Unless Paul endorses someone else (unlikely) I'll probably be voting for her. As much as I like Rick Perry, and there is much about him to like, I think Debra would be even better for this state.

TAF, thanks so much for posting the Ron Paul link. Coming from Ron Paul is highly favorable.

But reading the comments by other posters is even more eye opening. You owe it to yourself to watch the youtube post in one of the comments. "If you're interested in actually learning what she DID say at that rally...watch the full speech."

It is in regards to the speech made at Texas Sovereignty or Secession Rally recorded on August 29, 2009 at Austin, Texas . It's 7:24 long, but it is very interesting. Please watch it.

Edit to add: Please also watch(if you can) Larry Kilgore's speech made the same day. I cannot in good conscience cast my vote for someone who embraces this ideology.

No no. Not sarcasm at all. In one of the youtube videos, I believe it was down with the Federal Reserve petition speech, there was a guy standing behind her the entire time with a Libertarian Party poster. He was standing 4 maybe 5 feet behind her.

That's where I got that impression. Thanks for clarifying.

chabouk, thanks so much for posting. If any of the forum members are considering voting for her, you owe it to yourself to watch as many of those youtube clips as you can. I watched 3 or 4 and came out with a basic understanding of what she stands for.

I didn't realize she's running under the Libertarian Party ticket. I also didn't know she is advocating eliminating the Federal Reserve. She is, like others have said, in favor of eliminating property taxes. And the list goes on.

A few of the issues I like, some of the issues I don't.

One of the things we have been saying since the Legislature retired back in June, was that even though we lost several bills that were important to us, NOW is the time to start looking at the next Governor's race. The race is already on as I've heard some things from Kay Bailey and for the first time today I heard from Gubernatorial Candidate, Debra Medina.

I knew absolutely nothing about her until I listened in on the Wells Report on KLIF 570 AM in Dallas this afternoon.(I was hoping to hear something about the State Fair shenanigans that the gate people were doing to CHL holders, which is a HOT topic in the General CHL Discussion Forum. But that was not to be.) The Obama winning the Nobel Peace Prize dominated the majority of the show. (yawn)

However, in the last hour or so Jon-David Wells had on as a guest Debra Medina, and interviewed her. Toward the end of the interview he opened up the call lines for questions only.

I was fairly impressed with her opening presentation, which include some political campaigning(more yawn), BUT when he opened up the phone lines, several callers called in questions regarding RKBA issues. Her answers blew me away.

She is STRONG pro 2A. One caller asked her: "Do you support open carry in the State of Texas". Her succinct answer was a definite Yes. No further discussion followed.

For now, she does have my interest. It's good to know that the candidates are openly expressing support of our 2A rights. I look forward to when the race is in full bloom to hear what they have to say about gun issues.
