So the RLC's endorsement really means nothing? Aww. Well that saves me money. Yeah I agree. Liberty-minded people really do go about their own way supporting candidates. I looked into that one website you gave me which was basically a radio website. It was interesting. It had Kesha Rogers on air at one point. I didn't really know how to connect with anyone through there. I don't really know how I'll connect with Simpson or Stickland either. It kinda sucks since it seems like Sugar Land and a few other areas encompassed in Fort Bend County doesn't really have that many liberty-minded Republicans.[FONT=Helvetica, Arial, lucida grande, tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif]Republican Liberty Caucus of Texas, They endorse...

[FONT=Helvetica, Arial, lucida grande, tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif]If you're going to run consider the endorsements of Simpson or Stickland, they'll know who to hook you up with. That, and it's always nice to have the endorsements of the 2 most conservative members of the Legislature. [/FONT]
I am not a member, I have considered joining. I pay attention to their endorsements, I used to respect them more than I do now. But ever since they recommended Sarah Davis for Reelection in HD 134 this year, I have been wondering what they are smoking.
Why on earth would ANYBODY endorse Sarah Davis?![]()
I don't have any first-hand knowledge, but the RLC Houston seems to be obsessed with abortion.
Idk why they would endorse her. Maybe she's in the RLC?
Actually, I just looked into it. Usually when they recommend someone it's because the other option is HORRIBLE.
I thought of that, but they endorsed Steve Stockman didn't they? And he is extremely pro life.
The state RLC did ... the Sarah Davis endorsement (recommendation) came from RLC Houston.
Republican Liberty Caucus of Texas, They endorse... That's about it. Nothing else. It's about as good as nothing.

AMEN!I still think liberty candidates would be well served by an organization/PAC under which we could organize, raise funds, and promote the liberty agenda ... perhaps our own version of Empower Texans. The RLC could be that organization, but unfortunately it seems to offer little more than a bad website (actually, two bad websites) and irrelevent endorsements. But I wanted to see if others here had the same view.

If the Libertarian Party would stop acting like babies and get on board, this could actually work. I want to do something like FreedomWorks. I think the only problem is a lot of liberty-minded people really don't have a place in government. A lot of us can promote the message but that doesn't really mean we can spread it to voters and rally people. When I get back home from college I think I'll ask the LP in the Houston ever if they seriously considered coming back to the RP.I still think liberty candidates would be well served by an organization/PAC under which we could organize, raise funds, and promote the liberty agenda ... perhaps our own version of Empower Texans.

Get in contact with Chris Howe, he's friend with Heather Fazio. Shes with the MPP right now, since your in the Houston area check out the "Liberty on the rocks" group in Houston. Jeremy Blosser, he's helping TJs campaign contact him about getting involved and who to talk to
Yes, and in State Legislature races, some of the PAC's give large amounts directly to candidates as well. The Federal races are a different game.money is is best spent given directly to the candidates.
I agree with your sentiment, it'd be nice to have a central source of who's good and who's bad.
