I
am hello everyone my name is kha Rod I'm the candidate for the 22nd congressional
district and I have led the charge throughout my campaign to have the
courage and guts to recognize that we have a failed leadership we have a leadership that is representing a sense
of tragedy in our nation and we need people that are going to have the courage to stand up and tell the truth
and that's what I've done my campaign has has been based on the policy that we have no longer to wait to deal with this
economic crisis that is hitting our country now I have called for the immediate removal and impeachment of a
president of President Obama my campaign has called for I the Democrats that won
53% of the vote calling for President Obama's impeachment we cannot allow for
this president to stay in office and destroy our nation the second thing as I let the charge on saving NASA I can tell
you now my opponent Pete Olsen has done everything to continue to back up and
capitulate to This president's policies including the shutdown of NASA and many of you know that we just gave honor to
our space program and to NASA for what they did in Chile that would not have happened without NASA we have to revive
full funding of our manspace flight that's what I'm calling for we have to put millions of people back to work in
productive jobs and this means a mission orientation for the country this is why I'm calling on a program to
end the bailouts now that's the first step of order and reinstate glass seal banking reorganization what Franklin
Roosevelt put into place back in 1933 to separate the investment Banks from your
savings no speculation on your money and secondly what we have to do is to make
sure that we're investing in our long-term infrastructure projects we can put millions of people to work in
productive jobs now by implementing programs such as the North American Water and Power Alliance you know when Y
F Kennedy was charting the course for a moon landing we were also at the same
time putting projects in place for water infrastructure projects for massive rail
systems for actually transforming the biosphere Greening the deserts we can do
all of these things why aren't we doing them right now because of Wall Street
and we got to kick the Wall Street faction out of the Congress democrat or republican anyone who is capitulating to
these spelled uh policies should be out and this is why you're here today
because you recognize there is a tragedy in our country and it's going to take a movement to go back to those principles
of our constittution of the people for the people and by the people and this is
what we need and we can no longer afford to look at our our country be looked at
as going into a state of a complete economic breakdown crisis we used to be
the model for the entire world what happened to that why are we depending on other nations uh to lead the way into uh
space programs right now why are we leading depending on other nations to lead the way in our energy Pro policies
excuse me but we can go even further nuclear power highspeed rail systems we
can actually have a mission or orentation for the next 25 to 50 years we can make sure that we have a mission
for colonizing the moon and Mars mining helium 3 on the moon all of these things
that we used to have a mission for we don't we no longer have that mission and so this is why I ask that you get behind
my campaign because I can tell you now my C my opponent Pete olssen is not
going to do it and I will get in there and fight for your interest and actually have the guts to stand up and tell the
truth and so I ask that you go and tell your friends my website address is kesa for congress.com I do apologize I may
have to leave and go to another event so please send me your announcements thank you very
much
okay our next speaker will be candidate for governor Andy is it
Baron that's okay is that close enough close come
on actually this morning I was on the radio in Victoria and it's Bon but in West Texas it's
Baron nice to meet you I really appreciate you having me here this evening uh had an opportunity to travel
all over the state meet people and uh we were in the Kingwood tea party recently and I I was thinking Kathy class would
be here today it was a pleasure to meet her she's a very fine person um to give you a little information on why I'm
standing in front of you I'm an orthodontist i' got five kids had no
interest in being a governor of Texas or being in the campaign for governor Texas but on junee the 30th I felt like I
received a vision from the Lord and I felt after that there wasn't really an option this morning I was asking him
what I should talk about when I got here tonight and I had no idea I don't give speeches and I just speak off of what I
believe the Lord's telling me to say and this is what I heard this morning our nation right now is represented by a
fleet of ships Texas is a battleship California an aircraft carrier Arizona a
battleship Kansas Nebraska cargo ships our fleet has been led into a
Minefield by our commander-in-chief intentionally or not that's where we are our governor right
now Rick Perry believes that we can charge he says we have been here before
and we can do it again and I don't know if that's true or not but what I see in front of us right now is a mindfield
that's huge it's a deficit it's border control it's farming issues it's all
kinds of things that should have been dealt with by now and haven't been that's why I'm a candidate for governor
on July the 1st this year I signed up to run Governor Perry saying we should
charge Bill white saying we need to turn left Kathy I believe would tell you we
need to turn right and what I'm saying is we need to do a U-turn and get out of this thing we need to back out we need
to get redirected and we need to look to the leadership that got us where we got to in this country and that's God Amen
and I believe I believe that we can approach
God through his son Jesus Christ now that's my belief I believe that we
should ask that of people that are running for candidacies before they get elected or we're going to have a
president that we don't know what he believes and I believe that if you look
at my slogan it says what President Obama said it says yes we can but I
added two words after that through Christ that's that's Philippians 4:13
now that is how we can get this turned around I don't see any other Solutions I believe that we're in a situation right
now where most people are treating the symptoms and ignoring the disease the
disease is a loss of belief in God it's in our schools we need prayer back in
our schools it's in our government and our government is doing a lot to change that
