Boot Perry

Dear Members and Friends:

If you haven’t voted yet, tomorrow’s the big day.  Polls are open from 7 am to 7 pm.  If you don’t know where your poll is, call your County Clerk’s office or just google it at “polling place” (with your county).

If you haven’t yet decided who your candidate for Governor is, here’s why Independent Texans members endorsed Debra Medina in the Republican primary.*

Here’s one of the best reasons to Boot Perry, not that you need convincing.  Rick Perry is paying ordinary folks to get on the internet and use social networking tools (like Facebook and Twitter) to reach people in their networks to pull a fast one — again — on unsuspecting Texas voters.  Maybe these are the jobs Rick keeps touting that he’s “created.”

Fight fire with fire, y’all!

Get on Facebook, get on Twitter, or just get on the phone and spread the word about Perry by sending folks here BootPerry.org for the real dish.  I’m calling people today and tonight.  (Call me or hit reply if you want to help today or this evening.)

Also, if you live in Texas House Rep. Todd Smith’s district (Euless, Hurst and Bedford), please consider keeping this incumbent & read our post here as to why.

Independents are united on just a few things.  None of us are real fond of dirty tricks nor lies.  That’s why Rick and his fat-cat backer, homebuilder Bob Perry, need to feel the boot tomorrow.

We will never forget Rick Perry’s Trans-Texas Corridor!

Independently yours,

Linda Curtis, Independent Texans, 512-535-0989 office

*Remember, Texas has open primaries, which means you do not have to pre-register with a party to vote in their primary.  If you lean Democratic, it appears that the gubernatorial nomination is not competitive (Bill White is a strong favorite), therefore, why not vote in the Republican primary this year?  But do keep in mind that if you are with a “third-party” (Libertarian, Green, Constitution, etc.), you cannot sign their petition nor participate in a third-party convention and vote in either party primary.

*  There are contested Democratic judicial races in the Austin/Travis County area.  If you want to know who I am personally supporting just reply and ask.

Apparently, some 18,721 Texans (16.7%) who voted in the Republican primary during early voting this last 10 days voted in the 2008 Democratic primary.

Least we be filled with all kinds of nonsense from pundits about what this really means, here’s an independent view.  At least 18,721 Texans get it…Texas has an open primary system.  Moreover, just because these 18,721 Texans voted in the Democratic primary in 2008 doesn’t mean they were Democrats nor are they now Republicans.  These clever Texans shop the ballot — they’re independents!  And, they’re out to Boot Perry!

ALSO State Rep. Todd Smith (R-Euless), chair of the House Elections Committee has apparently invoked the ire of the Perry-Perry machinery.  (That’s Rick Perry and homebuilder Bob Perry who ARE related — they’re both crooks, as well as David Weekley and others in the real estate/homebuilder/toll road lobby.)  Smith’s opponent, a guy named Cason, has been running around the district talking dirty trash about Smith’s supposed stand on sex offenders.

According to Will Lutz of the Lone Star Report the attacks on Smith are happening because Smith had the audacity to question the Texas Residential Construction Commission. Remember how Rick put the TRCC under Bob Perry’s thumb to stop citizen complaints from getting anywhere? (Read about the Perrys’ dirty tricks on Smith here)

Are you sick yet?  We can use your help with phone calls the next three days!  Call us right away at 512-535-0989 if you can help.

Thanks so very much to all of you who have helped with money and time for the get-out-the-vote calls for Debra Medina!

And, of course, get out and vote on Tuesday if you haven’t yet done so and bring your fellow Texans with you.
