As an ordinary American I have become increasingly concerned with the dramatic expansion of the Federal Government and its increasing involvement in every aspect of our lives. This concern has led me to become active in the 912 Project and Tea Party constitutional grassroots movement.It has become obvious that the voice of the people has been lost. It is not enough to write letters, send emails and make phone calls. Equally so, our rallies and protests are ignored or demeaned by the mainstream media. Consequently, I choose to exercise my prerogative as an ordinary citizen to enter the political arena to aid in returning government back to the people and having our voices heard once again.
Although I had been focused on problems at the Federal level, I realized how a strong State Government can remedy many of these problems. Austin has many of the same problems of DC; pushing the same progressive agenda that threatens to undermine the constitutional fundamentals needed to ensure our liberty and prosperity. We must be relentless in replacing the career politicians who have failed the citizens of Texas. Grassroots candidates such as I, true to their principles and values, true to the Constitution of the United States, and true to the independent spirit of Texas will be the people's remedy.
She goes on to admit she will be underfunded in comparison to Republican incumbent John Davis (the person she is surely referring to as a "career politician"). She's right, although according to a Texans for Public Justice report on campaign spending that just came out today, Davis only has $26,801 cash on hand. When he has to fundraise, he's proven he can do it as evidenced by the $497,775 he raised in 2008 fighting off John Keeney in the Republican Primary and Democrat Sherrie Matula in the General Election. It's interesting to note that he spent $571,418 combined on both races, and that Keeney and Matula combined spent $408,081 (about $350,000 of that raised and spent by Matula.)
Davis got 64% of the vote in the Primary election and 59% in the General. I rank Hul's chances as slim to none, but she will cause Davis to have to step up and fundraise and run a Primary campaign if he wants to pursue a seventh term.
I'm sure John will have more to say about this later. Wanna bet Hul is referring to John when she plays the victim with, "our rallies and protests are ignored or demeaned by the mainstream media." Perhaps she is referring to this video that was aired on MSNBC's Countdown to the tune of Doe, A Deer?

Mary doesn't have a chance in hell. Davis is entrenched. He aint worth much in Austin, but he is entrenched.
And when he decides to leave, he will have a real nice retirement package of about $30,000/year.
More than any teabagger will probably get.
Her qualifications for office are somewhat underwhelming.
But she is a teabagger.
Her website sucks. Real bad.
"Austin has many of the same problems of DC; pushing the same progressive agenda that threatens to undermine the constitutional fundamentals needed to ensure our liberty and prosperity."
REALLY?? Name ONE progressive item the Texas Legislature pushed through?
"REALLY?? Name ONE progressive item the Texas Legislature pushed through?"
The business tax is one. The expansion of the State Children's Health Insurance Program is another. Plus about $10 billion in new spending for this biennium compared to the last, primarily in education and health care.
The business tax was a republican idea. It was passed by the republicans.
Uh....the additional funding for CHIP was championed by John Davis.
The budget was crafted by the republicans.
"Uh....the additional funding for CHIP was championed by John Davis."
Thanks for acknowledging that.
Looks like Republicans are pretty good about taking care of children's healthcare, huh?
oh yee with no memory.
It was the republicans who got hammered for attempting to privatize chip. Davis championed that. He then came back and tried to fix it. Tried, is the important word here.
In the end it was about a $500 million mistake.
stupid republicans.
Must be some kind'a nanotechnology goin' on if somebody thinks they can wedge in to the right of John Davis.
It never ceases to amaze me that those of you on the left can't debate the actual issues but instead have to resort to treating conservatives insolently with such contemptuous rudeness.
Why do you find it necessary to be so pompously ostentatious toward Ms. Huls? Do even you possess the intelligence to defend your bombastic and turgid bloviating regarding Ms. Huls "playing the victim"?
Mr. Coby, I dare you to publish this reply. Or do you only print replies that your fellow bagless dolts submit because they agree with you?

That's the problem with establishment GOP and left wingers, they just don't see how citizen activists can take out the entrenched power players like Davis, who btw, lied about a balanced budget.
Mary may not win, she may not have the same money but she has more integrity in her little finger than John Davis has in his custom made texas seal boots.
