WHY I’M RUNNING

I am running for Congress because of my deep concern over the direction our country is taking — away from the conservative Constitutional founding principles which made this nation great, and rapidly toward Western European socialism — which will make us weaker, less prosperous, less safe and less free. We cannot allow two more years of Nancy Pelosi as Speaker of the House or irreparable harm will be done to our country. I am the first conservative candidate from the 30th District who can actually defeat the incumbent, and she must be defeated this year. I will do so!

With regard to the issues, I want to stop the tyranny of the liberal-progressive majority in Washington D.C. Individual issues in the traditional sense, while important (because they are where votes in Congress play out), are not at the core my candidacy; nor are they as telling as one’s fundamental values and beliefs. My candidacy is about conservative, Constitutional principles of limited government, free enterprise, individual responsibility, personal freedom and national security. Because my guiding principle, my stand on individual issues will be correct. Every vote, on every issue, must be weighed against the unchanging original intent of the framers of our Constitution with respect to the limited role of our federal government.

To do this, I need help. Your help in volunteering your time and efforts to the campaign would be deeply appreciated.

exas District 30 of the United States House of Representatives serves parts of central Dallas (including the downtown and uptown areas), west Dallas, and east Dallas, and all of south Dallas plus the southern suburbs south to the boundary of Dallas County.

The boundaries of District 30 are shown on the map (link).

Eddie Bernice Johnson has represented the district since its creation in 1993.

She is the most liberal, tax and spend congressperson from Texas. She has done nothing to help District 30 participate in the growth and success that the rest of Texas has enjoyed.

She has consistently voted for:

Job-Killing Higher Taxes and Regulation

Government Handouts and Bailouts

Big Government Control of Health Care

Abortion (she now wants taxpayers to pay for)

Status Quo Public Education

great video address by Stephen Broden

Stephen Broden on engagement with the Tea Party to examine what is happening, tyranny, and to prevent this administration from changing this nation according to Saul Alinsky principles that deny liberty and freedom, our founding principles. LIMIT the government according to our Constitution.

We need to be good stewards. We’ve been fat and sassy. The foxes are in the hen house. Out of uneasiness comes awakening.

Challenge of our response it to target and focus our movement to resist and repel what the liberal Left is doing to us. We do that when we are informed and educated.

Our leaders must have the strategy to rescue our nation with our founding principles, not only fiscal conservatism but appreciative of our traditional American Christian-Judeo values.

/Recall that Fred Thompson’s potus campaign was FOUNDING PRINCIPLES.