right now but we've got to get it back in our schools it's the foundation of Education if we're going to see our kids
do well in school they' got to have something to believe in that's the most critical issue spoken prayer in school
is what needs to happen a moment of silent meditation isn't cutting it that's right um other issues that I
believe are going to need to be dealt with and this is one that I hope we'll see happen and that's we need to limit
how long people are in political office extremely debated issue but I
believe two terms is enough and after someone serve two terms if they need to they can run again after they set out a
term nothing wrong with that I'm at the yellow light I wasn't planning on how long I would speak I just uh want to
thank you for letting me be here and uh if you could I'd just like to close you in just a moment of prayer Lord we ask
in Jesus name for all these candidates to be blessed and that their their petition and their favor would be given
on them but in the name of Jesus Christ Lord we ask in his name amen
amen red light hit and I'm supposed to jump up and tell them to sit down I'm supposed to mute it
folks I'm not going to do that man praying I'm
sorry candidate for Attorney General John
Roland thank you for having me this is typical of an event that is
occurring this year that is unlike anything I've seen in my 50-year experience as involved in politics
when this country was founded a person could stand for office and he didn't have to spend a
dime to get elected all he had to do was give speeches the newspapers would take
them down to verbatim and people would buy the newspapers we have to ask what happened
in the interim why is it necessary now to raise it looks like we're going to be
looking at $3 trillion in this coming election I'm
sorry three billion okay my name is John Roland I am the
libertarian nominee for Texas Attorney
General I am by background in training a mathematician and computer
scientist I have spent a good deal of my time also
becoming a qualified legal historian and the founder found and president of an
organization called the Constitution Society the website at constitution.org
my candidate website is j n r o n
d.org by going to those two websites you can get a great deal of information
about not just my candidacy but about my work in this
field I tried to make constitution.org the ultimate reference site on the
Constitution now there are several issues that are of
special concern to me and why I'm running for attorney general the office
of Attorney General is uniquely positioned to be able to deal with local
public corruption and local public corruption is the incubator for corruption at the
state of national levels we need to nip it in the bud at
the local level and yet too all too often voters are so focused on the
national level the top of the ticket that they ignore the fact that at the
local level many offices may even be unopposed and they also fail to
recognize that in most jurisdictions the grand juries are under the control of
local prosecutors and a citizen cannot just
take a complaint to the grand jury and expect we be able to have action taken
on that complaint as attorney general one of the things I would be doing is
systematically opening up the grand juries of the entire state to Citizen
complaints and if there was something on which action was needed by the local da
and and he didn't take it to get appointed special prosecutors to follow
through on it another thing that I have proposed
it's not currently within the duties of the Attorney General is to establish a Statewide
grand jury called a federal action review commission or it could
have another name that's up in the air but what he would do is have the sole
jurisdiction of hearing complaints about Federal usurpations and if it found that such a
usurpation had occurred that finding would trigger
Statewide resistance by All State officials and contractors and Vice public
citizens next candidate is judge massingale judge massingale you go in
order you should do you should do uh the reface well I'm okay with him going next
judge massel come on up sir we're going to take care of
you thank you very much my name is Michael massingale I am a judge on the first court of appeals uh I'm not on
your list and in fact my office is not even uh on this two or three page list
of offic that will be on your ballot so let me take a second and tell you about the court of appeals and what is involved with my job um we are the
intermediate State appeals court between your trial courts and you'll you'll be hearing from some trial court judges and
candidates in a bit and the highest courts in the state which are the Texas Supreme Court for Civil Appeals and the
Texas Court of Criminal Appeals for Criminal Appeals my court is in the middle we're the first level of appeals
um for every kind of case in the state court system except for the death penalty those go straight to Austin and
um my court has nine judges on it there are three seats up for election um my
spot is Place eight on the first court of appeals and I was appointed to my
position on the court in the summer of 2009 I've been serving on the court uh for a year and about three months let me
tell you a little bit about my background uh why I'm qualified for the position why I'm asking for your support
um I am uh a fifth generation Texan grew up in an Air Force family lived uh my whole
childhood on Air Force basis I'm an eagle scout I'm a Christian and I'm a
lawyer uh I went to the University of Texas School of Law and my first job out of law school was working for the
federal appeals court in Houston I did that for two years doing legal research and helping to draft opinions for a
federal judge and then I worked for a large firm in downtown Houston called bakerbots uh I was at that firm for 10
years I I'm a partner at the firm and my practice area was primarily complex
business litigation I tried cases on behalf of plaintiffs and defendants all across the country I handled some small
matters too in fact I I tried a a carreck case in Angleton when I was a young lawyer but most of my cases
involved big uh disputes between large companies uh in business
disputes uh on the side as I was practicing B robots I I was the head of
a conservative lawyers group in Houston known as the federal Society I was the president of that group for 5 years and
one of the primary purposes of that organization is to promote the proper
understanding of the role of the courts in society and what that is is that it's the role of the courts to say what the
law is and simply apply the law and not abuse the opportunity uh and have judges
saying what they think the law ought to be now I was very very involved in
