OUST Joe Straus

Joe Straus vs. Matt Beebe

We lost the battle of getting Ken Paxton elected as the Texas Speaker of the House for the 82nd legislature, but that does not mean we have given up.

We now are working to not only prevent Joe Straus from becoming the Texas Speaker of the House for the 83rd legislature, but to prevent his re-election to the Texas House of Representatives.
TEAParty911.com founder, Michael Kinzie has endorsed Matt Beebe in HD-121 and we are all working hard to get Beebe elected to rid the House of Representatives of Joe Straus.

To see how you can help, please go to Matt Beebe's page on our site.

2011 Texas Conservative Celebration hosted by TexasConservativeAction.org

• View or Print Flyer

Where: The Texas State Capitol Grounds, Austin, Texas.
When: 9:00 AM January 11, 2011 through 3:00 PM
9:00 to 1:00 Circulate the Capitol and the Grounds avoiding the South Steps.
1:00 PM January 11, 2011 through 3:00 PM. Program on the South Steps.
Attire: Let's see a sea of red. Wear your red Shirt or jacket and turn the Capitol Grounds Republican Red. Bring your Conservative Texan" sign with you. Please remember that all signs must be hand held. Stakes or sticks are not allowed.
Why: We are gathering to welcome our Representatives and Senators to Austin to do our work. We elected these ladies and gentlemen to positions of public trust. The dynamic of the past has not worked. We have sent goodmen and women to Austin where some of them have promptly forgotten who sent them and in many cases what they said they would do. We will change the dynamic with our attendance. It is our job as conservative voters to hold our elected officials accountable.
Special Note: We will be the guests of the State Preservation Board. Our State Capitol is the workplace for our elected officials and as such must be treated with respect. The Capitol, like your County Court House, is not a place for politicking. Campaign activities and commercial activities are prohibited in the public areas of the Capitol and the Capitol Extension. We can politely support a cause of action, but we can not use the Capitol as a platform for any particular candidate for any political position. Our Sponsor has specifically requested that we not support or advertise for any particular candidate for any public position, particularly the Speaker of the House during our event.
What: Our objective is to politely remind these kind folks that we hired them to do a job. We hired them to do our work, the people's work. We know it is not an easy job, but they wanted the job. Many of them spent a significant amount of time, money and effort to get elected to these jobs. Many of us spent significant time, money and resources to get them elected. We expect them to vote as they campaigned. We expect our State government to return to our founding principles of limited government and personal liberty.

We expect a true conservative leader for Speaker of the House of Representatives. Conservatives cannot blow in the wind with the change of political events. Being a conservative is not like repainting the house a different color. Conservative values are based on principles. Conservatives never compromise on principles. We will make a difference with our presence.

Please plan to arrive at the Capitol to enjoy the grounds and the facilities on January 11 prior to 10:00 PM. Parking will be at a premium and you can expect congested traffic in the proximity of the Capitol. Plan to be there early. Wear Red. We need to make sure that our elected officials can easily identify our group. Bring a Sign. The Event Sign is "Conservative Texan." These signs are available for bulk purchase. Remember that we cannot sell them on the Capitol Grounds.

Voter ID, Border Security, Education Not Administration.

"We The People" Texas 2011 and Beyond"

We have secured a conference room for both the 10th and 11th and doors open at 8AM.

We would like you to join this open house project, come in register that you were there, pick up materials such as surveys and information that you can hand deliver to the State Reps offices. This will be especially important Monday morning before the caucus. We will stay open so you can come back and enjoy some Texas hospitality. We will also have media there for you to share your story and opinion and document the real stories and numbers of Tea Parties that are there for the two days!

The strategy is also to announce this event in a big way before the caucus and vote so the State Reps on the bubble will know that we will be there and either way the vote goes we are networking and planning to primary them depending on their vote. Do they want to be on the list that is a target after the vote. That is their choice.

We The People – 2011 and Beyond Location

Texas Conservative Digest - Austin, TX January 11th, 2011

TCD - It's time to SPEAK-UP Folks. All the work that was done in 2009 and 2010 will go down in flames if Joe Straus is re-elected as Speaker of the Texas House. On opening day of the 82nd Texas Legislature -- Tuesday, January 11, 2010, from 12:00 to 3:00 P. M., we need you in Austin at the State Capitol. I know – it's a work day for all of us – but if there is way for you to be there – this is our shot to really put Texas in the lead nationally. Joe Straus will, once again bring his Democrats and RINO coalition to shoot down the conservative agenda IF he is re-elected. We need to be there to let our elected representatives hear from the people who put them in office – and who can take them out again!!

The very first order of business in the Texas House will be the selection of a Speaker. When that vote is taken, we need as many people as can fit into the Capitol to be there to see how your Legislator votes. We are about to find out who the truly conservative Legislators are that we elected and who are the 'Posers'! Bring your flags, pad and pencil, cameras, tape recorders and come prepared to take the word back to your home districts. The days of politicians 'hiding in the night' are over and Election 2012 starts January 11th, 2011!!
