Is Dirty Politics Good for America?
I have been told recently that "dirty politics" is just part of the "American Way" and is perfectly normal. I personally believe that deception, and dirty tricks are not good for our country. Why would an honorable, upright man volunteer to have himself and and his family dragged through the mud. Lied about. Attacked. Is this the best system to pick our rulers? I think not. Our system, where "dirty politics" is business as usual, is desperately broken, and we need to fix it. We need to bring "Honorable Leadership" back to Texas and America!

Why Dan Patrick is not an Honorable Leader
Using the Three Principles of Honorable Leadership, we can deduce that Sen. Dan Patrick is not an honorable leader.
He has violated Principle 1 by working tirelessly to have the Hon. Corbin Van Arsdale defeated. Representative Van Arsdale's offense? Endorsing Joe Nixon for Senate in the District 7 race in 2006.
He has violated Principle 2 by trying to build a political machine in Texas, instead of letting Democracy work its way.
Dan Patrick has violated Principle 3 by constantly blackmailing and threatening other statesmen.
Alexander Hamilton said in Federalist no. 9, "If a single member should attempt to usurp the supreme authority, he could not be supposed to have an equal authority... Were he to subdue a part, that which would still remain free might oppose him with forces independent of of those which he had usurped, and overpower him before he could be settled in his usurpation."
Dan Patrick, that part "which still might remain free" is here to "overpower [you] before [you] can become settled in [your] usurpation". Texans, stop corrupt, power-hungry politicians! Join Texans for Honorable Leadership to bring a higher moral tone to politics!

The Three Principles of Honorable Leadership
We have established "The Three Principles of Honorable Leadership" to use when examining a candidate to see if he is an honorable leader.
Honorable Leaders MUST:
Honorable Leaders MUST:
- Put what is best for Texas above personal or political gain.
- Do what the state needs, not what lobbyists or other political powers want.
- Lead by example and persuasion, not by threats and political punishment.

Texans Want a Change in Leadership!
Fellow Texans,
In the past day, the amount of visits to this website has been multiplied by 9. This should show us, and Senator Dan Patrick something: Texans are ready for a change in leadership styles!

Texans for Honorable Leadership is Founded
Fellow Texans,
I have recently learned that Texas State Senator Dan Patrick was involved in the defeat of the Honorable Representative Corbin Van Arsdale. I have no problem with defeating liberal Republicans, my problem is that Rep. Arsdale is a strong conservative, endorsed by groups such as the Texas State Rifle Association, the NRA, the Texas Alliance for Life, Texas Right to Life, Texans for Fiscal Responsibility, and the Texas Homeschool Coalition. So what was Rep. Arsdale's offense? He endorsed a House colleague (Joe Nixon) over Dan Patrick in 2006, for the open District 7 State Senate Seat. Now, 2 years later, Dan Patrick is continuing his private war with Van Arsdale by making sure he was unseated. There are also reports that he threatened Rep. Patricia Harless with a similar fate if she tried to help Rep. Arsdale survive this coup.
In response I, Joshua Hebert, am hereby founding Texans for Honorable Leadership. THL will fight to restore civility in politics, and stop political bullies from defeating conservative incumbent Republicans.
