Dewhurst and Cruz Neck and Neck in Texas Senate Race
These results are from a poll which was conducted through automated phone calls and direct email solicitations of 4372 Republican voters in the state of Texas of whom 844 responded to the poll. 56% of the responses came from direct email contacts and 44% from telephone responses. The pool consisted of active party members identified by association with clubs, groups and party organizations and voters who were identified from voter rolls as having voted Republican in 2008 and 2010. They were geographically distributed over most of the state, with clusters in Tarrant, Denton, Comal, Harris, Hays, Travis, Blanco, Collin, Llano and Montgomery Counties. The results of other questions also included in this poll will be released separately.
Poll Date: 10/12-10/17, 2011

Poll Sample: 844 Republican voters in Texas
Margin of Error: +/- 3%

Tom Leppert 8%
Lela Pittenger 5%
Elizabeth Ames Jones 4%
Glenn Addison 3%
Andre Castanuela 1%
Curtis Cleaver 0%
Undecided 14%
The exact spread between the two frontrunners is less than 1% (.59%). The number of undecideds (including no response entries) remains very high, but is not enough to give either leading candidate a clear majority, suggesting the likelihood, at this early date, of a run-off.
Other data from this poll is being released separately this week.

San Antonio Tea Party
We have all seen David Do-Wurst in action in the 82nd Legislature. Can Texas really afford to send someone with absolutely no backbone or strength of conviction to Washington DC as a representatvie of We the People??
Club for Growth is 100% behind Ted Cruz and asking patriots to donate to his and 3 other outstanding R. candidate campaigns for the US Senate. Let’s pitch in and do our part here. A review of this outstanding candidate on Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ted_Cruz
In an interview –Ted Cruz says:
” On the question of illegal immigration I think we should stand firm and stand tall. I am strongly opposed to illegal immigration. I come to it from the perspective as someone who has been in law enforcement most of my adult life. I think particularly in a post 9-11 world we have to enforce the border. It makes no sense that we don’t know who is crossing our border. We don’t know their background. We don’t know their criminal history. Any nation as a matter of national sovereignty secures its border.”
Has Dewhurst ever said he was against illegal immigration and our Mexican border should be secured?
Well, thank heavens we have a chance to get a REAL conservative in this seat, and I don’t mean David Dewhurst who is just more of the same old Rinos!!
Lets go Ted Cruz, beating establishment candidate Dewhurst!
