US Congressional candidate, district 6, Frank Kuchar, visited with us after our immigration forum in Corsicana. After everyone left, we pulled up two chairs, sat down, and talked about his race. Running against 28 year Republican incumbent, Joe Barton, Kuchar understands he’s running against a giant. It’s the typical challenge, the unfunded Constitutionalist versus the well-funded “Establishment” incumbent.
Are ideas strong enough to unseat a veteran U.S. Congressman? Are the constituents in Congressional District 6 happy with their current representative? Lots of people are deciding to get involved in politics because they feel things are spinning out of control. They’ve been busy working and supporting their families, living under the assumption that our government is under control. No longer able to sit on the sidelines and watch the country go down the tubes, they decide to stand up and fight.
They decide to run for office, to represent the common man, and carry the torch for the defense of our Constitution. Some have become successful in business, and others are employed at those businesses. But, as our Constitution allows, and as our Founding Fathers intended, any person, of certain qualifications, (Age, Citizenship) could be elected to represent the constituents.
And that is exactly what Frank Kuchar is doing. He’s exercising his right to run for office and represent the people. Will he stand a chance against the mountain of fundraising and political connections attributed to Barton’s 28 years in office? Or are the people searching for an option?
May 14th is just around the corner, and early voting will tell the tale. We’ll soon find out whether a passionate conservative candidate, a self-proclaimed constitutionalist, resonates with the voters. Or we’ll discover that the district wants to keep things as they are.
We enjoyed our visit with Frank, and were happy to capture his thoughts and ideas for what the district needs. For more information, or to get involved in his campaign, please visit his website : http://www.kuchar4ushouse.com
For 2 years now we’ve been working with people in Navarro County who are interested in developing the Hispanic Republican movement. Republican chairman, Frank Steed, has been there every step of the way. We’re making a mark in Navarro County and Hispanic citizens are waking up to the reality around them. They look around and see no improvements. They see young people digressing, and the welfare lines growing.
How do we keep this train from derailing? First, we have to recognize that it’s out of control and heading in the wrong direction. Then we have to slow it down and put it back on a new course. Once we’re on the right track, where education becomes a priority and we hold our schools accountable for teaching our children proper math, science, English and the arts, then we can participate.
We need to go back to basics, where we learn to balance checkbooks, and understand what money is and how to make it. We need to learn hi-tech skills and be prepared to participate and enjoy living in that bright future. We don’t want to look up one day and realize that we waited too long. When the people who think they’re owed something and stand in line for government handouts, outnumber us. Society seems to be breaking down right before our eyes.
Look at the numbers. Look at the population explosion coming to Texas, where Hispanics will be the majority by the year 2020. If we don’t do something serious about educating the people, and preparing for the new industries coming to Texas, then we’ll be left behind. Now is the time to position ourselves for the future. We need to define what that looks like, and how we’ll get there. The Hispanic community is divided. Those with documentation issues or illegal status on one side, and legal residents on the other.
The Republican Party doesn’t need to get caught in the cross hairs between the two sides. The Party does need to create official statements on positions regarding plans on how to resolve our issues. Through the auxiliaries of the Republican Party of Texas, we can have a presence at local events like this one in Navarro County, and represent the Republican Party in a positive light. We get to clear the record and overcome the misconceptions.
This is Rosa Vasquez Nava, the new president of the Hispanic Republican club of Navarro County. Rosa brings new ideas and youthful energy. With 25 years in the area are family friends and business network is perfect to build the club. She wants to be active, and play a role in shaping the future. Keep your eyes on Navarro County, these guys are doing it right.
This was filmed at an immigration forum hosted by GOP is for me and the Hispanic Republican Club of Navarro County. We invited immigration attorney Garry Davis and his assistant to come and talk to anyone who had immigration questions. Garry is a member of our Trusted Attorney Network, and gave an amazing presentation and speech about the current immigration legal situation.
After Rosa spoke she introduced me and I addressed the crowd and spoke about the Republican Party and the need to develop representation and address issues.

We're in trouble.
Decades of Democratic control of our communities has led us to a tipping point in society. The "hand-out" society is growing, and people's dependency on the government increases. Before long, we're like Greece X 100. Imagine the break-down in society. Your worst nightmare coming true.
Yeah, it would be wise to pay attention to politics, before you really lose the voice you think you've already lost.