promoting that idea as a lawyer and when the opportunity to seek appointment to the court of appeals came up a little
over a year ago I was very uh uh glad to have been appointed by Governor Perry
and I promised Governor Perry that I would bring that philosophy with me to the court of appeals so when I'm asked
what are your qualif or why should you be elected to the court of appeals I have three reasons first my
qualifications as I explained to you if you compare them to my opponent I believe I'm clearly the most qualified
candidate for my position second ly is my work ethic I had to work very hard in private practice become partner at a big
international law firm and I'm a relatively young man for the position that I have I didn't come to the court
seeking a time off or retirement kind of position uh I promised the governor that
I would bring the same work ethic I had in private practice to the court and I've done that and I'll continue to work
hard third is my Judicial philosophy and I believe that's very important I'll apply the law as our legislature writes
it and I will always interpret the con Constitution as it was originally understood by our founding fathers my
name is Michael mingel I would appreciate your support in your vote thank
you than candidate for state representative
district 29 I like those boots Randy
Weber than my name is Randy W if you live in the top half of bori County or mord County I

business owner on Weber Z he for 29 years I started it from scratch I know what work ethic is Michael uh I'm with
you there uh I am so I'm I'm an extreme conservative in fact I got the number one conservative rating in the House of
Representatives by voting your values and I got to well thank
you conservative Coalition had their dinners into the session and announced me as the number one conservative in the
81st legislature they called me up they said Randy you're a freshman rep you've been there here two one session how do
you explain this I said it's real simple I come from an extreme ly conservative district and I just voted those values
Right Down the Line I'm on the environmental R committee I'm on the public education committee brend teacher
school and as I said I'm a small business owner how many of y'all follow me on Facebook don't get to follow me on
Facebook our federal government is out of control we've got to get them off our
backs I'm here to tell you that I've got the business experience I've got the stamina I've got the energy thank you
Lord and and I a Christian by the way way let me get that out of the way I'm not real politically correct unlike our
president I do know what I who I believe
in latest figures out this morning we had an Appropriations meeting in Austin I wasn't there I was at the baring
chamber lunch but the Appropriations chair thinks the Texas legislature will be faced with a 21 billion with a B
dollar budget shortfall this coming session now we've got $8.6 billion a
rainy day fund I can make those hard cuts no more taxes no more fees it's
called cut government spending are yall with me you need somebody with a proven track
record that has a business when times get tough you got to tighten your belt and you got to do what's best by
tightening your belt for the business you don't get to just write your own your own check so to speak and Texas has
a balanced Amendment a balanced budget amendment in the Constitution so we don't have the luxury if you want to
call it that I call it stupidity that the federal government does uh Texas one
six states that doesn't have a deficit as I said $8.6 billion Surplus we go around and we talk to other legislators
as we learn how to do infrastructure education financing highways and budget control and those kinds of things and
other states say that they Envy Texas the conservative legislature that we have because we get it we know that it's
not our money it's your money and when I when we tell people give yourselves a hand y'all y'all got a great
conservative legisl when I tell people that we have an $8.6 billion Surplus other
legislators go how'd y'all do that and I said well it's real simple we didn't spend all the money now
that's a novel concept isn't it that's a real novel concept I will go back to
Austin to Fight For You Austin is 64 square miles of insanity surrounded by
the state of Texas and I'm just glad to be back in the district District here because it some of the things that come
out of the the uh the left there just will blow your mind again I want your vote I'm on the ballot November the 2nd
coming up Randy Weber your state representative thank you very
much candidate for state representative district 29 Jim
foreman not of microphones cuz I don't practice my speeches with one so I don't intend to give one I hope that's okay
can everybody hear can you guys hear me in the back fantastic thank you very much uh ladies and gentlemen my name is Jim foreman and uh I have the distinct
honor of being the libertarian candidate for state representative uh for District 29 which basically is as Mr rber kindly
put it is the top half of bizor County and also matag gorta County uh now I'm a graduate of Texas A&M University my
degree is in mechanical engineering the past two years I've been running my own business uh and that business has
succeeded in this recession because of two basic principles keeping a tight budget and keeping a low overhead and as
you heard that's an important thing now before I get down to business I I really want to actually I want to
sincerely thank all of you because being a third party candidate I have a very
very very small amount of money in my campaign fund and uh well I'm the young whipper snapper up here so let's say I'm
pretty much the underdog here am I right but you guys have invited me out here to open a dialogue and that means that
you're willing to give me a chance and for that I sincerely want to thank all of you so thank you very much now let's
talk about that $21 billion budget deficit folks that is not a number you want to sneeze at that is more than 20%
of our budget that's enough money to fund NASA for a year if NASA had that kind of
money we'd still have constellation well I'm very concerned about it half my family is employed by NASA I'm very concerned about that so
some people are telling us that hey we're just going to raise taxes you know we'll make up the difference Americans
right now are having problems making ends meet and they're telling us that hey you didn't give us a am of money
this year so we're going to take that money anyway I didn't like it when they did it with the big three the auto companies you think you'd like it when
Texas did it no other people are saying that okay well we'll just you know blanket budget
