Voting in the primary is the first step in taking back your state and your country. One thing the establishment doesn't want you to realize is that you can do so much more.
You do not need to just ask your representatives to vote the right way and hope they hear you. You do not need to just send Debra Medina as Governor to wrestle with the legislature on her own to end the property tax and protect state sovereignty. You yourself can directly carry forward what you want from your representatives and cast a vote on it yourself to which they MUST pay attention.
The political party is one of the most powerful forces to promote the will of the people mankind has ever created, but that power is wasted if not used. We as the party CAN hold our elected officials accountable. We control who is allowed to run on the Republican ballot in Texas. We can use this power to require candidates and incumbents to tell us where they stand on the platform and we can hold them accountable if they lie to us. We can use this power to establish and enforce term limits that apply to anyone wanting to run as a Republican for any state or federal office.
The methods for achieving these goals are well understood and have been upheld in the courts time and time again, as recently as 2008 and as high as the presidential campaign level. The process is not complex but REQUIRES your involvement at party conventions the night of the primary and then again for a few days in the spring and summer. The establishment and special interests do not want this accountability and want to deny us the right to exercise this power. We will only win by making sure we have more votes present than they do.
