My Vote For Texas Governor

When Kelly and I went to the Austin Tea Party Express in November, we heard several candidates for governor speak. We were impressed by several of them, but in particular by Debra Medina. At the time I remember thinking that she probably didn't have much of a chance running against two career politicians, Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison and Governor Rick Perry. But I was wrong, and we were not the only ones who've been impressed with Mrs. Medina.

I like her position on most of the issues, including the most important one to me, abortion. Check this page to see where she stands on the issues.

Pro-Life Period

Life begins at conception and concludes at natural death.

Every human is created in the image of God. God, not man, is the measure of all things. Every human life is precious and I will work to protect innocent human life.

I like her outspokenness. She calls it as she sees it, and doesn't mince words about it:

To kick off the last debate of the primary season between the big three in the GOP, Debra Medina called out Rick Perry.

"In a recent interview at the Blogger's Summit, Governor Perry said that ending the property tax in Texas was a very intriguing and positive idea. However, he fell short of embracing the end of property tax or any significant change in management of the state's current fiscal crisis, maintaining that Texas is on the right path. "Well, I'm saying "bullshit" and here's why," Medina said.

"Not only have we seen loss of jobs in the private sector, the most recent State Comptroller's Fiscal Notes shows total state tax collections have fallen by over 20%, while funds from the federal government to the state government have risen nearly 34% so far this year over last year, to plug the huge hole in Governor Perry's state budget."