cut 20% cut the whole budget by 20% there is you're going to cut budget for
things like Law Enforcement Education how many folks in this room right now are paying tuition for somebody to go to
a college or a university I know there's got to be some of you all right if we take away 20% of State funding to that
institution who do you think is going to pick up the tab we are yeah so that's
not really sounding like a good idea either well folks I'm here to offer you a third option and this is the reason that I'm running today that third option
is complete budget overhaul I've looked at the budget it is over 900 pages long
it is not small but I'm willing to make a promise to you and I don't make promises that I can't keep I'm willing
to promise you that I will if elected sift through all 900 plus pages of that
bill of that budget with my red pen maybe a couple of red pens and I will
reduce consolidate or eradicate wasteful spending our budget has increased by
nearly 100% over the past 10 years while our population has only grown by 25% that means that our budget is growing
four times as fast as our population and that's ridiculous so suffices to say
there's some wasteful spending in there and I will find it for you folks there are two kinds of people in politics
there are show horses and there are workhorses show horse will tell you what you want to hear but won't get things
done and I know you're all thinking of somebody and I'm not going to name names he's at the
top and then there are are workhorses and folks one of the benefits of being the young candidate out here is that I
have a lot of energy and I am eager to use it I'm a Workhorse if you don't believe me ask my wife over there she'll
set you straight now folks I know that I've
spent all of my time talking about the budget I don't want you to think that I'm just a single-issue platform kind of guy I would love to talk to you about
voter fraud education gun rights unemployment My Religion proud Methodist
I've been a member of friends with United Methodist Church for 12 years very involved but uh unfortunately I
just don't have the time so if you would like to hear more about my platform check out my website pck j.org
Jim Foreman candidate state representative district 29 now candidate for district judge 149 Judicial District
Terry Tipton
holder I'm going to bring it back down home a little bit for you guys I can't talk to you about Federal issues and I
won't talk to you about about state issues because what I want to talk to you about are bori County issues I want
to talk to you about some of our children who have to walk into a courtroom because they've been sexually abused and face the predator and testify
about what happened to them I want to talk to you about families who've lost loved ones and explosions in the plants
and seek Justice in our district courts and I want to talk to you a little bit about parents who lost their only son in
a tragic murder those are the kind of cases that walk into the district courts of roria County those those are the kind
of cases that I've tried over the last 28 years as I practice law here in this County and those are the kind of cases
I'm asking you to allow me to preside over as judge of the 149th District Court I believe um that a judge to be
good and to be um Fair has to be at least four four key things what I would
look for in a good judge first of all obviously and that's experience as I told you I practiced law here for 28
years 12 of those in private practice but for 18 I gota go back to County keeps
changing as time goes by I've been a prosecutor here in county for 16 years part of that time I was allowed to uh
work for a special prosecution unit where I traveled to State and prosecuted the crimes that occurred on TDC units
that allowed me the opportunity to try cases in other counties in front of other district courts which was um a
wonderful experience but in that time as I practiced I I also in those 12 years
of Private Practice did civil cases so I have handled cases on both sides of
the docket that would be heard in this particular court several years ago I went back to school hoping that it would
make me a better prosecutor I attended Alvin Community College and became a licensed peace officer I wanted to
understand what our guys and our girls on the streets went through so that when a defense attorney said to me they didn't do it right I can turn around and
understand their training and their reactions and have a great response to that uh still carry my commission today
in and the second thing I would look for in a good judge that I expect is respect in the courtroom not only for our laws
but to respect and understand that we don't make those laws we only apply them to the facts that come in front of us
that's what a judge does we don't decide what an outcome should be we apply the law and we don't decide that we're going
to make the law up we apply the law as it's written the other thing I think a
good judge does is respect the people who walk through the doors with a those be the attorneys the litigants the
witnesses or the jurors I believe all people should be treated with respect and a judge it should be no different
the the other thing that I think you look for in a good judge is a work ethic and I believe that my practice can ex
has exhibited that as well as my history I put myself through law school sometimes working two jobs while I was
going to class I met my husband the first year married in the second we had a child the third not the way I would
suggest you do it but I tell you that so that you understand understand I still graduated on time with advocacy and
Scholastic Honors that takes a work ethic and it's that same work ethic that's allowed me to practice law these
years and raised raised through children of course with my husband not by myself and um still be involved in my community
and in my professional life and lastly I believe that a good it almost goes without saying that a good judge should
have integrity um my priorities in my life are my faith and my family we've
been a 28 year member MERS of the Second Baptist Church in Angleton we've raised three children and been married almost 30 years that tells you where my
priorities are and who I am accountable to other than the voters of our County I
would ask for your support my name is Terry holder if you feel my experience and my values meet those of the people
here in Bor County and you feel like I could serve you in that position then I ask for your vote for the 149th District
Court here in Bor

nature but as I sit and listen to the problems that people have as they come before us because judge Warren and Dora
and judge Rickard going tell you what all we do and we do everything in the world it's kind of like the Johnny Cash song I've Been Everywhere man we do
