You should run for office.

I've never meet GOPc however he has one of the best, YOUNG, political minds I've seen .... at least since I was his age! ;-)

The RRC is more important.

It's also a paying job.

A little personal "vanity" here.

My great uncle and godfather, Jerry Sadler, was Texas Railroad Commissioner in the early '40's. He was tough as an old boot, and possibly just as crooked. F. Roosevelt nicknamed him "Snuffy", because of his devotion to snuff-dipping. There were many others at the time who had less flattering names for him. He was greatly loved by many in Texas, and almost equally hated. But, he dearly loved Texas.....and I loved him.

Vanity off.

I intended to, however several minor health problems and three rather major family issues have combined to prevent it. I do not know of any local FReepers coming however, as you might imagine, several Republicans in my area are coming.
