King Street Patriots, True the Vote Host Anita MonCrief
On Monday, September 27th, KSP and TTV are hosting ACORN whistleblower Anita MonCrief. You can read more about her here. Check the flyer below for details. King Street’s offices are at the SE corner of Northwest Mall and this one will be overflowing, so be sure to get there early if you want a good seat. This presentation will be Harris County specific and will include updates on True the Vote’s efforts, which if you have been following the Houston Votes saga, are critical.
Kingwood Tea Party Hosts “Meet Our Local Candidates Night”
On Wednesday, September 29th, Kingwood Tea is a non-partisan tea party group, which sets it apart from King Street and several other groups. Yes, I know that all tea party groups are technically not affiliated with the Republican Party but for all practical purposes, most of the groups in our area are Republican oriented. Kingwood Tea has remained true to the original goal of pushing conservative values regardless of party. Founder Robin Lennon, Larry Lane, and Eric Zuleger are to be commended for that.
If you by chance do not believe me, remember, they hosted a forum for Bill White back in May, which he features on his website. Also recall that back before the primary, they hosted a non-partisan judicial forum.
I will make certain that all candidates for these county-wide races know about this forum: County Judge, County Clerk, District Clerk, and Tax Assessor Collector. I hear an awful lot of “I’m going to be working for all the people of Harris County” from each of the candidates for these positions. There is a push by some Republicans to get people to cross over and vote for 1 or more of the Democrats in these races. Let’s see if they are truly interested in reaching out to all people. Are you listening Loren Jackson?
I’ve already confirmed that several Libertarian Party candidates will attend, including David Smith, who is challenging Ted Poe. Obviously, Poe is popular among Republicans and conservatives but he is not pure and perfect and deserves a strong challenge. It appears that Mr. Smith will be able to make a dent in Poe’s easy elections streak, how much of one remains to be seen, but a dent he is making. I hope that Rep. Poe finds the time to attend this event as well.

Houston Area Tea Party Homerun Rally
Wrapping up the week on Saturday, October 2nd, Dale Huls and Clear Lake Tea Party have come up with an interesting idea. This is from Dale:
The CLTP has set up a no rent, full facilities and security venue for Tea Party, 912, and other conservative groups to gather together and show the current powers that be that the conservative movement in Texas is as strong as it has ever been and elections are on the horizon. The CLTP has worked up something we hope will be special for the tea party movement about a month out from the Mid-term November elections. The CLTP has worked with the Houston Astros organization and they have consented to a “Tea Party” day at Minute Maid Park on October 2, vs the Cubs (the Chicago Way – ironic isn’t it).
The Astros do not consider the tea parties to be knuckle dragging, racist haters and bigots. They have shown us every courtesy and why not – are not the tea parties as American as baseball, hotdogs, and apple pie. They have said we can wear our tea party gear, bring hand-held signs, and rally up between innings. This is our chance right before the elections to re-energize our base and show that tea partiers, 912ers, and other conservative grassroots are still in the fight for November.
If a couple hundred show up, it means we get to watch a baseball game with a discount. If 1000 to 5000 show up, we probably get some local media attention. However, if more show up, it is a national statement to the press, to Congress, and to the American people that the tea party movement is still strong and we will make a difference in November. Can you imagine ESPN, Fox News, and other news sources ignoring a rally at a baseball game – America’s past time sport.
See the flyer below for complete details.
It is time to make a stand for America. If we don’t do it now, we never will. FIGHT BACK!