everything man in in in our course a lot of it's criminal stuff the de's family

greatest Generation bought a bter gunner on beef s I'll never forget his experience that he
shared they don't talk about it lot they're dying out but I do

County uh it has been my honor to serve you as the first judge in the county court at law number four um it's also
been a very humbling experience for me and um several folks have talked about
that but when you have folks that come into court that not always are at their best they're struggling or suffering
with one uh different problem or another in the in the county court we hear just about all kind of
cases my name is Lori Ricker um and we hear all kind of cases

Jeremy Warren hello good evening I am Jeremy
Warren I am currently the judge of County court at law number three so I work with judge holder and judge every
day uh we have another County court at law judge judge Jerry Mills County court at law number one um there are four of
us here in boria County I had the privilege of serving as your judge of County court of law number three for the
last two years I was appointed back in 2008 by Judge Joe King and the County
Commissioners to fill a vacancy what I've done over the last two years um I
believe has moved cases through the docket quicker I've spent about 25 more time 25 % more time on cases um than my
predecessor by adding more days in the monthly calendar that I to dockets that
I can hear cases one of the uh problems that or one
of the main issues that I see uh on a routine basis in County court at law number three is dealing with the
juveniles U we here as judge holder said uh just about everything Juvenile and
adult criminal misdemeanor cases take up about 90% of our time with the
juveniles not only do I believe like judge massingale you follow the law as a legislature says but I believe we have
an extra Duty as a judge uh to make sure that those kids make the right decisions in their life and what I've done is
Implement an accountability and review docet every 3 months the kids come back to see me in court whether they're in
trouble or not and I reward them for making good choices they've made bad choices ches when they're on probation
then I'll lock them up and put them in detention but I believe that my role as the judge is also to make sure that they
are becoming productive citizens my wife Stephanie and I have been in boria
county for over 10 years now she's a school teacher um all of my family
members are School teachers my first job as a lawyer was at the DA's office here in boria County where I worked for 6
years I worked there until 2008 when I was appointed as the judge I prosecuted
all sorts of cases from your traffic tickets all the way up to murder that experience allowed me a prosecuted over
100 jury trials in just the short six years that I practiced at the DA's office I wrote several appeals to the
court of appeals where judge massingale sits that experience with the appeals and the trials allowed me to become
board certified I'm the only candidate in this race the only current judge that
is board certified in criminal law that's important because as I mentioned before about 90% of our time is spent on
criminal and juvenile cases that are criminal law areas we also hear family
cases as judge holder said civil cases up to $100,000 we are a probate court we
which means we hear people the states their guardianship cases and then
imminent domain or condemnation so just a little bit about everything I am your
Republican candidate for County court at law number three there's not a lot that
I can do about Washington or Austin except one thing and that is to vote on
November 2nd and in early voting I am a true conservative that's the principles
that I have I was asked earlier this morning what or earlier this evening about what I believe about what the
Constitution says I believe it says what it means it means what it says they
wrote it that's what they meant we as judges like judge Mill said are supposed to follow the law as written not make
our own so when you go in to vote next week early voting and November 2nd
remember who you're voting for and vote for judge Jeremy Warren County court of law number three thank
you jery Warren candidate County court of law number three now candidate County
court of law number three in Probate Court Dora
boner good afternoon good afternoon I'm in this room by myself good afternoon my name is
D B and I am a candidate for judge County court at law number three uh I
want to tell you a little bit about myself I am a resident of bizor County I
have lived in bizor County all my life I grew up in swiy Texas little little town
little north of here uh I've been living in clue for the last 30 years uh I am
married my husband is Wilbert Bonner he is the councilman for the city of clue for the last 25 years we have two young
men uh that are off on their own thank God uh doing a wonderful job no longer
having to support them and I am the only candidate for judge of County court and
law number three that's ever practiced as a private attorney I am the candidate that knows
what the client goes through when they get ready to go to court and have to face to judge I've been
there I've been practicing in Clute for the last 20 years I have gone into
courts on Family Matters I know what they're going through I know what the judge is talking about how things seem
to have just really slipped away and where the family is going and what our
our society doing about it matter of fact it's just kind of Precedence I had that same conversation today with
somebody in the district clerk's office asking them where are we going at one point they come in they love each other
they can't do without each other and they just can't live without them and then they come to court and they want to
air their dirty laundry where are we going but I've been there I know what's going through I know
the types of cases I know the types of evidence that needs to be put before the judge in order to make that decision I
know the family law Co Family Code because I practice in it every every day
I know the probate code because I've been there with the clients as they go before at a difficult time in their life
when they've lost somebody close to them I know how they feel I know what they're going through I know what the code says
needs to happen the probate code I've been there I know what the civil procedure is I've practiced I've gone to
court with plaintiffs and in the respondents also knowing what the law
says and how to present the evidence when you you go before the judge you want the judge to be able to understand
