Friends,
Lamar Smith, who is seeking re-election to U.S. Congress District 21 of Texas, was to be the guest speaker at the Kyle Buda Republican Group (KBRG) meeting last Saturday, but he cancelled suddenly a few days before the meeting. Asked why Lamar Smith had cancelled, the KBRG President responded, “He cancelled when I called to give him a heads-up that Matt McCall would be at the meeting”. Matt McCall is the Republican who is challenging Smith in the race for U.S. Congress (CD21). Smith recently cancelled another speech in Bexar County for the same reason. Lamar Smith’s re-election campaign manager has been contacting Republican groups in CD 21 to book these speaking engagements for his boss, candidate Lamar Smith. In cancelling the speaking engagements, Smith’s campaign manager insisted that the speeches were strictly “State of the Union” speeches, which would not be delivered if Mr. McCall was allowed to attend.
We applaud the leaders of these Republican Groups for the integrity they showed here. First, they showed courtesy to candidate Smith by telling his campaign that Matt McCall would be at these meetings. Second, they refused to ban candidate Matt McCall from the meeting. It would have been far easier to give in to the demands of a powerful, longtime incumbent who apparently has no qualms about abusing the powers of his office to get what he wants. These Republican leaders set a fine example by their insistence that all candidates be treated fairly and respectfully.
Lets keep the ball rolling!
With name recognition expanding quickly we should keep up the momentum by promoting speaking engagements every chance possible. Please email me with any information on events or meet and greets that you would like Matt McCall to attend. If you would like to schedule a meet and greet with Matt McCall for your area, please don’t hesitate to contact me via email or cell phone. Thank you!
For Liberty,
Chase Mitchell
Campaign Manager, Matt McCall for Congress
