Latest Disclosures Show Cruz Outraising Dewhurst Again
Former Texas Solicitor General Ted Cruz raised an impressive $523,000 in the first 11 days of July for his U.S. Senate campaign, more than triple the haul that Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst reported for the same period, new disclosures show.
Cruz has also slipped past Dewhurst in the total amount of contributions (excluding any self-funding) since both men began reporting their contributions to the Federal Election Commission. Cruz has raised a net $7.92 million, compared with $7.78 million for Dewhurst, giving him a $136,270 advantage in that category as of the end of the last ...

It should not cost that much to run for any office. What do you have to do for that kind of money.

TEA party extremes use the (R) instead of the (T) when running for office. TEA party extremes say they believe in limited government, but push or allow government imposed Sonogram/Ultrasound on women. TEA party extremes say they believe in Free speech, but interrupt loudly at any meeting and have disrupted meetings in the past. TEA party extremes say they believe in the 2nd amendment while taking loaded guns openly displayed to gatherings. TEA party extremes say they believe in our military, but offer nor retort to people like Jim DeMint of South Carolina, who put a hold on legislation was to be voted on for medical help or assistance to women and children as well as military personnel of Marine Base Camp Lejeune which had their water system contaminated. TEA party extremes say they believe in secure borders and support extremist like the governor and legislature of Arizona who stepped across the line on immigrant legislation issues. TEA party extremes say they believe in our country, but without regard to freedoms of others. TEA party extremes say they believe in restricting voter rights going against federal laws. TEA party extremes say they believe Muslims should have no rights in America and have been totally critical of those who do. TEA party extremes say they believe in free speech but would disallow Mosques built in America.

Here is Terri H. Green, candidate for 380th District Judge, drinking it up in Hawaii, on Fay Hohmann's dime!
It is pretty easy to see how Terri Green's "legal work" here at the Honolulu Sunset Rotary Club benefited her client, an 85 year old, widowed, incapacitated, elderly, little old lady with Alzheimers trying to cling to every dime to make her last few years of life safe and comfortable. On February 29, 2012, Judge Weldon Copeland "ORDERED, ADJUDGED AND DECREED [Terri Green's] fees and expenses shall be taxed as costs [to Fay Louise Hohmann's Estate]...and Terri H. Green shall be paid the total sum of $9,684.53 from [Fay Hohmann's] funds held in the Registry of the Court."
A free phone call to Hawaii would have worked too.
In addition, Terri H. Green HIRED a law firm and an attorney in Hawaii to actually do the legal work there; legal fees charged by Charles O'Neil, Esq., submitted to and approved by Judge Weldon Copeland were over $10,580!
Charles O'Neil, Esq.'s name appears on Terri Green's list of supporters! I guess my mother paid over $20K for that endorsement of Terri Green. What a shame...
Why are people trying to reward unethical, corrupt and immoral attorneys with positions on the judicial bench!

You can't sell the Kool-Aid drinkers short. Yesterday I got four harassing call from one GOP candidate. Then the sign in front of my house was taken down. Then I found a note on my door that "someone" dropped by to DISCUSS MY NEED FOR BURIAL INSURANCE.
My wife is terrified.
