Democracy Trumped Politics As Usual

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) December 16, 2009 --

The values that guide my life today were instilled during my 28 years in the military. First, I learned that we serve God and Country. I, like most of us who served did this voluntarily. I served to protect and defend everyone's right to do exactly what I am doing right now, participate in the democratic process. I would never deny anyone this constitutional right and would encourage everyone to participate. I hope that everyone who visits my Website is as outraged as I am at the suggestion that all candidates step aside to allow a clear slate for the chosen candidate. Words cannot express the disgust that I feel. What is even more disgusting is that responsible people, those who consider themselves leaders put the mandate of the party above the needs of the people they represent. This is politics as usual.

I cannot express how offensive I find the allusion that the only reason that I am running is because I am Hispanic. I heard these same snide remarks in the military because I was achieving rank which few minorities attained. I had a record of accomplishment in the military as I have a record of accomplishment today. That is why I was promoted in the military and that is what I carry into the campaign, a lifetime of accomplishment. I am running because I know I can do better, and I just happen to be Hispanic.

I need your support to bring needed change to Texas. Together, I am confident that we can have victory in November.
