Since I commented on Speaker Straus’ headlining of a fundraiser for State Representative Patrick Rose, I have gotten to know his opponent, Jason Isaac, and the people of HD 45. Many people had told me that Jason was “the real deal,” someone who stands by his principles and can beat Rose with an impressive grassroots effort.

I am the future!
Well, not necessarily me personally, but people like me certainly are.
Texas First Lady Addresses Del Rio High School Graduates
On the evening of June 4th, I was at a graduation in my hometown of Del Rio, Texas. Tonight was extra special, not only because the First Lady of Texas, Anita Perry, was the commencement speaker, but because it was the largest graduating class in Del Rio history!
If It Ain’t Broke, Don’t Fix It
It might come as a surprise to some, but I have a tendency to read the opinions espoused by those on the left on various websites.
It isn’t because I like to laugh at how ridiculous they sound at times or because I get a kick out of their extremely weak arguments (usually based on personal attacks)–it is because I like to see what their concerns are and how conservatism can, in many cases, address those concerns.
Wishful Thinking, or Great Case for Voter ID?
Out here on the border, in Val Verde County, there will be what could be a major “vote harvesting” trial coming up.
Cutting its Nose to Spite its Face? Seriously?
You know, I had a lot of respect for Debra Medina. She really ran an impressive grassroots campaign for Governor, but then she goes and does something ridiculous and I can’t keep my mouth shut.
Say It Ain’t So, Joe!
Earlier today I got news of a fundraiser that will take place next Wednesday, May 12th, in Driftwood, Texas. At first I thought it was a joke, or just a crazy rumor, but after researching, I discovered that the Republican Speaker of the Texas House, Joe Straus, will be headlining the fundraiser for Democratic State Representative Patrick Rose!
Arizona’s SB 1070
So I’m sure this is going to ruffle some feathers, but I both approve and disapprove of Arizona’s SB 1070. I understand that this may be confusing, but though I agree that this bill is a step in the right direction, I do not think it will end up accomplishing much.
Lone Star Tea Party speech – Fernando Trevino
On April 15th, 2010, I delivered this speech to an estimated 18,000 people at the Lone Star Tea Party at QuikTrip Park in Grand Prairie, Texas.
Mamma Didn’t Raise No Fool
Having grown up in a Latino family on the border, I have always been around people who, more often than not, supported Democrats for any office. I even interned for Congressman Solomon Ortiz (D, TX-27)–a fact that I’m hesitant to mention for idealogical reasons, but in the end it was a great learning experience for me.