what you're talking about when you're putting on your evidence if you've never had the opportunity to put on the
evidence before the court you can sit there and talk to the judge so you blew in the face and they won't understand
what you're talking about it takes some experience and I believe that's what I bring to this court is the experience of
having been in the trit and knowing what to do when it needs to be done our law
is not perfect but as a judge our law our responsibility is to read the law
understand the law listen to the facts and then apply the law to the facts and
to render a just decision and I can tell you right now if you have no background
in family law when somebody's up there talking about what's going on you're not
going to understand what the code says as to what you need to do when you when you're talking about the law you need to
have some experience you can't get it all on the bench and W that was a quick four minutes my name my name is Dora

people unlike the other courts we've have here a common sense Court uh
created to be a less formal setting place where you and I can go and represent ourselves and for most of us

willing to listen to your side of the story without a a preconceived notion of you or or the
case uh I believe that good things bad things happen to good people and someone

Susan you did a wonderful job of reminding them if you have a question please raise your hand we'll get a card
to you you can fill out your question and just pick up the question we'll raise it back up so we can see it and
we'll pick it up all right a c a question for all the opposed
candidates so if you're opposed what's your opinion of the tea
party please sir you're opposed just stand right where you at I think it's
one of the most unique things I've seen in American politics it's uh I think the longevity of the tea party will be tied
to if it stays bipartisan or not and uh I think that uh we've seen movements
start up in the past like John Anderson in the 1970s and but they always started
in Ross perau in the 90s and we they've come and gone and Longevity should be
the key if you want to keep your organization together and I think the way to do that is to remain bipartisan
and to use yourselves in an influential way on both parties thank you Ken Walters
Richard Davis what is your opinion of the tea party I think it's very exciting to see a movement in today's environment
in our country the things have just gone to heck in a hand basket to quote a old
guy but I think it's wonderful that the te party is rising they waken people up
and it doesn't matter if you're democrat or republican we're in this country you know our constitutions by our forefathers and we need to follow that
and I think it's been wonderful that tea party movement has brother to our attention Thank you Rich
Davis Larry Stanley what is your opinion of the Tea Party well I think it's a
great thing for America it's a great thing for bori County and for Texas I applaud each one of you for doing this
for being here being a part of this and being interested enough to come tonight I was at a forum this week and the
person there said I have nothing to do with Washington I have nothing to do with Austin I can't do anything about
that you can't can do something about Washington you can do something about Austin and you people are doing you're a
member of the tea party organization you're a member of a group of people that are interested enough to stand up and say I don't like what's going on and
I'd like to change something to make it better for all of us so I applaud each one of you and I'm very proud of each
one of you for coming out of the house tonight and when you go vote I saw that I only had two voters from precin for I
know I got half of those because my wife hope I
hope thank you thank you when you go vote don't go alone take your neighbors
take your children take your friends take people you don't know just load them up and haul them down there and
make them vote and have a voice on our future for
America what is your opinion of the Tea Party If my people will call by my name
that humor themselves and turn from their Wicked Ways then will I hear from
heaven and heal their land that's my understanding is what the Tea Party is all about bringing God back into the
authority that he already is to help people to understand that God has a plan
for America and when we listen to his plan then America will go forward the
tea party as I understand it is bipartisan and and so when we can all
call God as to who he is it doesn't matter whether you're Democratic or
whether you're Republican it matters what you believe and who you believe is
in control thank
you candidate Jeremy Warren you know the question yes go
right ahead I think the Tea Party is very interesting I believe that in order
to get people to think and to think about who they're voting for we need movements like this in our country
because you're making Republicans think you're making Democrats think and
whether or not they come to the middle and agree or or if they go to the other side away from you I would urge you not
to go one side or the other don't go extreme one side don't go extreme the other but keep people thinking about
what's going on in our country to get it back to where our Founders had it
thank you uh Carrie I'm excited about it um for too
long too many people who are just middle class folks sitting in their living room thinking it shouldn't be that way it shouldn't be that way finally there's a
surge of people to stand up and say listen to us we are the citizens of this country it was we were founded as a
Christian Nation we were founded in our Constitution that should be applied and not Rewritten because it means what it
says and and the you guys and the folks who are going to Washington are standing up and saying listen to us it's time we had
a voice and you're providing that you're doing that and I'm very excited about it and I thank you for
it you for uh I quite honestly I think it's phenomenal um I think I'm in this race
where the same reason that the tea party was created we're sick and tired of the status quo and I think that it's
actually become a very uh viral problem that people believe that one person can't make a difference but all of you
being here tonight you you've proved them wrong so again thank you very
much te party you
rock I've been in it from the get-go couldn't be here April the 15th when there was a tax day rally at the post
office because we were in session when I got to the July third one wasn't it and I have never backed up I've
supported it with time talents and money and I would encourage you to get involved and you do the same in case I
haven't mentioned it tea party you
