With the recent ruling that allows the Green Party on the Nov. 2 ballot, its candidates for Dallas County races are getting The Ellis County Observer's scrutiny:
--If Joy Vidheecharoen-Glatz filed for Justice of the Peace Precinct 3 in Dallas County, she'll be tossed off the ballot I"m sure since there are additional "places" in Precinct 3. So it would be something like, Precinct 3, Place 1, etc.
--I don't see how there will be any way the Dallas County surveyor candidate (Jeffery Glatz) will be listed on the ballot for a position that does not exist -- unless I'm mistaken and there's a Constitutional amendment somewhere that abolished the position.
--The Greens will make the race for county clerk (Esther Choi) a four-way contest that already features a Republican, an incumbent Democrat and a Libertarian. This race could actually give the Republican the win if the Green and Libertarian votes pull enough away from the incumbent.
It's likely that the Greens' Texas Comptroller candidate will secure enough votes and a big enough voting percentage to give the fourth-party automatic ballot access in 2012, at which point that would open Ellis County's Green Party contact (shhh, no one is supposed to know that yet) to field and recruit candidates.

378th District Court | Ron Wilkinson vs. Dan Gus?
I received some surprising information from a few legal sources in Waxahachie who say that the appointment race to replace the moving-up-the-ladder Judge Al Scoggins, R-Ennis, is squarely between former Waxahachie Mayor Ron Wilkinson, who recently finished third in the 40th District Court primary, and Dan Gus, who recently finished fourth and who now serves on the Ellis County Republican Executive Committee.
Because Scoggins ran for, and got nominated to, the Tenth Court of Appeals bench in Waco on March 2 (defeating incumbent Felipe Reyna, R-Waco), he will leave a vacancy in the 378th District Court seat, which is primarily the divorce/family district court. Good riddance to Scoggins on Jan. 1, 2011, but hello to the excitement that will be the energy behind who Gov. Rick Perry (should he survive a Nov. 2 re-election challenge this fall) will choose to replace Scoggins and thus fill the remainder of his term.
Gus is a high-profile lawyer from Red Oak who works in Dallas, and Wilkinson is a liberal Republican with age working against him. He's reportedly in his 70s, and that's awfully old to be filling a district court seat. The 378th was created by George W. Bush's pen in 1995, at which Scoggins was then appointed, where he has served (unopposed) ever since.
Dan Gus is the reason we will no longer have 40th District Court Judge Gene Knize, R-Ennis, swearing an oath on Jan. 1. Dan filed to run against Knize, which prompted Knize and his family to say, "hell no, we aren't going to let Joey Dauben destroy us like he did four years ago through his blog." That is not an exact quote, but that's exactly what the message was...
Bob Carroll, the former Court at Law No. 1 judge who was at the time running for Ellis County judge against Carol Bush, abruptly switched races and filed against Gus, who then was joined by Wilkinson and Cindy Ermatinger, a Midlothian defense lawyer who lost to Carroll in the 40th District run-off on April 13.
Carroll is reportedly friends with former County Judge Chad Adams again, who is also friends with Gov. Perry. Perry makes the appointment, so odds are, whoever lobbies Adams the strongest will then have Perry's ear.
I will make a very strong agreement here today:
1) If you guys out there in lawyer-la-la land help Dan Gus get the 378th District Court appointment, I will not run/write/video/broadcast a single negative thing about any one of you guys ------------------------------ unless it's bought. (In other words, if someone pays me $1,000 to throw up an entire Web site devoted to judicial corruption, I'll do it, but other than that, nada.)
I want this to be taken seriously...I will voluntarily lower my guns and store them someplace else (guns=keyboard, pen) if you guys get Gov. Perry to appoint Gun to this spot.
2) I'll even vote for Perry in November if it looks like Gus will get the spot.
Now, no one has to affirm anything to me, either publicly or privately. Just get this appointment done, and you won't have to worry about me beating anyone else to death via the blog --- again, unless someone buys the advertising for it.
After getting rid of Knize, I've got some leverage to play around with...but I'm serious...appoint Gus and you won't have anything else to worry about.

