I never got the call so I was not able to participate; even though I pre-registered over a week ago. Thanks for letting me know what I missed. I linked to it.
My wife is a Texan and I will just warn you, Gov. Perry is a bit of a RINO. Gov. Sanford is a leader. He has been leading on fiscal issues for years. I think he approached this as a listening session for him. Hard to say without being on the call. Also, us Southerners tend to come across as unassuming sometimes.
DR, Thanks for your comments. Sorry you missed the call, it was in some ways a breath of fresh air again. Thanks also for the information on Perry and Sanford.
I don't know a lot yet on Perry and so far what I learned about Sanford was from your blog.
It's still early and we have to start somewhere. If Perry is another Bush from Texas, well, there you go. I like Sanford a lot but am looking for a leader not a consensus , tell me what you want kind of guy, which he seemed to say a lot last night.
I know we'll talk about all this more in the future. Thanks again and keep up your GREAT work.
I missed the call, too, probably my fault.
I agree about wanting particular issue action. I want to be able to KNOW what to do and for what purpose and when and how. We need to get on the same page here, so I can urge my group to participate also.
Our Sen. Vitter has had a conference call with Tea PArty organizers in LA...sounds similar, but we need to know what to do, or we'll be fruitless. Helen
Anonymous, thanks for the comments.
All good points. We need direction to make things happen. Keep me informed and have a GREAT weekend.
