Voters in the United States have a unique opportunity every two years, Texas attorney general candidate David Van Os says: the chance to fire politicians. "Every even-numbered year, people have the opportunity to review the performance of their public officials," he said in Tyler on Monday. "And firing day is coming on Nov. 7."

Van Os said that political commentators have cast doubt on his chances in November. "But look at Harry Truman," Van Os said. "Pundits and pollsters said Harry Truman couldn't win. He said to heck with them, and he started off on a whistle-stop tour. And the people handed him an upset victory."

"I'm bringing a message straight from my heart," he said. "We are living in an (administration) of greed. You see it everywhere, greed and arrogance." That's shown in the Trans-Texas Corridor project advocated by Gov. Rick Perry, he said.

"They want to tear up some of the best agricultural land in American so that greedy hogs can make billions of dollars from Texans who are driving on their own highways," Van Os said. "It's intolerable. The people of Texas can't stand for it. People are up in arms about it, but the bureaucrats are turning a deaf ear to them."

Van Os filed an "affidavit for public record" at the Smith County Courthouse promising to "use every legal means available to me by that office to bring a halt and/or invalidate the unconstitutional and illegal project known as the Trans-Texas Corridor."

1. David Van Os is the the REAL Real Deal!

I think Mr. Greg Abbott is in for a big surprise come November. The people of Texas have found a powerful new advocate, if only they are wise enough to enable him to speak for them.