Like Debra Medina, Sen. Brian Birdwell Favors Eliminating Property Taxes
Hell yeah, looks like Debra Medina has an ally to take up her cause of eliminating property taxes in Texas. Article here: texastribune.org/texas-politics/2010-legislative-races/new-state-senator-from-sd-22-talks-eligibility/
Locally, we had Midlothian Councilman Ken Chambers (he lost re-election on May 8) favor eliminating property taxes.
It's an issue that needs to be hit to the hilt, because property taxes are merely governmental rent payments. You people are pricing younger people like me out of considering buying whole parcels of land due to the perverse property tax structure.
Ya, ya, ya, then you'll have people who say their "values" will plummet. People, you need to educate yourselves on what money really is. These things called dollars are not money. They are notes. When the "value" of a property goes up, that doesn't mean the literal value of the property goes up. That means the dollar is becoming worth-less. It's economic science. Research it.

SD-22 | Kip Averitt Won't Run. Sets Up GOP, Democrats to Choose Nominee for Nov. 2
Kip Averitt needs to resign, withdraw, get out of the state senate...his hand-picked successor, David Sibley, lost bad tonight, in a special election run-off. While the Democrats and others arm themselves to take Brian Birdwell off the ballot via the courts due to not having his birth certificate all the eligibility questions, the focus now becomes on the liberal state senator that has "represented" us in Austin since 2002: Averitt.
Perhaps our new SD-22 State Republican Executive Committee members (Jimmie Kerr & Janet Jackson), elected at the GOP convention two weeks ago, could float a resolution calling on Averitt to make due on his word and step aside...
From Michael Quinn Sullivan:
It was a great Tuesday night for conservatives and another impressive win was added to the column of Empower Texans / Texans for Fiscal Responsibility endorsees with Lt. Col. Brian Birdwell’s landslide victory in the Senate District 22 special election.
But nothing is ever easy. Mr. Bidwell's 58% win should be the final word on the expressed desire and preference of voters (and Republicans). Unfortunately, the outgoing moderate state senator, Kip Averitt, is making noise about not giving up his seat to the conservative Brian Birdwell. Confused? A reasonable person should be.
It's a prime case of elitist conceit. Mr. Averitt may well be Exhibit A in explaining why so many people have given up on what they see as a corrupt, good-old-boy political system.
Remember, Mr. Averitt managed to mangle his transition into political retirement, forcing a series of very costly elections. He had announced he wouldn't seek re-election (for vaguely described “health” reasons), but too late for his name to be removed from the 2010 March primary ballot. (That means absent other action, he is the GOP nominee for November.) So he resigned his seat so he could give his predecessor (lobbyist David Sibley) a chance to re-take the seat in a special election. But he cynically held the nomination – apparently as a trump in case voters got uppity.
As they did. It seems the people weren't interested in having a squishy senator-turned-lobbyist in the seat, thank you very much.
Since the election didn't go his way, Sen. Averitt says maybe he'll just stay on the ballot. Never mind doing so would clearly subvert the political will of his constituents. To top it off, he’ll be responsible for wasting untold thousands (millions?) of dollars in the cost of special elections, not to mention political donations for campaigns and the untold efforts of volunteers for the various candidates.
Is ‘selfish’ too strong of a word here? Or not strong enough?
To top it off, Mr. Averitt is says he might stay on the ballot because of the spurious charge Mr. Birdwell isn't eligible to serve. Mr. Birdwell is a Texas native and life-long legal resident, who honorably served our nation in the armed forces and survived the 9/11 attack on the Pentagon. (The several months in which he wasn’t a legally a resident was because he was undergoing a series of painful operations repairing injuries inflicted by our nation’s enemies.)
The people clearly expressed, through their vote – and despite relentless negative attacks by Averitt, Sibley and Co. – that Mr. Birdwell is eligible to serve them, that he meets the spirit and intent of the law.
You know, Joey,what really galls those of the moderate-to-liberal bent? It's that Mr. Birdwell is an actual conservative. Not the “campaign” type who votes with liberals when he thinks no one's watching, but the real kind who takes seriously the values and principles of liberty.
The people clearly preferred Mr. Birdwell's clear, commonsense message.
Now it's time for Mr. Averitt should respect the expressed preference of the voters, not subvert it. He should support his party’s team, not undermine it. He should respect the expressed preference of the voters, not subvert it. If he cannot be helpful, he should be silent. At the very least, Mr. Averitt should just go quietly into the political night and retire as he announced.

