PROOF that CHRIS BELL SUPPORTS PERRY’S TTC BOONDOGGLE!

Chris Bell, has recently stepped up his rhetoric as he now says he opposes Perry’s Trans Texas Corridor, since it’s become popular to do so. But, the cat is now out of the bag.

THE TRUTH OF BELLS SUPPORT FOR THE TTC WAS EXPOSED by a recent live radio interview with Ron Thulin of KAHL in San Antonio.

While I was live on the air with Ron Thulin yesterday, pushing our launch of the StopPerry.com TV ad campaign this week, I was shocked when Ron told me how he had exposed Chris Bell’s support of the TTC. Chris Bell tried to flip flop, panicked, stuttered, and quickly change the subject, as a guilty man would.

CHRIS BELL'S OWN WORDS COME BACK TO HAUNT HIM!
Here are Chris Bells own words in support of the corridor, unedited, from the Dallas Morning News February 2006 Voters Guide (http://www.vgt2004.org/a-dallas06/candidate-detail.go?id=3170238):

Dallas Morning News Question: Are you satisfied with current plans for funding high-speed rail as an integral component of the Trans-Texas corridor? Please explain.

Chris Bells Answer: I think high-speed rail has an important place in our state’s long-term transportation plans, and I will support efforts to speed up the timetable for introducing high-speed rail here in Texas. Texas should not have to wait until 2025 to begin real development on the rail component of the TTC.

The rail portion (NOT light rail) of the TTC is
built after the foreign controlled toll roads
take 580,000 acres of private and state land.

CHRIS BELL TRIES TO TRICK TEXANS AGAIN!
Chris Bell was beginning to be successful at tricking many radio stations across Texas who erroneously repeated Bell’s claim that he was the ONLY candidate against the Trans Texas Corridor.

Bell based this lie on a grain of sand, smoke and some mirrors. Boring Bell saw a report Strayhorn had produced years ago which mentioned using limited traditional toll roads, where tolls pay for the road you drive on. Our group has not opposed traditional toll roads, we’ve been very clear that we oppose tolls on roads we’ve already paid for. Tolling roads we’ve already paid for is Rick Perry’s scam to tax us for something we’ve already been taxed for, creating corporate welfare slush funds. Funded freeways have never been tolled in the history of the country.

Bell took this lie to a whole other level and claimed Strayhorn supported the TTC. None of Bell’s claims were true, as they have been built on a crafty imagination of a man that is known for doing nothing and used as a placeholder for the Gov. campaign.

FACT: Strayhorn has received the support of 100% of the anti TTC and all “no tolls on roads we’ve already paid for” groups throughout Texas. Not one of these citizen groups in Texas supports Bell, and rightly so. Strayhorn has done more than talk, she’s already delivered results, and that’s why we ALL endorse her.

PERRY AND BELL. CRIPS AND BLOODS.
While Strayhorn has been the only state official fighting the corruption with us over the past years, Gov. Perry has created his boondoggles with dirty Republicans and dirty Democrats who want to ignore the public and eat at the special interest trough.

A reminder, since 2004 our multi-partisan citizen PAC has supported and fought for only independent thinking Republicans (such as Keel, Marcias, and Latham) and independent thinking Democrats (Howard, Coleman and Eckhardt), the good guys and gals are a rare breed indeed.

Boring Bell also failed to show up at dozens of TTC hearings that Strayhorn has taken the time to attend across Texas, along with thousand of Texans who fear loosing their homes to Perry’s TTC foreign profit making scheme. Chris Bell also failed to show up, after being invited, to any of our important anti-TTC events across the state. Most of these events, especially our largest one, Tunes not Tolls, took place before we made any endorsement decisions.

CRIPS AND BLOODS. Why has Chris Bell failed to say he’ll stop the TTC or have any alternative? The corrupt portion of the democrat party machine, desperate to regain power, will most probably want to move into Perry’s TTC territory, profit and sell Texas for their own gain. Sadly, this opinion is simply based on what the two parties have been doing since they were born.

MORE "CHRIS BELL BIG LIES"

A couple weeks ago, Bell’s frustrated, desperate and delusional campaign, at the bottom of every reputable poll was beating its chest about a poll that finally came out showing them in second place.

The Bell campaign quickly sent out press releases, how it was now 5 points away from Perry, and claiming Strayhorn’s campaign was dead.

Like the rest of “Chris Bell’s Big Lies”, Bell just can’t be honest with Texans - The poll Bell bragged about was an online interactive poll that is easily manipulated by having supporters ask to be part of the poll.

I’m sure Bell can get 100% of the vote. If you poll his campaign office and his mom.

