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.

Count me in. We certainly need some responsibility in our political system. Dan's actions are the perfect example of why most good people stay out of the political arena.
The "All's fair in politics" idea is very harmful to our American Way of Life. We need a mechanism to hold bullies, liars, and vengeful people accountable.
