Booting SJL; John Faulk Makes Dedicated Run For Congress

Make no mistake about it, John Faulk is on a mission to boot Sheila Jackson Lee out of Congress in 2010.

John Faulk is not a career politician; he is a concerned citizen who “got fed up”. Faulk says, “I’m not looking to start a political dynasty,” and he adds that he is simply looking to get representation for the people of the Texas 18th.

Faulk asserts that since 1995 (when Lee took office), the 18th Congressional District has been without representation. Faulk’s website states, “Our representative has spent more time traveling to Louisiana, Brazil, and even Pakistan than holding office hours in Houston. It is time for change!”

Faulk also says that Lee has only written and passed one piece of legislation during her entire tenure in office. That legislation was to have a statue of Abolitionist Sojourner Truth erected in the Capitol Rotunda. Faulk’s frustrations show in his desire to take back the 18th for the people.

The conventional wisdom of the Republican party is that Lee seems almost unbeatable as a candidate, but is not a threat as an actual representative. Republicans say, ‘Well, we know she’s (Lee) ineffective, so leave her alone,’” says Faulk, who adds, “But that’s one vote against a Republican vote.” Faulk also notes that since, historically, Sheila Jackson Lee has received little to no serious competition for her seat in the district, she has used her campaign contributions to support other Democrats in other races.

Faulk, a pro-life, balanced budget, small government, candidate also characterizes Lee as the single most liberal member of the U.S. House of Representatives. Faulk says, “She is absolutely the most liberal person in the House. She votes 100% of the time with the Democratic Party. She also votes 100% of the time with Planned Parenthood.”

Sheila Jackson Lee (SJL) vote 100% with the Democratic Party and 100% with Planned Parenthood. She must Go. Read an exclusive Interview with the man who plans to defeat her in 2010.

Faulk ain't got a snow ball's chance, but I wish him well.

It’s a Justice Dept.-mandated racist district designed to protect deranged moonbats like General Jackson Lee.

Yeah, I know, that’s why Faulk has no prayer of unseating her. But, he should run. SJL has to be in the top 5 dumbest members of congress.

I forgot to notice that Faulk already ran against her in 2008. He got all of 20%. No Republican has ever won more than 24% against her (in 1994, her first race).

“The conventional wisdom of the Republican party is that Lee seems almost unbeatable as a candidate, but is not a threat as an actual representative.”

And this is what has me fed up with the Republican party leadership. Actually, with parties at all.

Fieldmarshadj,re your comment “It’s a Justice Dept.mandated racist district designed to protect deranged moonbats like General Jackson Lee.”
Yes after the 2000 census that is how Tom Delay constructed the district. However, since 2000 the district has been gentrified with new homes and mid rise apartments. The Voter Rights Act mandates that in 2011 TX 18 have at least 35% African Americans. The 2010 election is a sweet spot to defeat her and as an incumbent have some influence on the redistricting. The current estimate is 42% White, 37% African American and spread over both are 34% Hispanic. Help me get the word out that SJL can be defeated if we work hard enough! John Faulk
