Texas GOP Vote

Update: Petition now has over 5000 signatures!

Last weekend at my County Convention in Hardin County, TX, I was pleasantly surprised when a young woman from my county, Chelsea Willis, approached me and said she had a petition with over 3000 signatures on it. The petition was to try to persuade Mitt Romney to come to a Texas Republican Presidential Debate. The petition is titled "Potential Nominees, attend the GOP Debate (Houston, TX on May 24th, 2012)".   Read more »

One thing is certain about this fall. Republicans must enthusiastically unite behind the Republican nominee in order to defeat Barack Obama and prevent a second and more devastating term of office. For many of us Mass. Governor Mitt Romney was not the first, second or even third choice for the Republican Nomination. However, we have had a long primary season, testing and vetting a wide variety of candidates. It appears at this point that Gov. Romney will earn the necessary delegates to win the nomination.   Read more »

The national media has now jumped in after TexasGOPVote blogger David Bellow blogged about a possible emergency State Republican Executive Committee (SREC) meeting to change Texas from a proportional to a winner-take-all state, when Texas Republican delegates participate in the Republican National Convention in August. Bellow's post came on the heals of his post about the pending Texas Presidential Debate in May and his post about the resolution passed by the Republican Party of Texas warning Gov. Mitt Romney to attend the debate or risk losing Texas delegates. Today, additional national blogs and media stepped in. Bellow was quoted extensively in the Daily Caller as well as several other sources (see more links below).

If the SREC changes Texas into a winner-take-all state, 155 delegates are up for grabs,

Now it is time to take it to the next step. Now it is time to do something that we should have done a long time ago. Now is the time for Texas Republicans to have a voice and be relevant. It is time to go back to winner take all!

We need 15 members of the 62 Texas Republican Party State Republican Executive Committee members to sign a petition in order to call for an emergency meeting of the SREC to change the Republican Party of Texas rules back to us being a Winner Take All state instead of being proportional.   Read more »

Below is the article about Texas GOP Passing a Resolution Warning Romney:

The State Republican Executive Committee of the Republican Party of Texas met for a quarterly meeting on Saturday March 31st, 2012 in Austin, TX.

Several things of importance happened at the meeting, but this article will only cover the resolutions that were passed by the SREC. I will post other articles regarding the other things that happened at the meeting.

There were five resolutions passed at this meeting. The most pressing and striking resolution that passed was a resolution warning Mitt Romney to go to the Texas Presidential Debate that the Republican Party of Texas is putting together before the Texas Primary on May 29th, 2012. Gingrich, Santorum and Paul have accepted the invitation to this nationally televised Texas Presidential Debate. Romney has not accepted.   Read more »

AUSTIN (Republican Party of Texas) - Late last week, State GOP Chairman Steve Munisteri issued an invitation to all four Republican Presidential candidates to come to Texas for a nationally-televised debate in May.   Read more »

Candidates will be warned by Texas GOP that if they do not show up, they will be considered as not caring for Texas and should not get our vote.

A Major Presidential Debate in Texas? This is pretty much unheard of!

Nothing is set in stone yet, but the Republican Party of Texas is close to finalizing a deal that will bring a nationally televised Republican Presidential Debate to Houston, TX on May 24th, 2012. The debate will be only 5 days before the Texas Primary Election and there are 155 Presidential Delegates at stake. A candidate needs 1144 delegates to win the Republican nomination.   Read more »
