Background: Governor Perry called a special session of the Texas legislature, after the regular session ended recently with no progress on restoring Open Carry to Texas. Perry has decided to not allow Open Carry bills to be accepted into this special session. Apparently he feels they are already "too busy". Therefore, I have no other alternative than to plan for the following. I am already getting excellent support and have a campaign manager and many behind the plan. We already have experience in petition gathering.
Because Texas continues to infringe the peoples' right:
I WILL RUN AGAINST PERRY, ON A SINGLE PLATFORM TO PROTECT AND RESTORE THE PEOPLES' 2nd AMENDMENT RIGHT
I will run against Perry for Governor of Texas on a single platform. Governor Perry is obviously "too busy" to protect and restore the most basic and fundamental of rights of Texans - that being the peoples' 2nd Amendment right to keep and bear arms. We can see this in the fact for that for over 12 years as governor of the state, he has refused to fulfill the primary duty of his office, having aided in the usurpation (stealing power which is not yours) of the peoples' right to carry firearms as the 2nd Amendment of the Constitution so clearly declares and protects.
So, therefore, in addition to my federal lawsuit against Perry for this massive infringement upon "We, the People", I will also campaign for governor, against him, with a single message. This single message, this platform, is this: "To protect the right of the people of Texas, by restoring their ability to possess and carry firearms within the state ANYWHERE, and WITHOUT PERMIT." Texas and Texans need to be the leader here in America on 2nd Amendment rights, and it starts with Open Carry without permit nor fee.
If, while running, any other questions are asked of me regarding any other political topics, my reply will always be the same: "While I agree that ________ is an important issue, and while I have strong opinions (for/against) this issue, I will continue to fight for the most basic and fundamental of rights that Texans have - yet which at this very moment are being denied them - that being the right to freely possess and carry firearms within the state, without permit and without fee."
I will let it be known, throughout my campaign against Perry, that if it were possible, I do not wish to be Governor of the State of Texas - but that I am forced to run against Governor Perry because he continues to supress the 2nd Amendment rights of Texans. But this massive infringement, and the massive stealing of the peoples' authority and power can no longer stand.
Unless Governor Perry pledges to:
1) apologize to the people of Texas for having neglected, supressed, and infringed upon their most basic of rights - that being the right to carry firearms - and apologizes for having usurped authority not his in doing so, (note: a simple apology for not having taken care of this before will work)
AND
2) pledges to the people of Texas that his first item of business as newly re-elected governor of the state will be the restoration of true 2nd Amendment rights for the people - including the ability to possess and carry firearms without fee nor permit
THEN, I will continue to run against Governor Perry to defeat him in the gubenatorial election of Texas, and to restore - as my first item of business as governor - the right of the people of Texas to freely possess and carry firearms without fee nor permit.
