Now, the only bottleneck for conservative legislation rests on the speaker’s dais in the House.

Bryan Hughes is challenging Straus for the Speaker.

It's time to OUST Straus!

Godspeed and Good Luck, Texas. Job well done so far!

Hopefully this will catch on here in Florida and other states

This is about Straus, but the same theory applies.

Give Dewhurst the Boot in 2014 (((Ping List)))

To be added or removed from this list, freepmail me.
This is a low volume ping list at this time.

When the campaigns call for help, your first question should be who their choice is for Speaker.

You and all your friends in your house district should go FAR further than that!

You should put YOUR state rep on notice that his first vote in the next session will be closely watched and voting for anything less than a REAL conservative will not be tolerated!

I was redistricted into a liberal district and do not even have a republican running. I can only make it a condition for helping or donating to a campaign.

We should try to organize a list of those willing to vote against Straus.

If you want me to track that on my 'Boot' notes, I'll keep the record of it, and publish it on my FR page.

There are 150 of the bastards politicians to track. I'll see if I can't pull a list together, so folks can say who will vote against Straus.

Personally, I'd rather see him primaried out.

You can probably write off the solid democrat seats, so the list will likely be less than 120.

We should probably contact Bryan Hughes and see how we can be most effective other than influencing our representatives.

I got that part, but who is he? Yes, he's a representative. I have no factual data about him and his positions, history, etc.... Do you know him?

I worked harder and spent more money on Matt Bebe (the fellow who ran against him in the primary this year) than any other race so far this cycle. It didn't work and now we have to deal with him in the next session of the legislature. He must not be re-elected speaker!

That's the kind of stuff I'm looking for. Added to the notes file under Straus.

This is quickly turning into a Boot the Establishment kind of exersize.

There is a link to an hour long interview of Bryan in the article I linked to earlier if you should care to listen to it.

Just added “OustStraus” to the keywords. Let’s enter it as a keyword for all further antiRINO Texas threads...
