Chas.

Since I do not live in Harris County. I will not be voting for either. My comment was not a political statement. Right is right and wrong is wrong regardless which party one belongs to.

I also didn't say anyone specific including the DA. My comment and anger is towards whomever pursued their agenda by indicting the whistleblowers and not the criminals that kill babies and sell body parts. The videos are Very clear what was going on.

Again, my comment was not meant to be political as I know very little about the details of Harris County politics.

The Harris Count District Attorney is, like every other distrct attorney in the State of Texas, an elected official. They are elected by the voters in the county in which they serve.

I don't entirely disagree about holding ourselves to a higher standard. However, the deck is stacked against us. At some point when you continue to play by rules that aren't even recognized by your opponent you're no longer in the game, you're not even on the field. I'm not leaving, and I wouldn't leave even if there was some place to go.

I'm going off grid as much as possible but at this point, that's not a lot. At this point any practical "revolt" is limited to the states standing up to the federal government. For example, if the feds pass a law to confiscate guns, states like Texas pass a law refusing to recognize or enforce that law, just like other states allow sanctuary cities and don't enforce marijuana laws. That is the only peaceful means of opposition to tyranny remaining to us.

I don't think that you and I are crazy far apart. And I get the frustration. Believe me, I get the frustration.

Lauren Reeder, one of the prosecutors in the Harris County district attorney’s office, revealed last August that she was a member of the board of directors for the Planned Parenthood affiliate that was targeted by Daleiden.

Reeder’s LinkedIn page indicates that she has been a Planned Parenthood board member since 2013 and a fundraiser for the abortion provider since 2009:
