The votes are in -- all 480 of them -- and the winners in our Conservative Candidate Fair Straw Poll are:
Note: We sincerely apologize to Judge Debra Lehrmann, who has personally attended several Tea Party/Conservative events and who had a presence at the Candidate Fair, for inadvertently not including the race for Supreme Court Justice Place 3 in our straw poll. We also apologize to Rick Green, who had a presence at the Candidate Fair and is in the same race.
The NE Tarrant Tea Party presents a public forum featuring Tarrant County candidates. Invited candidates include:
Join other conservatives for a simple conversation about the candidates. Who are you voting for? Tell me why. What about this other candidate? Share your questions and your answers! Speak up or just listen -- or do a little of both. No candidates will be present, no speeches will be given; it's just everyday people trying to figure out who to vote for.
Note: While the NE Tarrant Tea Party is coordinating this event, we do not in any way endorse any candidates. Our goal here is to provide a comfortable setting where you can get educated on the candidates and make your own decisions.
We'll meet in the gym for a free pancake breakfast and motivational speaker, and then head out in teams to strategically target precincts that will make the most difference in the election.
This is our last chance to get voters to the polls to vote for conservative candidates. If conservatives don't win the primaries, we've lost this battle and the November elections mean nothing. We must ALL do all we can to get conservatives to the polls! This will be a fun AND productive event, and we need you!
On February 27, 2010, thousands of citizens from around Dallas and Collin Counties concerned about the unrestrained growth in the size and scope of government will gather at Dallas City Hall from 12–2 p.m. to encourage citizen involvement in the electoral process.
The rally is a follow-up to the highly successful Tax Day Tea Parties held around the nation on April 15, 2009. During these gatherings, citizens voiced their displeasure with the massive growth of an increasingly powerful federal government and unsustainable spending and debt. Rally organizers want to provide a platform for citizens and grassroots leaders to come together to inspire participation in the growing movement for a return to constitutional principles with a focus on recruiting and supporting candidates at all levels who are dedicated to limited government, individual liberty and free market principles.
Ken Emanuelson, a Dallas Tea Party organizer, said
"Tea Party Patriots from around North Texas are energized about getting together to promote the five principles upon which the Tea Party movement was founded: limited government, fiscal responsibility, the rule of law, national sovereignty, and personal responsibility. If followed, these principles would go a long way toward addressing the issues we face as a country. And, as was true of the protesters who staged the original 1773 Tea Party in Boston Harbor, we love our country and stand against any attempt by the government to usurp the individual liberties of its citizens."
Did you read the emails the NE Tarrant Tea Party sent out during this election period?
No matter what role you played, large or small, we want to thank you for your support and help during the primary election period! We also want a chance to get to know you and your family better. So we're inviting our entire tea party membership list and their families to a good, old-fashioned potluck! The NE Tarrant Tea Party will provide the brisket and drinks, as well as plates and eating utensils. You bring a side dish or dessert and come celebrate with us.
