Editorial Opinion (Speculation)

I am going to tell everyone the problem with the law in the State of Texas.  It's the County Attorney.  The State of Texas revolves around the County Attorney.  If the County Attorney is Corrupted, you can't get anything done.   If you have a problem, and call any department in the State of Texas, they always tell you to go to the County Attorney.  Everyone in this County that is not part of the Problem, or in some cases is not informed of the problems here need to understand that if you have a County Attorney who is Corrupted by the system, that the Corruption will continue.  The law needs to be changed at the State level to alleviate this problem.  I have contacted Mark Homer's office, and asked them to help change this law.  They are very aware of the problem, because some of them have had the same problems that we are having.  People need to understand that it is very important who is elected to office.  If they elect an official who is corrupt it corrupts the whole system.  That is what we have in this county, a CORRUPT system, and everyone here knows it.  There are steps that we can follow to change this, but everyone needs to participate.  One thing is to call your State Representative, and ask him to get the law changed so that when you have a CORRUPT County Attorney, that you can go around him or her.  If you would like to voice your opinion to Mark Homer about the situation you can call his Paris Texas office, and  voice it about changing the law.  His telephone number is 1-903-784-0977, and 1-903-737-9949.  I know how frustrating this situation is, as I have been fighting the system for 3 years now, and I am seeing some results.  IT IS VERY FRUSTRATING, so if you are joining the fight now, don't give up, it can be done, but will take time and a lot of effort.  I wish someone would step forward, and run as an independent against the County Judge.  He is planning on stepping down after he takes office in January, and we will again have another "Good Ole Boy" appointed by the "Good Ole Boys" to the system that is already Corrupted.  This Runoff election has been said to be tainted so bad that it needs to be thrown out,  from sources inside the system.  If people are really tired of this, all I can tell you is to voice your opinions to the Secretary of State's Election Division office in Austin at  1-800-252-8683, and the Office of the Governor (Rick Perry)1-512-463-2000,and tell them that you are tired of the Corruption in Red River County and want the laws changed so that the People can request investigations into county government without having to go through a Corrupt County Attorney's office first. Even better call the County Attorney's office, go by and visit him, and tell him if he doesn't do something about the corruption in this county he won't have a job after the next election.  Make him so scared that he will crawl under a table with a blanket on his head rather than you having one over yours.  If enough people will do this, maybe he will get off his corrupted backside and do something.  The county attorney's number is 903 427-2009. You can also contact the House Committee on Election Laws at 1-512-463-0772 and tell them that you want a change in the Election Laws to Get around a Corrupted County or District attorney when the people need to file a complaint.  I was also told that you can contact the Texas Attorney's General office and file a complaint with them if you know of election discrepancies.  His telephone number is 1-512-463-2191 and the harder number to get through on is 1-877-673-6839.  If nothing else, call all the numbers above and voice your displeasure as a citizen of the State of Texas.   We all know what is going on here, so lets just pull off the mask and come right out with it.  Red River County is the most Corrupt County in the State of Texas, and if it is going to be changed, The People are going to have to get involved.  Do you want to make a change, or have they got you so scared that you want to hide under a table in the corner with a blanket over your head?  If your answer is yes, you want a change, then you are going to have to fight for it.  As Winston Churchill said "The only thing you have to fear, is fear itself."
