We created this Collin County flyer  and this Denton County flyer, listing the choices of NTTP and three other solid conservative groups, as well as a sample ballot.

The TeaApproved candidates are found here

UPDATE: another group has recommendations out there :  A seven member ‘Coalition of Better Government’. We don’t know their seven members are, they have NO web presence this year and we have no clue on how they define ‘Better’ government, nor even how conservative they are.  But they do have a process, so here is their abbreviated writeup , for whatever it’s worth with all the related unknowns.

The Primary elections are coming up and- in much of our area, that is the ONLY place where critical decisions will be made.  The NTTP Vetting team put in hundreds of hours, as did teams of several other fine conservative outfits.  Many voters rely on these assessments, as (unlike some of us) they have real lives to lead   It is time to communicate these assessment to the primary voting public in as many ways as our membership and friends can.

As a first step, we have created a Collin County-specific document, with a sample ballot on one side and the TeaApproval or endorsements of 4 good groups on the other: North Texas Tea Party, Collin County Conservative Republicans, Texans for Fiscal Responsibility and Young Conservatives of  Texas; all groups who take such endorsements quite seriously.  UPDATE:  here is a site to get Heritage Alliance’s  grades on the candidates for your address; another fine organization.

HERE IS A PDF FILE OF THE COLLIN COUNTY RECOMMENDATIONS AND SAMPLE BALLOT (UPDATED):  It prints double-sided on LEGAL paper if you chose to do so.  That is YOUR option (Individually driven campaigning- up to $200 in cost- is perfectly legal.)  Print it, email it, or otherwise disseminate it to your heart’s content.

UPDATE: here is the equivalent PDF for Denton County

Here is the information on early voting in Collin County; vote early, get your friends and family out to vote early- and spread the word on the conservative candidates.  Let’s send the RINOs to the retirement reserves.  This is where the rubber meets the road for the Tea Party principles.

You know that good conservative groups like Texans for Fiscal Responsibility (TFR), Eagle Forum, Heritage Alliance,  Young Conservatives of Texas, and smaller conservative vettors such as ourselves and the Collin County Conservative Republicans are being effective.  For proof of effectiveness, one need to look no further than the amusing attempt for the Austin ‘Powers That Be” to mockup an organization claiming to be similarly conservative, but coming up with RADICALLY different recommendations- all of them confirmed lackeys for the Staus/Dewhurst gang.   That’s what they’ve done, calling it the badly misnamed Texas Conservative Roundtable.

I mean a group that lists Ken Paxton (TFR- A+) and Jodie Laubenberg (TFR- A+) at the bottom of the list, but put people like Rep. Dee Margo (TFR- F) and Rep. Beverly Wollery (TFR- D+) at the top???  (They still LIST Ken and Jodie, because such people left completely OFF a list would be too noticeable.)  The order of the list (by a group whose executive director is a David Dewhurst lackey)  is based solely on loyalty to the ‘Powers That Be’.  The carefully cherry-picked legislation that would sound conservative enough, but represent a PTBL  (Powers That Be Loyalty) Index.

So, if a State House or Senate incumbent touts his ranking on Texas Conservative Roundtable, be sure to hand them some toilet paper to clean their nose  of the brown stuff Joe Strauss and David Dewhurst must have left behind on them.

UPDATE: As suspected, the Texas Conservative Roundtable is a complete Straus front, one very poorly and ineptly disguised. Agendawise peels back the thin layers here.

And speaking of David Dewhurst and ‘grassroots’ support, the latest financial numbers that were released speak volumes as to the difference of the support base of David Dewhurst and Ted Cruz:

Meaning?   Dewhurst- all the money lobbyists can provide; Cruz- extensive grassroots support.

The NTTP Vetting Committee has completed as much of the TeaApproval process as we felt we could do appropriately and still leave time for the activists on the committee to get involved in the campaigns themselves.  We have focused on legislative offices, along with key offices in Collin County itself,  It is not that the other offices are not important as well, but these were the ones that most affect the governmental policies we all must live under and how those policies are ultimately implemented. )  The full list of TeaApproval can be found here.

.  Here is the final group:

Texas State House District 70	Bracy Wislon
Texas State House District 115	Matt Rinaldi
Collin County Commissioner, District 3	Chris Hill
380th District Court Collin County	Ben Smith
