Kingwood Area Democrats and several other Progressive and Democratic organizations participated in the rally at the opening of the King Street Patriots new headquarters on May 16th, 2011. The event was attended by Texas Governor Rick Perry and House Representative Ted Poe. They entered the event undetected. This is the group that is responsible for using dubious tactics to suppress the votes they perceive would not vote for their candidates.
The following was reported to have transpired inside the event from someone who attended the event.
Main Coordinator/Speaker: Kathy Engelbrite – founder of King Street Patriots Attendees: Sam Malone, Ted Poe, Rick Perry, Dan Patrick, Kevin Brady, John Culberson, Sarah Davis, approx 200 people Prayer: Luis Lopez – Lakewood Church. From Proverbs: "upright people" quote (main point of prayer) Opening Comments: Dr. Steve Steinlight, "Center for Immigration Studies" – there is an "Aryian Agenda"; sanctuary cities are countenanced and are dangerous; E-Verify should be mandatory; main way Nazis got power was not enforcing local laws. Presentation of "Resolution": Dan Patrick and Sarah Davis signed a resolution in Austin today and brought it to Kathy Engelbrite for founding the King Street Patriots. She was also given an American flag. Comments by Dan Patrick: we have balanced the budget with no Rainy Day funds (standing ovation and Perry waving arms over head around and around); schools and nursing homes are funded. Speech by Governor Perry (began by swinging his suit jacket over his head in a circle):
Closing comments by Ted Poe: No one goes to war for bigger government and more government programs. We have to stand up for our rights. Obama doesn’t own our oil and natural resources. Closing comments by Kathy Engelbrite: We need a True America with true elections. Thats what True the Vote is for. We have to focus on moving Forward, and that’s why Forward is our logo. We do this for our children. Its on us! We are called to believe! We can change our country back to the founding principles that we want, that we need, and that God intended for us to have. Announcement that IPad electronic donation takers were in each corner – had large signs indicating where they were stationed. Envelopes were passed around to also put donations in. Large scoll-type banners with quotes and sayings hung on every wall. Thanks given to all who built the stage, arranged for building to be turned into new office, made donations to get new furniture and decorations. |
