I believe that signals a great day in America is the message that mainstream American is sending to the GOP. This message is one that says; America no longer desires to be a nation of one people, but desire to do what our anthems, and symbols and monuments signify about us. We are the land of the free and the home of the brave, regardless of race, creed, color, age, religious belief, physical limitations or gender.

Every time I see the new brand of the GOP, I still see the same old exclusive idealism of America’s past. The GOP can not just dress up an old and regrettable chapter in American history. The leadership continues to leave a bad taste in the mouth of most American’s because their image says that nothing has really changed. They speak powerful negative overtones when they come out in their one race platform. Where is the Asian representation within the GOP, or the Jewish, or the Hispanic, or the Pacific Islander? America wants to see more than just a couple of token blacks added to the roster, they want to see that the GOP truly does embrace a united and inclusive platform. American’s also desire to see a strong and confident GOP that truly believes in their party’s ideologies. If there is only one set of ideologies then why do we need a two party system? If the GOP is going to blend in with the Democratic Party then we who are conservatives must understand that we do not have representation in the GOP and another party must be formed.

Could it be, that the GOP is only seeing what they believe is new in their view, while totally ignoring what most American’s are longing for? I believe that unless the two parties are divided by ideologies, the GOP will not win again. While most American’s still hold to traditional values of faith, family and country, many also will reject anything that does not truly resemble what they believe America looks like to them. College students are no longer separated by race. Neighborhoods are made up of a variety of families. School children do not only play with their own kind. They are surrounded by a vast variety of different races, ethnicities, beliefs systems, economic classes and age differences. Yet, they have learned that all of these differences make up what they see as the “new” America. It is a total turnoff in today’s society to see any organization that presents a one race, one class, one gender, one faith, or any other exclusive image.

The GOP is presenting the same leadership, the same disconnect with mainstream America, the same unwillingness to adopt their own party message and they think that American’s will accept it? Hello! When I attended the CPAC Convention in February, there were masses of fresh young faces, with passion and fire for the messages they believed in. Where are all those young people now? Where are Michael Steele and Lynn Swann and Condi and
