Some of you know me, others do not. I am a long time Liberty activist from Tarrant County Texas. I have been a active member of these forums for years. I decided to run for State Representative in Texas in 2012 and we won! It was an amazing experience and we won against all odds. I can firmly say we stood strong on principles and took a lot of tough votes in the process. Now we are enjoying massive success and acknowledgement from many different groups and expanding my base of supporters while educating the public on our beliefs.

A lot of candidates come here and fleece for money and support, I have never ever done it, nor do I plan on ever doing it. I raised the money needed for my campaign through personal relationships and grassroots locally. We are hosting a Defend Texas Liberty Moneybomb on July 29th. You can check it out at www.libertymoneybomb.com which also has further information about me in general. A little bird told me those of you in Texas may be hearing from Dr. Paul about it shortly which is AWESOME!

What I am asking for you all personally is symbolic in nature. Can the Paul movement I was born from show support for someone who does what he said he would do? My hope is that everyone who can, pledge $5 dollars (or less) to add their name to my next finance report and then on July 29th make the donation with everyone else. As you know the success of a moneybomb is always about momentum and wide support. Your small symbolic pledge/donation I know will push my local sources to do more and bring my average donation number down further. They are all new to this concept and excited by it already!

All donations are being matched dollar for dollar on this day by a conservative group here in Texas who I rank as their #1 conservative on the scorecard they publish.

Quite a bit has been pledged already by my supporters here in Texas. Again I am hoping folks like yourself participating with a small pledge/donation of $5 (or less) will send a different statement than financially - what I fight for on the floor of the Texas House is bigger than me and frankly it is a national movement that demands attention by the GOP.

Because I am one of you at heart the first thing we did when organizing this moneybomb was put together a video about the event.

I hope you enjoy it. More than anything I want to encourage all of you. Liberty can win at every level. It is winning and it is growing all around us. Thank you to all of you who inspired me to go out on a limb and run, you changed my life forever and now you've changed the entire state of Texas.

God bless and keep us in your prayers!

Stickland is the real deal. He got a warrant-less e-mail bill passed through the TX legislature to help protect everyone's privacy. I am hoping to replicate it in other states!

I'm in for $20! Pledged and ready to drop the money on the 29th!

~$34,000 pledged. The match is for the first $75,000!! Almost there! Go get 'em!

For liberty!

Thanks ghengis86 and thank you for the $20!

I do want to point out though I think I can get close to $75,000 already. Mainly looking for moral support and to add more donors than dollars from this crowd. Save the real donations for Gunny or someone similar =)

I live in the North Texas area just out of Stickland's area but I am so thankful we have him here in Tarrant County. He has fought for privacy, limited government and sound money. We need to send this guy $$$$$. The establishment wants him gone. We need to go all out for this one. No matter where you are located please show a little love. Thank you!

In Liberty!

Kory.

Those of you that know me know I don't typically endorse anyone, and a lot of times my standards are picky enough I don't vote for anyone in a given race.

Jonathan's the real deal. He's been with the Texas movement since 2007, and when he decided to step up and run for this office I was glad to tell people to vote for him and volunteer for him. Since he got elected he's continued to show he's the real deal, which you can perhaps tell most easily by the kind of people in the press who absolutely hate him.

In Texas we're still working to set the standard and example of making a safe place for liberty to grow and people like Jonathan are helping us make that a reality. Help him out if you can.

Isn't Wendy Davis from Tarrant County? You should run against her if you can! Isn't the Senate sort of a promotion? Regardless, keep up fighting for liberty!

Her senate district covers half of my house district. It has been talked about but I would have to move one precinct over. Also I think it takes a woman to beat her and we already have won that is very liberty minded! www.konniburton.com

But yeah, Wendy no likey me right now! Probubly because of this:

Or maybe this:

And if that did not do it this did:

(This was in front of 5,000 of her pro choice protestors at a rally outside the capitol. In your face!)
