They also need our help financially, so if you can squeeze a little out go here:

There is a way to email them at the bottom where it says "email the Texas 11."

I guess I feel so strongly about this because I think Florida was the first victim of these power grabs. It took a while for a lot of us to realize the full implication of it, and to fully realize how it happened. Lots of us here are working on it, but the media and our legislature are not helping at all.

At least it is happening overtly in Texas, not so sneakily as it was here.

I received this reply from Nathan Wilcox at website above after a recent inquiry. He also said it would be a costly fight in every way.
QUOTE:"Thanks for the support -- and it's not too late for Florida.
If I may quote Walt Whitman:
"When liberty goes out of a place it is not the first to go, nor the
second or third to go,
It waits for all the rest to go, it is the last.

"When there are no more memories of heroes and martyrs,
And when all life and all the souls of men and women are discharged
from any part of the earth,
Then only shall liberty or the idea of liberty be discharged from
that part of the earth,
And the infidel come into full possession."

Keep on fighting! It ain't over til they've killed every last one of us!

To a Foil'd European Revolutionaire

1. I went to the donor page.

Why do they need to know our employer and occupation? They are required fields.

2. Required by the FEC

For donors who give more than $200 to a candidate, party or cause, the recipient is required to try to find out the donor's occupation and employer. If you giving less than $200, the information isn't "harvested" (according to my sources, who may not be accurate).

So, since it's a "required" field, just put in that you're a peon for Halliburton. Considering the way the money you pay in taxes is being used, you're not really lying.

3. That is always required, I believe.

We don't give huge amounts at once, but I think we have always had to fill that out.

I put retired teacher, and then give the county school board.

I think it is law.

4. Anyone have any suggestions

for how this thing should end with both sides saving face?
