Kay Bailey Hutchinson wants us to help her be Texas Governor.

Ron Paul better get on it. This is an email i got from her since i write her so much about votes. It including links but basically you can go to http://texansforkay.com






"Texans deserve a government in Austin that listens and responds to them.


I am writing you because I need your help and your advice today.


If you believe Texas is faring somewhat better economically than many other states, but a positive future is not guaranteed, I need your help. It will take leaders who are looking ahead to meet the economic and budget challenges that are coming.



Will you join me right now in this good work of renewing our state's leadership by focusing on results and what's good for Texas?



Will you be one of the first Texans to serve on my Exploratory Committee and put your name on my leadership list?



There are many Texans - friends, community and business leaders, Republicans, Democrats, Independents and people who've never been in politics - that I want to talk to before becoming a formal candidate for our Party's nomination for Governor of Texas.



Texans want a Governor who, through sound budgetary policies and low taxes, works for quality schools and universities, access to health care for our families, communities safe from crime and drugs, protection of private property rights, and sensible transportation.



I have proudly served and sought to enhance and protect Texans in the U.S. Senate. I will continue to work hard as Governor on the issues that will prepare our state for the challenges in the global economy.



If you agree Texas must start looking ahead, I hope you'll join my team by clicking here now.



With you on my team, we will renew our commitment to excellence in leadership and results for Texas.



Sincerely,

KAY"

well $#@!..


she would be the worst thing to happen to Texas since Rick "Fairy" Perry

[Scribbler de Stebbing]

Send her a letter like the one Grover Norquist sent GW.

This is exactly the reason why I won't be voting for Kay Bailey Hutchinson.

[haaaylee]

I say we all join her team and just preach Austrian economics. why not? she needs the help. We can at least do a comment bomb on her blog and let her people know how we feel.

[jsu718]

I say she voted for the bailout. I don't want her as my senator, let alone as my governor.

[Dustancostine]

Well to run for Governor she has to resign her Senate seat. That would lead to a special election that will allow RP, if he choose to run for the Senate.

I don't want Kay Bailout, but I do want Ron to run for the Senate.

i forgot what it was but he said something pretty offputting on the alex jones show i cant remember what though

So, what are you thinking? You think you're going to have anarchy right now? The reality is that we ARE going to have another Governor in Texas. Seems to me that it's rational to get someone that believes as closely to our position, as possible. I should've said "Ron Paul's positions", because WE don't agree all that much on this forum anymore. Certainly, the anarchists don't agree.

[LibertyEagle]

Anyone know why Penny decided not to run?

shes a drug warrior and voted for the bailout so she is neither fiscaly conservative nor pro civil libertys i think we can do better

Personal issues/realized this isn't 2006. Independants won't get more than 2% this year.

Kay-Bailey Hutchison? I wouldn't vote for her, if she was the only person on the ballot.

[LibertyEagle]

Huh? Would you explain a bit more, please? I'm not getting your reference to 2006.

Independants won't get more than 2% this year.

For sure, if we don't run someone who has name recognition (in addition to good principles, of course). It's not like Perry won by any great margin. What percentage was it that he got? It wasn't that high.

[tonesforjonesbones]

What about Michael Badnarik? I think he went independent. tones

[DFF]

Nope. She voted for the bailout.

[SLSteven]

No More Bailouts!

lol i didnt understand the post you were quoting and the context & what not.

my bad

[Eric21ND]

Get Kinky Friedman to run again...I kinda like that guy, plus he likes Ron Paul
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e9t_Es_du6o


This time around he'd benefit from huge support from the RP community.

[haaaylee]

BTW this post is in no way an endorsement of her. at all. just a note to confirm she is starting the process.

[Malakai]

Looked at her senate record, not impressed. At all.

My governor is a douchebag too Texans so don't feel bad. Good old mr million dollar taxpayer european adventure, Charlie Christ.

Kinky would be great. I'd send money and might just take a couple months off work to come down and help campaign for him. Plus, I think we should all go out of our way to support politicians who came out during the primaries and openly supported Dr Paul. They took the political risk and they should get rewarded for standing up for our freedoms.

Kinky's a good backup in case RP doesn't run. Kinky is thinking of running as a Dem, and with Bill White choosing to run for Senate, there's no big name yet for the Dems running.

I was half-joking

Politics at that level is just a big waste of time and money. If there was a principled candidate like RP with a shot at winning I might donate. If you're into politics focus your efforts on the local level, imo.

maybe he should be the one we support for president in 2012

[rich34]

I think the idea is to get her to run so that she'll give up her senate seat that way it will pave the way for Ron to run for her Senate seat if he so chooses. Honestly if it played out that way it would be a great opportunity for him to get that senate seat because you know he'll have no problems raising money on a short notice :-)
