The link leads a Facebook group titled: Draft David Barton for US Senate. According to the page,
This group is set up to alert the grassroots that there is a movement taking place that would like to encourage David Barton with Wallbuilders to run for the US Senate against John Cornyn.
Currently, the group has 394 members.
I hope he runs since it would shed more light on his history lessons and other curious statements.
UPDATE:
Apparently, there is some buzz building about this idea. This supporter of Barton believes the rumors are legitimate. As of the morning of Oct. 29, the group now has over 1000 members.
If everyone followed your example, we would be a pure democracy, voting for hundreds, if not thousands of candidates. That is not what our Founding Fathers wanted - we are a Republic!

Because of your low esteem for the vote, you helped Obama be our President!
But you advocate a Democracy! Thanks to your ilk that vote third Party, we may lose Virginia.

And you still have not given any data that supports this statement.
That’s just pure nonsense. Republican self-government cannot survive when you have only socialists offered by the phony “two-party,” which is really one party, system.
I get the sense that you don’t know much about what American republicanism really is.
I’m about as far from believing in democracy as you can get.
In fact, politically, I’m about as republican as it gets.
“[D]emocracy will soon degenerate into an anarchy, such an anarchy that every man will do what is right in his own eyes and no man’s life or property or reputation or liberty will be secure, and every one of these will soon mould itself into a system of subordination of all the moral virtues and intellectual abilities, all the powers of wealth, beauty, wit and science, to the wanton pleasures, the capricious will, and the execrable cruelty of one or a very few.” — John Adams, An Essay on Man’s Lust for Power, 1763
“A democracy is a volcano which conceals the fiery materials of its own destruction.” — Fisher Ames
“The known propensity of a democracy is to licentiousness which the...ignorant believe to be liberty.” — Fisher Ames
And I'm not going to. I don't have the documents in my possession, and don't know where to find them. They're old history. But, I know what I saw. If you want to call me a liar, I don't care. Your opinion of my veracity doesn't mean that much to me - based on your rude, baseless comments to me on this thread.
I take it you never heard of the Tea Party. I get the sense you don't know much about how our Republic works - but your ilk do plenty to destroy it.
Yeppers, I am debating a defenseless opponent.
"In fact, politically, I’m about as republican as it gets."
You can say and quote what you say you are all you want; your actions speak Democracy. Even Obama can say Obamacare works - it does not make it true!
.
You don’t know what debate is any better than you know what democracy is.
See ya.
Yeppers, once again, an apponent that comes defenceless into a debate and now going away a brused and battered loser.
Whatever. After your behavior on this thread, I don’t care a fig about your opinion of me.
But, if you ever decide you want to demonstrate some decency and goodwill, get back to me and we’ll talk.
That's rich, especially since you were the one that began with false accusations and name calling. Frankly, the only reason i waisted my time with you is to make sure readers here see the truth, which you so obviously lack.
.
Well, consider your time “waisted” then.
Only with you. I reiterate; there are others that read these posts
Make sure you bow to your audience.
And you to your mirror.
The days of folks like you being able to bludgeon conservatives into supporting liberal GOP candidates are coming to an end.
Get used to it.
