Delegate Deception

I was recently chosen to be a State Delegate, for the great State of Texas.  I remember watching the 1972 Republican Convention with my Mom.  I was fascinated by the Delegates.  I wanted to know who these people were, and, how they were chosen.  My Mom explained it all to me.  She said, the Delegates represent the voice of THE PEOPLE.  Over the years, my Mom and I had great political discussions.  She was a staunch Republican and an avid Rush listener.  We had a special bond over our political passions.  My Mom passed away  July 13, 2014.

After the passing of my Mom, and with the upcoming 2016 Presidential election on the horizon, I decided to attempt to become a Delegate.  I began doing research on how one becomes a Texas Delegate.  You would think this would require only a simple Google and all the answers would be at your finger tips.  Well, that is not at all the case.  The Delegate selection process is not widely known or understood.  I called my county voter registration office only to be told all Delegates had already been selected.  This occurred in December 2015.  I was fairly certain that could not be the case, but I believed the voter registration officer would be far more educated on the topic than myself.

I had all but given up on my dream of being a Delegate when I received an email from the Trump campaign outlining the process of how to become a Delegate.  I was so excited to have an actual map of how to accomplish my goal.  I followed each step, and sure enough, I was elected to become a Texas State Delegate.  I was incredibly proud.  I knew how much this would have meant to my Mom.  My excitement about representing THE PEOPLE of my state could not have been stronger.

That brings us to today.  I am learning that not all Delegates believe they represent THE PEOPLE.  I am learning that many believe they are there to fulfill their own agenda or that of the Republican Party. These are not just YOUR Delegates, but they are in fact some of YOUR leaders in the Republican Party.

In my district, Donald Trump won 1 of the 3 Delegates.  You can see for yourself from the snapshots below taken from a FaceBook  group just how YOUR Delegates are plotting to prevent Mr. Trump from actually receiving his earned Delegates.  He earned those Delegates through the voting process.  To deny him his Delegates, is to deny the VOTER a voice.

I am writing this blog not as a Trump supporter, but as an American voter. I believe it is our right and our duty to vote.  I believe YOUR vote should be respected and not be discarded so as to fulfill the personal agenda of a Delegate, or the political agenda of a Party.   So today, after much consideration, I  am sharing with you some of the comments made by YOUR Texas Delegates.  These are only the first 5 posts that were brought to my attention.  I have many many more.  I share these to inform, not to attack.  As it should be, YOU be the judge!
