I'm getting a little frustrated with the lack of traction Steve Stockman is getting in Texas.

If he were to be able to force a runoff and win, it would be both a huge win for liberty and a huge loss for the establishment, as Cornyn is McConnell's right hand man. In Kentucky, Bevin is actually well positioned to knock off McConnell thanks to his own wealth and the support of outside groups. Stockman, unfortunately, has neither. But I don't want to give up on Texas. They are capable of electing Stockman. We need to figure out how to help him.

One of the main things which would give him momentum is endorsements. We need to somehow get Ron Paul to take a stand in the race. We need to get Louis Gohmert to change his neutrality. A Rafael Cruz, unlikely as it is, would be awesome.

Stockman needs help on social media too. His Facebook is lacking likes. If you run a Facebook page, please share his page and encourage people to support his campaign. https://www.facebook.com/congressmanstevestockman

How many of you live in Texas? Please volunteer to send a letter to the editor detailing why conservatives should vote for Stockman over Cornyn.

What else can we do?

I live in Texas, Stockman should be doing everything Stovall is doing. That man knows how to run a Senate campaign on a tight budget. Last I checked, I could not even sign up to volunteer for Stockman.


Emailing local Conservative talk hosts would help. Not just the big markets, but all the small town stations.

Great suggestion. BTW-Looks like you can sign up now: http://stockman2014.com/volunteer
 
We have another Bright/Mace situation here. Two candidates in the Primary that are acceptable. We need to force a run-off and one of the acceptable candidates needs to come in second...

I'll be advertising both of them on Twitter, but that's not going to help a lot. Texas is a big State, and Boobus only watches TV. The Chamber of Commerce will outspend everyone with TV ads in their pushing of Cornyn. It's gotta happen at the grassroots level in Texas.

There won't be a runoff here. I honestly don't have a solution.
 
TV ads work in this market and outspending Cornyn seems impossible.
 
I think Cornyn is going start tanking soon. He hasn't had a real contender for as long as I remember and he has alot of talking points that he can be bashed over the head on. He can only go down I if they can get him to a run off it will be over for him.
