“Marcella, you are magnificent. We all appreciate you very much. Thank you, Rita”

I thank you for saying that. When I got into politics, it became clear to me that if you play the game, you have to know the rules. He who knows the rules wins. The game rules in politics, is the election law. The person who knows the rules, wins, so I set about for us to win by studying the election code until I knew it, then I taught it to everyone who needed to know it. Our election judges in my county were the best in Texas.

Then, I branched out and started instructing in other Texas counties and election judges and clerks are still using the material I gave them and when a law changes, they record it on those papers.

I had a blast teaching people for four hours. I had them laughing most of the time and that helped them remember what I taught. We met for two hours, then I let them eat, then we did it another two hours. I had someone tell me I couldn’t teach for four hours because the people would get tired and not listen. We had so much fun, they would have gone for more hours. Time flies when you’re having fun.

I was teaching a county out in west Texas and there was a reporter there. I wouldn’t start until that reporter left. When I teach, I am NOT politically correct and I didn’t want anything I said reported in a newspaper.

I did speak at a Republican gathering, not teaching, and there was a reporter there and I didn’t know it and when that reporter left, she reported to her boss that I offended her by what I said. Well, if you send a Democrat reporter to a Republican function, and I speak, that is what you get. I wouldn’t have changed a word of what I said. I always tell the truth and sometimes that galls a Democrat and I don’t care.

I fit on this forum because Jim Robinson pretty much thinks like I do and he hasn’t kicked me off - yet. I don’t think Democrats like him and I know they don’t like me in Texas. Tough cookie.