rock you yes sir please what is your what is your opinion to the te
party I think it's an incredible uh reflection of the American Spirit it's a
truly American movement uh there's a profound dissatisfaction with a government in the direction of our
country if it were just about dissatisfaction with Democrats in Washington then then everybody in the
Tea Party would just embrace the Republican party and that's not what's happening people were just dissatisfied with Republicans and state government
they'd go vote Democrat or they'd embrace the Democrat Party and that's not what's happening this is a group of
people who are saying they want to be heard they don't want to be heard through the filter of Party politics or uh what has not been working in the past
so I salute you for that and I've been to a number of of tea party type events and one thing I find very um uh
refreshing and promising about the movement is that there's always a stack of constitutions to be had and I carry
mine around what that says to me is we all still share these common principles
we all still hold them dear and we all still want to see our government adhere to these founding principles and I think
with people like this we're going to do it thank
Mr John ran the T Party Movement is wonderful
when I started the Constitution Society in 1994 I was a voice in the
wilderness I was considered an oddball as a constitutionalist now I have all these
wonderful people standing up and demanding strict compliance with the con
institution as originally understood that's fantastic
however demanding that is only the first step because if you go to court and win
a case if you don't write the order for the judge to sign it's he's liable to
turn to your opponent and take the version that your opponent wrote you now need to go on to the next
step which is to understand the problems well enough to either develop Solutions
in detail or recognize solutions that are developed by others that's your mission
now thank you sir we have two question one question
for Two Gentlemen Jim Foreman Randy
Weber do you favor photo voter ID and
why Jim do you'll take it first um as most of you know voter fraud
was a big issue in the last legislative session and it's still a huge issue and I I think we've only touched the tip of
the iceberg voter fraud is a problem I guarantee it of driver's license can be
ordered on the internet and can be in your house in less than a week but even worse is that we are now resorting to electronic ballot
systems now I know every single one of you knows there's a kid on your block he's probably 15 16-year-old he has a
knack for computers correct that kid could probably print five maybe six driver's license and get five or six
votes or he can hack one of those computers and he can steal hundreds maybe thousands of votes so we need to
look at the voter fraud issue for sure absolutely
thank you bet I've been an election judge and election clerk for 20 something years had to had to resign
that to run for your State Rep in the House of Representatives last time the the Democrats chub you'd think about as
filibustering they killed the voter ID Bill the last 4 days of the calendars I
was I was very very proud of our Republican caucus they came to us and they said we'll stop filibuster we were
ready to stay there night and day if you'll take voter ID off the table and I stood up in that caucus as a freshman I
said I know I'm new but no way not on our watch if we let them hold us hostage one time they'll do this again we need
voter ID and we need it now and I'm here to tell you we think we're going to get it through this session so keep the pressure
up Mr Rand if elect give it what would you do to keep attorneys pushing for
imprisonment of those who refuse to pay child
support the attorney general has been given the job of enforcing child
support unfortunately that too often means spending more
money to enforce it than could be than
it that it brings in the use of these kinds of punitive
measures do not work very well and we have to face the fact
I'm in favor of moving Child Support Enforcement down to
the county level the Attorney General's office can
provide a computer system and can help in finding people but ultimately the
enforcement needs to be done at the local level right now we have the Attorney
General his office that is is spending more money
than he's bringing in and that is not the way to run a government thank you
sir count Judge Joe King there are several game rooms in
Alvin where they have slot machines how can this be
legal it's not
the legislature needs to tighten the game
room rules and laws game rooms can operate as long as
they give novelty prizes when I was Sheriff we raided them
all the time your present Sheriff who was my chief Deputy for 19 years is
still raiding them we need need to be able to seize the machines again instead
of just the electronics out of it sees their buildings the only thing we can
get right now is the mo what they call the motherboard when I was sherff we we
took the whole machine and sold them on
eBay in other states in other
so we need to be able to not only seize their cash their motherboard but the
building and every asset that's attached to
it what is this new little car that the sheriff's department confiscated tell us
about that please I've just seen it yes I have I've seen a
picture but it I guess if you go to the parade Saturday morning you'll get to
see it I seen it out in the shop this afternoon and it's a golf cart that
looks like a pickup truck and is painted white and has green stripes and a star
on the side and says seized from your local drug
dealer the legislature has made that possible where we can seize and Drug
transactions lots of things and in that we even took his saddle with his silver
ornaments on it thank
you okay for Dora boner and Jeremy War name one thing that sets yourself
apart from your opponent I am still undecided Mrs boner
you want to take the first one thank you I believe the one thing that sets us apart is the experience
practical experience in the trenches being an attorney having
clients understanding what it means to go before the judge I believe that's what sets us a part we're both college
educated we're both graduates of law school also the fact that I've got a
little bit more uh experience just life experience experienced a lot of more
things just from just living but I think the number one thing is the fact that I
understand what it means to go into court with a client and be able to
present evidence thank
you War I could stick my name on yes I agree
it's experience but it's the experience of being the judge knowing the cases
that come through there knowing the type of evidence to let in in the trial knowing how to be a judge in a trial in
