A Huge Texas Thank You

A huge Texas thank you to all who worked so hard to get the freedom candidate elected as governor of this great state! I cannot tell you how humbled I am to have been able to carry your banner forth. Even though we didn't win this battle, we will not give up fighting for the people and we will remain ever vigilant to hold our elected officials accountable.

What We Texans have accomplished has not only caught the attention of the nation and the world but it has inspired as only truth can inspire. We have not lost hope. We have energized and will strengthen our resolve to fight another day.

While I must concede the loss of this battle, I will not make concessions that reduce this fight to the level of mere sport. Our freedom is being stripped away and I will continue to press our cause. Our message was nothing less than what the original Founders were fighting for...our Life, our Liberty and our property.

To whomever wins the Texas governorship in November, the eyes of Texas will be upon you.

God Bless Texas,

It's time to reassess the entire liberty movement. Post your thoughts. Are we going to do this again and again? For what? How many donated money that should have been spent on their own futures? What value did this campaign add to the future of politics in Texas? In the entire United States?

There's no inarguably correct answer. We can look at the end result and say it was a complete waste. On the other hand, maybe her campaign enlightened more people, waking them up from a life of mundane sheeplism.

Is there anyone here who hasn't been counted among the sheep at some point? I have.

I think this is a question that each person has to answer for himself. For me, I've paid a lot over the years for the cause, both in time and effort, and a little money, but far more than that in missed opportunity, as in missing out on decent paying jobs that could have made life much more comfortable. I'm now putting my own priorities first, justifying it, for good or ill, with the idea that freedom is NOT just "another word for nothing left to lose". I've also convinced myself that (right or wrong) the USA as a whole is beyond saving.

Still, as I mentioned above, there's always potential value in waking others up. Not because it'll save the country but because it'll save those who are awoken. And the more the better.

I'm convinced that this is the best thing to do for the entire group. At this point it's important to preserve good ideas while succeeding and thriving. The future will judge us on what we leave our communities as a legacy, while having held such strong views.
