Howdy Everyone,
I just wanted to encourage everyone to come out and support Tyler Russell, our very own 9/12 candidate. It is great to come out to protests and shout that we want real change, but without new and good candidates to replace the old and corrupted ones then we really haven’t accomplished much. This is where the rubber meets the road. We say we want to bring our nation back to the founding principles and we want to place people in office that hold to these values and will defend our Constitution. If we truly mean what we say, then we need to put action behind our words. Tyler is the first 9/12 candidate for our great state and is right here in our very own district. I feel truly blessed that he is here in our court and has the courage to stand up to defend our liberties. All 9/12ers should come join us if at all possible and rally behind our own 9/12 candidate. Attached is the flier so that you can download it and pass it out or email it to your friends, family, and neighbors. Let’s show Tyler our support.
Sat. Oct. 3 4-7pm
E. Montg. Co. Improvement Dist. Bldg.
Hwy 59 N. New Caney, TX
Thank y’all for all of your dedication and committment to fighting for freedom from tyranny and proclaiming truth.
For the Glorious Cause of Liberty,
Kristi Van Eaton
We the People of Texas

(WASHINGTON, DC) – The 111th Congress could go down in American history as the “House of Hypocrisy” after Democrats today followed months of ignoring potentially criminal tax evasion by U.S. Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner and House Ways and Means Chairman Charlie Rangel (D-NY), while scheduling an immediate vote against Republican Congressman Joe Wilson for an inappropriate verbal outburst during last week’s Joint Session of Congress.
“We are witnessing perhaps the most blatant display of moral and legal hypocrisy in the history of this body,” says House Republican Conference Secretary John R. Carter of Texas. “Speaker Pelosi and President Obama have allowed Democrats at the highest levels of the federal government to violate the tax laws of the United States with impunity, blocked all attempts by this body to hold them accountable, and have made a mockery of our system of justice and the Rule of Law. Yet they find it important to hold a vote against a Republican for two words blurted out during a speech by the President, for which he has already apologized. We are witnessing truly malignant partisanship of historic proportion.” Carter has joined other Members of the House in support of Wilson’s apology being adequate to address any breach in House rules for his comment.
Carter introduced a privileged resolution earlier this year calling for removal of Rangel as Chairman of House Ways and Means, the House committee that oversees the IRS, while Rangel remained under investigation for tax violations, among other ethics charges. The resolution was blocked from consideration or debate on a party line vote by Democrats, in spite of the removal being supported by the editorial boards of the New York Times, Washington Post, and numerous other major daily newspapers historically favorable to Democrats.
Carter also introduced the Rangel Rule legislation that would provide the same waiver of penalties and interest on back taxes for all Americans as that enjoyed by Rangel. That measure has also been blocked by House Democrats.
“It is becoming increasingly apparent that the only way this House will restore the Rule of Law is for the American people to overthrow it,” says Carter. “It is time for a revolution at the polls in November 2010.

