Why I'm going to be a candidate for Texas Attorney General in 2006

[David Van Os]

Grassroots Texans have always believed that government belongs to the people. All over our state people from all walks of life are fed up with the rip-off of their democracy and they want it back. The Texas Constitution (Art. 4, Sec. 22) directs the Attorney General of Texas to protect democracy from corporate special-interest government and gives him the tools of office to do it. I've received all my education and lived all my life in Texas; I love this state; and I've vowed to honor the education and training Texas gave me by using them to answer the moral imperative of our time, to restore government to the people. Those coming before us who founded self-governing democracy intended that it last forever. For my part I will not let it go down, and my part is clear to me. This state belongs to all the people, and they are entitled to a people's lawyer as Attorney General who’ll fight to restore it to them.

Fighting to restore government to the people means: defending the people against the predatory exercise of monopoly power by big corporations, instead of protecting the corporations by winking and looking the other way. It means: defending democracy from being ripped off by the buying and selling of public votes for private gain. It means: defending the Constitution and Bill of Rights of the people of Texas. It means: fighting to preserve the ownership of government by we the people, using the tools of office that the founders of Texas wisely provided to the people’s lawyer, the Attorney General, for just such purpose.

5. I've said it before and I'll say it again. I had the pleasure of

meeting David Van Os and his wonderful wife quite by accident in Dallas.
I walked into a hotel restaurant for breakfast one morning and there were exactly two other people dining and they were talking about Danger Man.
So of course I sat right by them and struck up a conversation.
David is not your average politico- down to earth and without a hint of narcissistic bombast.
As someone whose family came to what is now the great state of Texas in the early 1600s, events of recent years have been exceedingly painful for me.
Democrats in Texas need a message, not a massage, and I sincerely believe that David Van Os as AG could get some things fixed.
Although I am an ex-pat now I plan on doing everything I can to support this fine man.
