State Rep. Wayne Christian (Center, TX, in East TX) is chairman of the Republican Party of Texas Platform Committee Chairman. Ben Sttreusand, AFP-TX Advisory Chairman, is interviewing Chrmn Christian.
"We have awakened citizens of Texas" said Christian. He is also president of the TX legislattive caucus Texas Conservative Coalition. Christian explained how this coalition is the only conservaitve caucus and the requirements for legislators to be a member, holding legislators accountable.
They are now the largest caucus next to the party caucus.
Rep. Christian is the first legislator to head the platform committee "If you want to make an ass out of yourself, there is another party that has that as their mascot."
The Platform Committee finished a day early and he talked about the significant changes they have made which the RPT Convention will vote on.
He stressed the accountability they are requiring for Republican officials -- and that this is the FIRST time the platform will be significant to all Republican candidates and officeholders.
The biblls will be introduced and there will be a scorecard for Legislators and voters know how they upheld the platform. Cathie Adams was BOLD to allow the Platform Committee to do this.
How aboutthe Speakers race? now the voters will know what is happening, and it will not be done behind closed doors (thanks to Cahtie Adams and Kelly Shackelford) -- the more open we can have it the better!
Will here be a race? "I hope so" says Christian. I've been with Peggy Venable at many of the tea parties -- and many had the attitude "throw the bums out" but now we have given us one more time to follow thru on our conservative principles. I have driven 5,000 miles bringing legislators and citizens together, zigzagging the state saying peole want to take over Congress, and in the same election we can determine our largest Congressional delegation in TX as the state elgislature will do the redistricting...we MUST connect the sat house with Washington, DC.
In November, we have a chance to make a difference for the future of our nation. Sign our November is Coming petition now - www.NovemberIsComing.com.
