Affiliation
The Bryan/College Station Tea Party is an independent organization neither affiliated with nor subordinate to any other individual or organization.
Not unexpectedly, Flores votes YES on the increased spending for 2011 budget year today. Absolutely NO political need to do so, and it violates many “pledges” he made on the campaign trail.
You promised to reduce spending, or at least vote that way. Today you broke that promise. Guess that ‘ole Aggie Code isn’t operative any more in your world. Anyway, congratulations. Your prize in this contest is a real primary challenge for 2012. And it won’t be a say-nothing opponent like last time. How many babies did Planned Parenthood kill today with the Federal dollars you voted for?
So, ready to primary? We can resurrect Rob Curnock’s old volunteer list and yours for a start. Dave McIntyre is pretty adamant about the debt issue and he may want to help out (really not sure about him, though). If we don’t make the three mistakes Rob made we can beat Flores with the facts. Otherwise Flores will keep voting like Chet Edwards to make his new Wash, DC friends happy. What three mistakes you ask?
1. Didn’t keep growing and training his volunteer brigade. We can if we start now.
2. Didn’t discuss issues, just kept repeating “I can win.” We need to start a REAL dialog with the electorate.
3. Didn’t connect with local, small business owners. Again, correctable as #1 above.
I would support Rob again IF he agreed to get serious on the issues AND got committed, smart managers.
I have written extensively on ICLEI at Virginia Right and if any of my articles or videos can help, feel free to quote or cite them.
Let me know if/when College Station leaves ICLEI!