The following op-ed by Sen. Cornyn and Benjamin E. Sasse was posted on Forbes, and can also be accessed here.
This summer, the American people have focused intently on how Washington proposes to reform health care. One thing is clear: They aren’t impressed with Congress’ efforts to date.
A new CBS poll shows that average citizens, by a margin of 31 to 18, think they’ll be worse off under the proposed overhaul. Their worries at town halls–about the value the government will place on human life and about the odd claim that spending $1 trillion more will save money–are commonsensical, not un-American questions. The president has an opportunity Wednesday not to double-down on the Congress’ failing strategy, but to demonstrate the kind of change to Washington’s business-as-usual on which he campaigned.
While the media has focused on intermittent shouting, our main take-away from the town halls has been different: An unprecedented number of voters are actually reading the draft legislation. At the overflow events we’ve seen, broad cross-sections of America–patients to providers, students to seniors, small-business owners to corporate executives–are reciting page and line numbers from the 1,000-page bills. In most cases, questioners have shown greater command of the technical substance of these proposals than many who have voted for the legislation.
Working Americans, who have seen billions of their hard-earned dollars squandered on the financial and auto bailouts, no longer believe Washington deserves the benefit of the doubt. After the frantic rush to pass an economic stimulus package less than 24 hours after it was written, only a small fraction of the dollars have been spent in the subsequent seven months. While Washington guaranteed the stimulus bill would keep unemployment below 8%, one in 10 Americans are now struggling to find jobs. Washington promised to cut the deficit in half, yet budget officials project we will actually add more than $9 trillion to the national debt over the next decade.
Asking if Washington’s rhetoric matches the reality of what the bills say is not only the right but the responsibility of an engaged, educated citizenry. Beltway insiders do not seem to realize that average Americans no longer take politicians’ vague promises at face value.
On Main Streets across Texas, the quote of the year belongs to Rep. John Conyers: “What good is reading the bill if it’s a thousand pages and you don’t have two days and two lawyers to find out what it means after you read the bill?” Feeling swindled from the $787 billion stimulus bill, wary constituents are picking up the slack and reading the health care legislation themselves. And they want to make sure their elected representatives know what the fine print actually says.
We agree with the president that inaction on health reform is not an option. But worried Americans are wisely asking if their leaders are sure that their bills will not simply make today’s problems worse. They are wary of giving control over personal matters of life-and-death to distant bureaucracies and to political deal-cutters who often do not even know the details of their own deals.
The president can bank a huge reservoir of public trust Wednesday by engaging the public with direct answers to their commonsense questions, such as:
–We spend nearly double per capita what some other industrialized nations spend on health care; how will another trillion dollars really reduce health care spending?
–How can we cut nearly $500 billion from the Medicare program for seniors when it is now underfunded by three times the national debt and currently projected to be bankrupt by 2017?
–How will a new government-run insurance program “keep insurers honest” when our two current public plans, Medicare and Medicaid, are riddled with unmatched fraud, waste and abuse?
–How do we reconcile the claim that lobbyist influence in Washington is decreasing with the fact that those most closely consulted on these gargantuan bills are special interest groups like the pharmaceutical industry?
–”Minimum benefit packages” that are mandated as a part of every insurance plan sound great, but since there’s no such thing as a free lunch, don’t mandated benefits actually reduce choices and drive up costs for all patients?
–Will employer “pay-or-play” mandates accelerate the job losses we are seeing across the country?
By honestly engaging the centrist questions of the voters Wednesday night–instead of parroting the central planners’ one-size-fits-all talking points–the president could provide the specificity the people are demanding and lead a supermajority of the middle. For example, he has repeatedly said that reform should spread to the entire system the superior quality and cost-effectiveness of integrated delivery systems–like the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota or Scott & White in Texas. We agree. But now he needs to tell us how his solution will help rather than hurt these non-governmental innovators. If he can do this, he may find the kind of broad public support that Congress’ efforts have lacked.
As important: By paying serious heed to the public’s fear–that a Washington that doesn’t read its bills is as likely to break what works as fix what’s broken–Obama can rebuild the trust of the American people in their leaders.
Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, serves on the Finance, Judiciary, Agriculture and Budget committees and is the chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee. Benjamin E. Sasse, former U.S. assistant secretary of health, teaches at the University of Texas and advises health investors.

Humble ISD Board President offers wealth of experience
KINGWOOD – On Monday, State Representative Joe Crabb, after 18 years of distinguished service, announced his plans not to seek reelection to the Texas House of Representatives.
Upon learning of the news, Dan Huberty – Humble ISD’s Board President, announced he would seek the position being vacated by Rep. Crabb. Huberty, a lifelong Republican, will be a candidate in the March 2010 Republican Primary.
“Representative Crabb has been a faithful representative for the people of District 127,” Mr. Huberty remarked. “I want to thank Joe and Nancy for giving so many years of their lives in service to the people of Texas and especially northeast Harris County. I believe my candidacy offers a great opportunity to elect a conservative businessman, with public school finance experience, to the Texas House.
“I am keenly aware the next legislative session will deal with legislative redistricting and another attempt to secure the voting process by requiring photo identification to vote,” Mr. Huberty reflected. “These and other issues require that a strong conservative be elected to follow Rep. Crabb’s history of conservative leadership.
“Since learning of Rep. Crabb’s decision, I have spent time visiting with community and party leaders gauging their level of enthusiasm,” Mr. Huberty reported. “I am humbled and honored to have the encouragement and support of so many of our friends and neighbors. So it is with their backing that I announce that I will seek the Republican nomination for State Representative District 127 in the March 2010 primary.”
Dan Huberty is currently the President of the Humble Independent School District.
As one of seven trustees, he oversees a $250,000,000 annual budget, which educates over 33,000 students in Humble, Texas. Having been first elected in May 2006, Dan was unopposed for reelection in May of 2009. Dan served in various capacities over the last four years on the school board, most recently as Chairman of the Finance Committee, where he has worked diligently with the current board, the community, and our local and state officials to find a resolution to school finance issues.
Dan is Vice President of Clean Energy, North America’s largest provider of natural gas for transportation. In this role, Dan is working with national fleet operators, airports, and taxi and parking operators to convert their vehicles to clean burning compressed and liquefied natural gas. Clean Energy has a broad customer base in refuse, transit, ports, shuttle, taxi, regional trucking, airport and the municipal fleet markets.
Dan is a Board member of the National Parking Association, and the “Be an Angel Fund.” He is also a member of the Knights of Columbus, Humble Rotary, Humble Area Chamber of Commerce, Humble Area Retired Teachers Association, Friends of the Atascocita Library, Kingwood Chamber of Commerce, Kingwood Executive Group, Kingwood Area Republican Women, and Lake Houston Shores Republican Women.
Dan and his wife, Janet, have three children, Brianna (9), Ryan (7) and Dylan (5). The Huberty family is very active at Saint Martha’s Catholic Church where Dan serves on the Building & Planning Committee.
