There’s a headline for ya. In fairness, it should say “My Perception Of Bill Flores Was Wrong,” but that doesn’t roll off the tongue so easily.

I cannot explain to the full extent how wrong I was or why I think I was wrong in one short blog post…and a long one would make you lose interest and take away an opportunity for me to have you come back for more over the course of a few days.

So, let me set this up, and then invite you to return here as I unwind this story.

I have the good fortune and blessing to be friends with (more…)

So Bill Flores Tweets on July 22^nd the following:

This was an auto-Tweet from this status update on Flores’ official campaign Facebook Page. The incumbent discussion shows that Flores supporters are completely unaware that their man is speaking as a (more…)

Following this developing story…

Full disclosure requires you know that Angela and I have more than once locked horns over stances she had taken concerning a particular candidate during the congressional primary I felt violated the Tea Party rule of not endorsing a candidate.

I have spoken with a member of the leadership team of the now defunct Burleson Tea Party on the condition they remain anonymous to confirm this story.  That Angela has resigned and the Burleson Tea Party is dissolving is true.  The “hostile takeover” referred to is not.  By agreement of all parties, the Burleson Tea Party is disbanding.  The reasoning for disbanding is what we are attempting to discover.

Angela Cox is a passionate person, strong willed and full of resolve.  She will continue to be a voice in Johnson County and the northern portion of TX CD 17.

The Tea Party movement is the most important part of this current election cycle.  People who desire to be powerful and important will do many strange things to accomplish their personal goals and if the wrong person/persons gain control, the movement is doomed to fail.  The Tea Party groups in Johnson County must become major players for conservatives in our Congressional race and then join with other like minded groups and become the driving force for the 2012 elections that must change the direction our Nation is headed.  We will be watching closely as this story develops over the next few weeks.

DEVELOPING…

…On Wednesday, 7 July 2010, very early in the morning, Angela Cox, Founder of the Burleson (TX) Tea Party released the following communiqué via email:

Angela Cox Resignation

American Writes received a copy of this email from an anonymous source. We believe that it was sent to the membership of the Burleson Tea Party.

…knowing there had been a rift in the organization for some time, American Writes Staff began contacting individuals intimate with the situation and history of the organization, from the general membership to the highest (more…)

There’s the Nuclear Football. The Political Football.

And then there’s natural born killer of many an unsuspecting soul: Texas Football.

The missed opportunities and fumbles from Bill Flores are becoming blatant. And when a team of rookies like that is up against a seasoned veteran squad like Chet Edwards’, you have to wonder if Flores will ever get the ball – or even recognize what game is being played on the field.

Right now, I’m not sure Flores even knows where the field is.

Let’s consider last week’s hot topic: The breakup of (more…)

Write-Ins will remember that I mentioned that receiving the endorsement of the Bryan-College Station Eagle is the kiss of death because The Eagle is not conservative in any sense of the word. With its avid support of Planned Parenthood and its fawning over Chet Edwards, you can count on it not being reliable in terms of representing the community it portends to serve.

You’ll also remember that Chuck Wilson received the endorsement of The Eagle, which I commented upon extensively, in his bid for the Texas District 17 race for Congress.

Chuck Wilson did not make the cut for the runoff, losing (more…)

What do Steve Ogden and Bill Flores have in common, aside from being candidates for office and from the oil industry?

I think they share a common denominator in that it feels like they think we, the voters, are either ignorant or just plain stupid.

I come to this after hearing their Radio commercials. One of the disadvantages of spending so much money (more…)

Below is the complete text of the press release from the Curnock campaign regarding the claims of an individual seeking back pay from Curnock’s 2008 congressional campaign.

I publish press releases in their entirety as a means of getting to you the full, unedited copy. Since I do not have space or editorial limitations other media have, I think you should have as much information as the media is provided.

My thought on this is that it’s just a final hour hit job. If this had been an issue, the timing could have been less conspicuous.

First, if you are owed money (more…)

American Write-Ins will remember that I asked each campaign for interview time. Please check that post if you haven’t seen it yet.

This post is the result of those interviews.

I contacted each campaign, and have email receipts that each campaign did receive the request. Four campaigns responded, and two granted the interview. (more…)

I am submitting my resignation to The Examiner. My reasons are multiple: (more…)
