BREAKING NEWS: The City of Burleson, Texas is trying to shut down a Tax Day Tea Party planned for April 15th!!
According to local organizers, unelected “street supervisor” Ray Gonzales, informed them that he was going to prevent the event from happening.
Mr. Gonzales told organizers that he is on a special events staff, which is under the city manager’s office in Burleson. Gonzales explained to one local organizer that the special events staff had decided this protest was “not in the public interest.” He is telling organizers that David Wynn, the city manager, is his boss, and could overturn this decision. For the record, the city manager’s office told local organizers that they do not need a permit to demonstrate in Burleson, and they are not saying that the organizers need one now.
I will post an update as soon as I get one from the local organizers, but I have been told that Mr. Gonzales is trying to get the Texas Department of Transportation to stop the tea party from happening.
Those who cherish liberty must stand with our friends in Burleson, Texas, and demand that the local government immediately drop all attempts to cancel the Burleson Tea Party.
Call and email them now!!!

Burleson City Manager David Wynnkmearns@burlesontx.com (817) 447-5400 x 234

Texas: Don't Forget: Rally for the Voter ID Bill at the Capitol Tomorrow!
Join fellow supporters of Voter ID on the South steps of the Capitol at 7:45 AM tomorrow, Tuesday, March 10!
Tomorrow the Texas Senate hears debate on SB 362, a bill that would reduce voter fraud by requiring a photo ID in Texas to vote. Even though this legislation has the support of more than 70% of Texans and politicians from both sides of the aisle, liberal special interests are intent on burying this bill and denying Texans a fair election process.
To show your support for this important legislation, join Texans from around the state at the Capitol tomorrow at 7:45am and wear red. If you'd like to testify any time during the day, head to the 2nd floor of the East Wing, and sign up at the table in front of the Senate Chamber. You can also register your support by filling out the card for SB 362 outside the Senate chamber in the Capitol. Simply check "Support," and "Does not wish to provide oral testimony" to encourage the Texas Senate to pass this legislation.
If you would like any further information or wish to leave comments about Voter ID, please visit our Web site to share your thoughts.
Get involved! Visit RickPerry.org/blog to join the conversation, join the Governor's Facebook page, or follow the Governor on Twitter.

Governor Sarah Palin's Endorsement of Governor Rick Perry
Below is a copy of the letter that Alaska Governor Sarah Palin sent to Texas Republican Women endorsing Governor Rick Perry for re-election in 2010
Dear Texas Republican Women,
After traveling all over this great country of ours, I have seldom found more endearing and inspiring women than Texas Republican women. You are independent, confident, and know how to make an impact in your state– much like the women of Alaska.
Because of your work, Texas is the largest red state in the nation, and it has a strong, conservative governor.
While a bunch of politicians have gone to Washington, hat in hand, seeking a bailout, Governor Perry has said we should stimulate the economy with tax cuts and maintain spending discipline. Rick Perry is true to conservative principles even when others think the party needs to go a different direction. I like that about him: he doesn’t care which way the wind blows, he acts on his beliefs.
That's why I am supporting Governor Rick Perry for re-election. He does what is right regardless of whether it is popular. He walks the walk of a true conservative. And he sticks to his guns – and you know how I feel about guns!
With our current economic crisis, and working families worried about their pensions, jobs, credit card debt and rising home foreclosures, we need strong conservative leadership in trend-setting states like Texas.
Rick Perry is a leader. While the nation lost half a million jobs in the last year, Texas gained 250,000 net new jobs. He improved the job climate in Texas by refusing to raise taxes in the face of the largest budget deficit in Texas history. He had the foresight to join legislators in saving for a rainy day. And he has consistently asked agency heads to cut their budgets even when surpluses were rolling in. My fellow Republicans, that’s consistent leadership. That's Rick Perry.

Governor Perry has also advocated for greater domestic drilling for energy, and a diversified energy mix – including greater development of renewable sources – so America is not held hostage by Middle East ayatollahs and foreign dictators. But in order to overcome extremist opposition to responsible exploration, we need proven leaders in energy states like Texas who will not back down when it up comes to expanding the energy supply.
Let me say one more thing about my friend and your governor: he knows all human life is precious. Rick Perry believes in protecting the most vulnerable in society, and who is more vulnerable than an unborn child? Our value as human beings in the eyes of Our Creator is not diminished by any circumstance.
Not every child is born into ideal circumstances, but every life is sacred. Rick Perry knows this – it is at the core of his being.
Will you join me in supporting a true conservative for governor – Rick Perry? We need Texas’ diverse and strong economy to help pull us out of our economic troubles. That requires a proven CEO as the head of state government. Rick Perry is proven and principled. And we need that in the governor of our nation’s second largest state and most prosperous economy.
Sincerely,
Sarah Palin