Exclusive | SD-22 Documents Prove Brian Birdwell Ineligible
My journalistic life has been defined by not exactly what I have written, but how I obtain documents...and more often than not, I obtain the explosive stuff via envelopes in obscure parking lots of department stores or grocery stores (cases in point: 1: My Ferris' shoot-feral dog policy that went international; and the Democratic Ellis County assistant DA Cindy Hellstern's husband was caught masturbating in public only to have her boss and the sheriff cover it up.) Such is the case from today in which I was hand-delivered documents that are public record now...but only now, are they actually "in print." The Ellis County Observer and The Palmer Post are one in the same, though in two platforms: the ECO is a blog, The Post is a newspaper.
The Texas Constitution requires that candidates for state senate reside in one of the 31 districts five years prior, are U.S. citizens and at least 26. Birdwell meets the last two, but not the first...he last voted in Virginia in 2006, and applied for hunting/fishing licenses in Virginia in 2008...(see below)
Full Disclosure: I am an ardent backer of Burleson Republican Darren Yancy. I supported him in the race versus Kip Averitt on March 2, supported him in the special election May 8 and will continue to support him. I am, however, voting for Brian Birdwell on June 22 due to the fact he's a conservative, whereas David Sibley's newspaper ads say he is a conservative but his record reflects another animal (RINO), even so much as donating money to Democrats 200 times, according to the Waco Tribune-Herald.
With that said, here are photos of documents I obtained today that show and conclude that Brian Birdwell of Granbury is ineligible to serve as our state senator should be get elected June 22. And, there are other eligibility issues involving Sibley, who admitted to the Fort Worth Star-Telegram about having a second homestead exemption in Travis County. Eligibility issues have marred this SD-22 race for too long. Averitt stepped down due to "health reasons," plus the fact he's ultra-liberal, and the least reported reason, because his best friend was sleeping with his wife. Unfortunate. But such is politics.
Also, I do not speak from any official title or organization other than The Ellis County Observer and The Palmer Post. If I had the single-handed authority tomorrow, I would push that the Republican Liberty Caucus of Texas endorse Birdwell June 22 ---- with an asterisk next to his last name for these eligibility reasons. But, I don't have that authority...so therefore it is moot.
However, we need honest conservative leadership, and Yancy supports nullifying ObamaCare at the state level. The other two do not.
If and when Birdwell is elected, and Averitt follows through on his resignation, the Democrats will sue, knock Birdwell off the ballot and throw SD-22 to the Democrats --- not like the Democrats weren't in control anyway (Kip Averitt and David Sibley are liberal Republicans...with Democratic voting records) --- but at least the Democrats will be marked with the blue color and donkey logo. Hey, if Averitt were 50 percent honest, he would switch parties anyway...sad thing is, McLennan County runs this entire senate district (for now) and it would be hard for Averitt to lose as a Democrat I think...who knows.
Finally, here are the documents (scanners were not available when the documents were obtained, so I took photos...)
Plus, Birdwell attempted to run for state House against Jim Keffer of Eastland and ran into the same residency requirements. Birdwell would make a great congressman. There are no residency requirements about that one to speak of...don't even have to live in the same district.
It must make the other big-name newspapers and the horrendous budgets and news staff pretty embarrassed when a blogger demolishes them...or when a small community newspaper (Palmer=1,950 residents) trounces the big ones. I've been doing this all my adult life, so eh, it's nothing new...

David Sibley on YouTube: 'I Supported Democrats in the Past...'
Brannon Bridge, the expert reporter-Young Republican for The Palmer Post and The Ellis County Observer, attended the David Sibley meet-and-greet last night at Rogers Hotel.
Forward to 2:59 in the video where Sibley, who claims the mantle of "Tea Party values" but is in reality a liberal Republican In Name Only, speaks about supporting Democrats in the past and how one must work with the other side to get things done...
Then forward to 1:03 to get the Sibley campaign asking why Bridge was filming....
Direct Link to Bridge's YouTube channel: youtube.com/gnut23
I haven't discussed with Brannon who he's going to vote for on June 22's run-off for the remainder of Kip Averitt's term (Kip resigned for health reasons...) But I'm voting for Brian Birdwell knowing full and well that the stack of documents I have prove he is ineligible to serve as our state senator. His last vote in 2006 was in Virginia. State law requires one to be a resident at least five years prior to running for state senate. Birdwell's a conservative, but just how much is the Democratic National Committee working with him? Quite a bit, from what The Ellis County Observer is hearing in the field...
We are ardent Darren Yancy backers, and to date, this blog has been the only media outlet (and an editorial I wrote for The Ellis County Press) to expose the Brazos River Authority scandal...just Google "Brazos River Authority scandal."

