Endorsements
John Jay Myers, US Congress
I am pleased to endorse John Jay Myers for US Congress in TX Congressional District 32. Mr. Myers promises to follow one rule if elected to serve in Congress: Restore individual liberty by following the Constitution. He will also work hard to repeal unconstitutional laws and abolish unconstitutional agencies. He strongly believes in States’ rights and the protection of individual rights.
As a Republican Precinct Chair, people have asked me why I am not supporting the party’s nominee and incumbent, Pete Sessions.
Here are just a few reasons why:
1. Sessions voted for the 2008 Wall Street Bailout – twice.
2. Sessions voted for the Patriot Act – twice.
3. Sessions voted for foreign aid – numerous times.
4. Sessions voted for the second largest expansion of government healthcare
When deciding on an endorsement, I always vote based upon principle not party.

“Who should I vote for?”Deciding on who to vote for can be a difficult and daunting process due to all the marketing hype and negative attacks during political campaigns. It’s tempting to get focused on one issue or another and lose sight of the bigger picture: principle.
A weak leader is someone who looks at an issue and works backwards in trying to figure out a solution. They will probably see what’s popular with other leaders, special interest groups or even take a public opinion poll, then adopt that stance as their own. The weak leader often uses the phrase “for the greater good” as their justification for violating the rights of the individual. The weak leader’s stances change often, thus causing a voting record that is inconsistent and not representative of their campaign promises. This type of leader may be forced to make apologies while in office because of poor judgment and a lack of principle.
During campaign time, the weak leader will often cite their past accomplishments as a reason for why they should get elected. The weak leader will also hide behind labels such as party affiliation and/or celebrity endorsements in order to sway uniformed voters to cast their vote based upon meaningless labels or someone else’s popularity. It’s important to look beyond past accomplishments or party affiliations and qualify a candidate based upon their guiding principles.
A strong leader is someone who looks at an issue and makes a decision based upon their guiding principles. These principles are steadfast and unchangeable – regardless of the positions that other leaders or special interest groups have taken. The strong leader believes that every person is created equal and thus works to protect the rights of the individual – not the whims and desires of a group people.