court it's that experience that sets me apart from Miss boner so I'm asking to
remain your
judge for both our state representative candidates here's the question will you
make a resolution at the state level calling for removal of President Obama from
Office using the 25th Amendment not fit for the office
mentally I just read what I have ladies and gentl well I made a point earlier and
I'll make it again I'm here to work for you if this is what you want I'd be happy to do it
you I I think that would pass in this in this room right
now how many of y'all remember who Will Rogers was have you all seen the bumper sticker
said Will Rogers never met Barack Hussein Obama yeah sure you bet it that's what
we want we've been fighting the EPA on the environmental regulations committee I'm tired of the federal over and he is
the chief suspect the complainer in Chief he needs to go you
bet already got
it blank did that one that was for judge
king okay uh Representatives we still have one more question for
y'all uh R Randy Weber will you sign a pledge to end the property tax in
Texas the Texas conservative Coalition the ones that gave me the most conservative rating we're looking at the
numbers we're actually running the numbers it's time for the school district's funding the school education
system not to be on the back of the property owners we
need we need to spread that out so we're doing those numbers we're crunching
those numbers it's time for the illegals to pay their fair
share so in a nutshell yes Jim Foreman different question on
your blog site it says you favor legislation for drugs is this
true I knew that libertarian bit was going to bite me sooner or later folks I have no intention of
passing any regulation as far as legalizing drugs I know you're probably
familiar with proposition 19 in California where they're trying to legalize it as far as uh medicinal use
folks I have no intention of of presenting that sort of legislation because of one reason and one reason
only you cannot test in the field for drug sobriety you can test for
alcohol content we have breathalyzers we have that ability but we don't have the ability until the technology is there
it's off the table so I want to be clear about that I support the libertarian
party and I and I appreciate their opinion we're all entitled to an opinion
and again I would consider it I'll look at it but until you can prove to me that there are not going to be people who are
smoking marijuana and then driving on our streets risking the lives of our children absolutely
not one more question for both you and Randy do you favor prayer in public
schools the thing that I think is shameful about uh taking religion out of schools is that they're taking it all
out of schools I support hey if you're Buddhist if you're Jewish if you're Catholic if
you're Methodist if you're Baptist you have each and every one of you has a right to pray in school and you should
not be punished if you're going to pray out loud that's your right our founding fathers founded this
country on three inalienable rights that's a hard word to say we have the right to life we have the right to
Liberty we have the right to Pursuit of Happiness the most important one there is Pursuit of Happiness My Religion
makes me happy and I have every right to practice it where and when I please the same goes for our
schools as long as there are tests in school there will be
prayer yes I do the Ten Commandments are good enough for the Supreme Court they're
good enough for us all right you bet you bet you when I went to school we
started every day with the prayer and the Pledge of Allegiance what's wrong with us you bet our favorite when I was
on city council I wanted I wanted to fight that fight on parine city council and I couldn't get two other council
members to con convinced to we should ought to have that in our city hall The Ten Commandments we I'm glad General
Abbott fought the lawsuit to keep the Bible on the grounds and we ought to have it back in our
schools stand back up please sir how will you get property taxes off
homeowners how will you get property taxes off home
owners that is going to be a battle that we we will fight in the legislature it
will be a hard battle make no mistake you want somebody with political will
with stamina with courage with a track record uh we're going to have to crunch
the numbers we're going to have to say enough is enough our taxes can't keep Rising we will look at the budget we
will probably go with a consumption tax read my lips no new fees no new taxes in
this session we cut the budget and we're not going to add to it we can't add fees to it so I'm not in favor of adding fees
judge it's got to be done by cutting property taxes probably a consumption
tax we'll grunch the numbers and that'll be the battle we will fight
thank okay any other questions that I may have missed I have one other thing right here that I going to take care of
Susan nope okay first off I've been doing or going to
meet your candidate nights for now 20 you got a
question both state representatives what do you propose to do something about
illegal immigration I can't do this in one
minute I just tell you I can't do this in one minute uh first of all Joe Aro
Maricopa County
Arizona we need a fence on the border we need a compound so that on the south
side of the river they look in there and they say I'm going to wind up in a pink tent over there with pink clothes it's a
cheap it's it's a cheap way to seal our border it's a cheap housing alternative when we stop these actors on the highway
I don't care whether you're County whether you're DPS whether your ins whever you are ask if you're stopping
them for reason check their documentation we can do thumb prints in vehicles they'll give you an A-list but
we can ID that person we'll ratchet up crimes if they rob a 7-Eleven and they're here illegally the level of that
crime just went up it's aggravated robbery I've got about nine steps Ive
actually saved them on my BlackBerry I can't do this in a minute but we can do stuff to stem the tide quit the free
giveaways there's my red
line please sir yes sir I love all these hard questions it's exciting U as Mr
Weber said we can't cover that in a minute but and I really just want to add to what he said and that is we got to
talk to the employers you know what's going on we all know it hey I'm all for
people come to this country legally gaining citizenship and working hard strong work e or work ethic is hard to
find these days but if they're doing it illegally not only should they pay but those employers who are taking advantage
of the lower wage they're paying those employees they need to pay as