Texas Libertarians Choose Kathie Glass as Gubernatorial Nominee
Kathie Glass won the Libertarian Party of Texas gubernatorial nomination Saturday in Austin, reported first on my Twitter account (twitter.com/joeygdauben), but more in depth here on the LPTX press release section:
Note: By law, every party in the state must hold their conventions in June
Glass defeated Jeff Daiell by a 73-25 vote margin, according to my sources inside LPTX. She reportedly had the backing and campaign management expertise from former Ron Paul staffer Penny Langford Freeman, among others.
AUSTIN, TEXAS - June 12, 2010 -- Kathie Glass, a Houston attorney, has won the Libertarian Party nomination for Governor of Texas. She will face incumbent Governor Rick Perry and former Houston mayor Bill White in November.
"This is our time. We will leave this convention as a united party," said Glass. "Texans want smaller government and more freedom. This is the meassge that we bring."
"Regrettably, our current governor seems intent on running our state "Washington D.C." style instead of Texas style. Runaway taxes, exploding spending, escalating debt, ever-growing government, and confiscation of property so he can give it to foreign interests -- where will it end?" asked Glass.
"Kathie was nominated by our convention because of her strength, knowledge of the issues, and her sense of what's right for Texas," said Texas Libertarian Executive Director Robert Butler. "She knows the Libertarian answer for today's issues and she can explain it well for every audience."
Libertarians met today at their state convention in Austin to nominate statewide candidates, elect party leadership, and adopt their rules and platform.

Breaking News: CPS Involved in County Judge Candidate Situation
I reported yesterday about Brandy Lemmon Owen, the Libertarian candidate for Ellis County judge, and her psychotic stalker from Austin, Texas, Kirk Kleinsorge. Kirk threatened Owen with 200 text messages detailing rape and death threats. Well, now Kirk Kleinsorge has contacted Child Protective Services officials in Ellis County, and right now, CPS is referring the allegations from Kleinsorge to the DA's office. Owen has refused to let CPS on her property in Ennis (Kaspar Lane), and has threatened to use deadly force if Kleinsorge -- who told Owen that he knows every address/property/home that she owns/rents out/etc. -- showed up on her property. I am on standby with my video camera should and if this situation go south, but the allegations from Kleinsorge are that Owen - who has six children - reportedly abused one.
This coming from a guy who sent 200 text messages within a span of one full hour threatening rape and death on Owen.
I am calling on my friends and allies to keep a watch out for that area on Kaspar Lane during this time...
I will be down there with a video camera to document it all if I need to be...
CPS and I have a very lengthy, public animosity in this county, and I have no problem whatsoever in exposing so much as a single evil corrupt thing they might have up their sleeves, but, if there are legitimate concerns and allegations, those need to be investigated.
I'm asking Owen to forward me the text messages from this Kirk Kleinsorge guy now (who yesterday deleted his Facebook profile after we posted it) so that I can start publishing them on the blog...
This coming from a guy who sent 200 text messages within a span of one full hour threatening rape and death on Owen.
I am calling on my friends and allies to keep a watch out for that area on Kaspar Lane during this time...
I will be down there with a video camera to document it all if I need to be...

Congressman Joe Barton's '12 Primary Opponent: Paul D. Perry
Huge news from Ellis County: Paul Perry, a former Justice of the Peace in Midlothian, could be waging a primary battle with longtime Congressman Joe Barton, R-Ennis. Perry, who is now from Milford, responded to The Ellis County Observer with this:
"All of my political are open," Perry said via text message.
Joe Barton's last primary opponent was...a long time ago. I tried for it in 2005 (it was fun), but Perry is a Constitutional Liberty-loving Republican, a Ron Paul/Goldwater type of Republican.
Barton is a George W. Bush Republican who was elected in 1984, when I was 3.
Joe vs. Paul
This would be a good one...

Candidate Threatened With Rape, Death From Kirk Kleinsorge
Some weird pyschotic deranged man by the name of Kirk Kleinsorge has reportedly threatened to rape and kill Libertarian Party candidate for Ellis County Judge Brandy L. Owen. Owen was meeting with customers of her APEX Super Foods line of products when she met Kirk Kleinsorge, who then offered her a salaried position with a company he reportedly runs. After Owen left (and before doing some background on him), she started receiving text messages from him threatening rape and murder. This morning alone, Owen said she received 200 text messages from him threatening rape, murder and "reverse nigger sodomy," whatever that is.
She's planning to file charges against this guy (his Facebook page profile here), and warns that any movement on her land will be met with self-defense, since Owen now reports that this Kleinsorge guy has every address that she has, and every property she's got.
Owen is the only general election opponent to Republican Carol Bush in the fall.
