- Voting is not your right, it is your responsibility.
- Vote the whole ballot. It matters.
- The most important election is the Primary. This is where a grassroots candidate has the best chance of beating a well-funded establishment candidate.
- All Republican candidates sound conservative, but many do not vote conservatively.
- Study the scorecards and/or endorsements from watchdog groups to assist with your candidate choices. For example:
- Texans For Fiscal Responsibility
- Texas Eagle Forum
- Young Conservatives of Texas
- Texas Values
- When you see an advertisement on TV/Radio/Paper regarding any candidate, question everything:
- The timing of the “breaking news”?
- Who paid for the advertisement?
- Can the message be proven?

- BEWARE: Democrat donors form groups that deceptively sound conservative. Some of them are:
- Texans For Individual Rights
- Conservative Voters of Texas
- Texans For Insurance Reform
- Texans For Public Education
- Vote your values. Biblical values. Moral values. Constitutional values. Life values. Liberty values. Vote your values.
- Know that there will not always be a clear candidate of choice and that your choice will not always be correct.
- When in doubt, vote the incumbent out.
