See below the letter of introduction and recommendation I left on doors and handed out to voters as I bicycled my precinct.
***********************************************************************
Hello, I am Joel Downs, the Precinct Chairman for Precinct 3213. If you are reading this letter you live in Precinct 3213. As Precinct Chairman I am trying to get acquainted with the Republicans in the precinct who vote in the primaries. I've looked at the voting records and identified you as one of these people. Hope you don't mind.
The events of the past three years have caused me great concern. Concern about the future of our country. For the first time in my life, I am beginning to doubt that the USA will remain a free country. The American culture seems to be changing to one of unrealistic entitlement, and complete self absorption. A significant proportion of college graduates actually expect to be given a job at the highest rate, no matter their real qualifications, just because they have a college degree. I could go on and on but I think you get the idea.
Anyway, I hope to become acquainted with you, and if you want to become politically active, I will help you in any way I can. Because the only way, I believe, this country can be saved, is by vigorous, conservative action from the Grassroots. It begins here with people like you and me, we must begin this task.
In this sack you will find a flyer listing all of the early voting locations in the county. I am doing this to encourage you to vote early because it is so much easier than voting on election day. It is also more convenient. Some of these locations are probably on your way home from work. The only downside is that you have to vote electronically. If you prefer paper ballots, you will have to wait till election day.
The candidates in positions listed below are the ones that I will be voting for in the Republican primary. I have listed only a small part of the reasons I'm voting for them. I'm not telling you who to vote for, just letting you know who I'm for and hope you agree.
If you want to put a Republican candidate's sign in your yard, I can get it for you. Thanks, Joel Downs, 817-308-9878
Kenny Marchant, Congressional Representative District 24. Marchant is a respected member of the House of Representatives with a good rapport and influence. I think he should remain in place.
Ted Cruz, Congressional Senator or from Texas. I have seen Cruz speak, and I know his record. Ted Cruz is a principled conservative, and well spoken. He will be a positive conservative influence in the Senate. Cruz also has the best chance of any of the candidates of knocking off David Dewhurst. The troubling thing about Dewhurst is that he called for a constitutional convention and doesn't appear to realize the mistake he was making. The last time a constitutional convention was called, the entire Constitution was rewritten. Granted, Dewhurst called for the convention in order to add a balanced budget amendment, but you don't go to these extreme measures, risk the disruption of the Constitution just to balance the budget. If the Constitution is to be changed, let's do it by amendment. I am amazed that Dewhurst is this ignorant of history. He should not be serving in the United States Senate.
Kelly Hancock, State Senate District 9. Hancock is the more conservative of the candidates running for this office. He is not as well spoken as Todd Smith, but remember Todd makes his living by speaking, he is a lawyer. As Senator, Kelly Hancock will author, sponsor, and to pass more conservative legislation. He will make decisions that are more founded in conservatism.
Jonathan Stickland, State Representative District 92. Stickland is a movement conservative, not interested in allowing a slow slide into socialism. He will continue the trend towards more conservative legislation coming out the Texas Legislature.
Gary Fickes, Tarrant County Commissioner Precinct 3. Fickes has been a Commissioner for several terms, he has performed well, and knows a lot about the job, especially the roads. The commissioners court is a big influence on how many, where, and how large the state roads built in Tarrant County will be. Fickes has a huge amount of institutional knowledge about this subject, and he makes good decisions. The commissioners court appoints the board members of the Tarrant County health system. Gary Fickes, in concert with other commissioners has always made sure that the board members enact policies that are sound, and do not give away the store to illegal aliens, unlike other large Texas counties. For this reason, the Tarrant County health system budget has always been balanced, and some years has had a surplus. Gary Fickes should be reelected.
Jennifer Hall, County Chair, Tarrant County Republican Party. Hall was elected temporary County chair when Stephanie Klick resigned to run for higher office. She hit the ground running and has performed very well in that position, raising thousands of dollars in donations, and presiding over the court induced chaos that has been the 2012 primary season. Jennifer Hall has had no previous experience as a County chair, but she has performed remarkably well and will be a huge asset in the years to come.
Jason McCaffity, Constable Precinct 3. McCaffity has been a Texas peace officer for 14 years, he has a Masters degree in Business Administration, a Bachelors degree in Law Enforcement Administration, a Masters Peace Officer Certification, and is a graduate of the Police Management College. As Constable, he will continue to improve the Precinct 3 Constable department.
Kevin Carey, Judge 153rd District Court, . A County District Judge is on the first level of the people we select to make and/or enforce the rules for us. Kevin Carey is a lifelong Republican and conservative with 22 years experience as a litigator. He will make wise, fair and conservative decisions in his court. He understands the danger of frivolous lawsuits and will make decisions accordingly.