I found this text about the online poll: "...database of individuals who have registered to take part in online polls through solicitations on the company's Web site as well as other Web sites that span the political spectrum". Some candidates have actually altered this feeble poll by telling their supporters to go to the poll to deliberately skew the data. Shame on Chris Bell, for tricking Texans.

BORING BELL BEGS KINKY TO DROP OUT, KINKY SAYS NO.
The latest “news” from the desperate Chris Bell campaign is about Chris Bell calling Kinky, to beg him to drop out of the race. Kinky said no.

CHRIS BELL GETS HIS FIRST 1 MILLION DOLLARS THIS WEEK
The simple fact is Texas is a huge state, millions are needed to communicate with millions of Texans via TV. Professional consultants will tell you that at least one million a week is needed to communicate effectively via TV, to have any success in a Statewide campaign. Of course it takes more than money, but money is a real world communications factor.

This week, Chris Bell, finally got funded, a little. One attorney contributed 1 million dollars and a promise to find more. I’m sure Bell will declare that the race is over says he’s the new Governor and president of the universe. FYI: Four years ago about 100 million was spent in the Governors race by the Perry and Sanchez campaigns.

As of this week, Strayhorn has 5 million on hand, and I think Perry has 8 or 9 million. Kinky has zero millions.

The usual Democratic big dollar contributors, who want to remove the Rick Perry cancer, also abandoned Chris Bell from the start. These contributors have sent their precious dollars to Strayhorn instead of Bell from day one.

The united contributors put out a MEMO yesterday, explaining how only Strayhorn can beat Perry—and that Bell and Kinky cannot win even if they had all the money in the world.

THE BARBARIANS ARE AT THE GATE, AND THEY BOTH HAVE GOOD HAIR!

Governor Perry and Chris Bell won’t let Texans vote on large issues. Both oppose I & R.

Perry and Bell won’t let us vote on the largest land-grab in Texas history, or vote for or against tolls on roads we’ve already paid for. And now Perry and Bell don’t want the citizens of Texas to have a voice on the seizure of a half-million acres of Texas private property.

Strayhorn is the only candidate that supports I & R (75% agree we need it), Strayhorn will fight to let Texans have a voice.

PERRY AND BELL ATTACK OUR CITIZENS GROUP AND STRAYHORN

Perry and Bell have not only spread lies about Strayhorn, but they have attacked our citizens group. They have told the press that our two-and-a-half year-old grass roots group is a ‘Strayhorn Campaign front’. Nothing could be farther from the truth! We’ve been fighting these elected crooks since 2004. We’ve worked with and endorsed many candidates who want Texans to have a voice over special interest profits.

And get this new absurd rumors Bell and/or Perry is trying to sell to the press: I with the minutemen! Sure all that spare time of mine I run down to the border with some guns. Pathetic!

Perry and Bell have even said that I’ve been paid off in exchange for our support of Strayhorn. I’ve used $30,000 of my savings, to build our group, and I’ve donated up to 50 hrs a week for the past 2.5 years (which has been a hardship on my family). I’ve not been paid a dime from Strayhorn, or anyone else to do this work. I’ve also not been paid by our PAC. Heck, a couple years ago I was driving a brand new Audi TT sports car. Today, I drive a 1988 Dodge Raider that is falling apart. I don’t pay myself so we can go after the bad guys with every penny we get.

Perry and Bell have also attacked our coalition partners, like Terri Hall with the San Antonio Toll Party. Terri is a mother and homeschooler of five kids!!! with a sixth on the way, who also fights for Texans without pay.

We do this work because it must be done, paid or not. Perry and Bell never heard of the word “selfless “.

CAROLE KEETON STRAYHORN HAS ALREADY BEEN STANDING WITH THE PEOPLE NOT THE SPECIAL INTERESTS.
Strayhorn is the ONLY candidate with a no land grab alternative. Strayhorn is the only Candidate that will stop Perry’s double tax tolls in their tracks! Carole, the only woman in the race has also been the only candidate to expose Perry’s $2,000 property tax cut lie. Strayhorn is the only candidate with the endorsement of the two largest Texas Teachers Groups, and she has a plan to secure our borders, improve our schools and allow affordable health care for Texans.

THE DEBATE - THE BIG QUESTION
When will Perry answer the crucial question asked during last Fridays Governors debate (by reporter Christine Haas, KVUE-TV Austin) about the ‘three central figures of Cintra’ giving Perry’s campaign ‘hundreds of thousands of dollars’, while the TTC deal worth Billions, relies on our public assets and taking private land from Texas families to sweeten the corporate welfare pot?
