Dewhurts accepted the endorsement of Oops Perry who has called Texans "Heartless",had his wife Anita call Texans "Not Christian" and this week called Sarah Palin ignorant outsider that does not know Texas politics.Therefore I call for a boycott of the speeches of Oops Perry,Dewhurt and Joe Straus at the convention.I call for a boycott of the gala or any party hosted by the three stooges named above.Thursday night " Wildcat party" gala at Billy Bobs.Friday Night "Wildcat Party" at Arlington Red River.If you are a woman wearing a Ted Cruz or Gregg Abbott bumper sticker you get one dance with a Wildcat delegate.Men wear cowboy hats with sticker affixed and boots made in Texas.Respectfully:John McIntyre 1984 Reagan delegate,2012 Bachman delegate.ps.dallas voice,LGBTT's oppose Ted Cruz for USSenate.
