Controlled Burn

Chairman's Monday Message

Greetings, everyone! Before I get into the meat of this week’s message, let me congratulate Susan Cumby, the Election Oversight Committee, our Election Judges, Poll Watchers, and Poll Workers. Your efforts during the November 2024 election cycle have truly delivered incredible results and paid immense dividends. Your attention to detail and reporting of the questionable actions you witnessed, along with affidavits, delivered a great success last week. The Texas Secretary of State’s office announced that they were decertifying the ES&S ePollbook systems in the state of Texas. As you know, based upon anecdotal evidence, DCRP led the way in making the systemic failures of the system known across the country.

However, we cannot rest upon these laurels, but must now continue to go on offense. Now is the time to push for hand-signature polling location sign-in. The loss of the ePollbooks is a great first step in getting us back to precinct-level voting and reversing course away from countywide voting operations. We are all aware of the potential for election irregularities that undermine electoral confidence. Our Legislative Priorities committee can stress this during the legislative session. You can contact our State Representatives and State Senators to advocate for hand-counted paper ballots and an elimination of the troublesome electronic systems. The last thing we need is for a failed ES&S system to be replaced by another failed system. We should be demanding transparency from the Dallas County Commissioners Court, along with the Dallas County Elections Department, on their selection criteria for a replacement. 

The battle is won by the courageous, and the resilient. Y’all have proven, and are proving, to be both.

Now, onto the topic of this week’s missive:

I remember when I was stationed at Ft. Riley, Kansas, we had to be aware of something called controlled burns in the training area. If you have ever been to Ft. Riley, Kansas, near Manhattan and Junction City, you know that the area is known as the Flint Hills and it is also near the Konza prairie. I remember when my mom flew out to visit me, before there was a decent airport in Manhattan. I had to drive down to pick her up in Kansas City, and head back west towards Ft. Riley/Manhattan. The sun had gone down and it was nighttime. When you get west of Topeka, you are entering Konza prairie and Flint Hills country. There was a controlled burn going on and my mom commented to me in that soft southern voice, “Baby, it looks like we are driving into hell.” I just had to laugh.

To the unknowing eye, it would appear that the hills were on fire, but a controlled burn, or as some call it, a prescribed burn, has a deliberate, intended, and positive purpose. It is meant to change the assemblage of vegetation and decaying material across a certain landscape. It is truly a positive that benefits forest management, something Gavin Newsom and Karen Bass, along with other leftist chuckleheads, do not comprehend. It is also a tool for ecological restoration, spurring on new growth, land clearing, and wildfire fuel management. You can also refer to controlled burns as hazard reduction burning, again, a lesson to be learned after these recent fires in California where dead underbrush fuels dangerous fires.

So there comes a time in politics where we need to have a controlled burn. The progressive socialist leftists are in an abject apoplectic meltdown witnessing such happening in the swamp known as Washington, DC. We are witnessing the melting down of the leftist self-licking ice cream cone known as expansive government and the fire it causes is fraud, waste, and abuse resulting in $36 trillion of debt and massive deficit spending.

But, we also have a similar issue here in Texas, and right here in Dallas County.

Our DCRP Resolutions Committee has passed censure resolutions against the dead underbrush that is contributing to the out of control wildfires in Austin, Texas. These two State Representatives, Morgan Meyer and Angie Chen Button, have received letters informing them of our action to commence with a controlled burn. I support these resolutions because the danger we face is a Texas that will be burned to the ground because of individuals who would align themselves with progressive socialists in what should be a solid constitutional conservative state. It is my sincere hope that we will see new growth that will come from this action, as we clear away that which impedes a healthy political ecology for the Lone Star State.

It is also my sincere hope that these two so-called Republican representatives would face the Dallas County Executive Committee and explain their actions, which the resolutions name.

But, it is not just these two individuals who will be receiving letters informing them of a controlled burn. There are also quite a few DCRP Precinct Chairs who will be receiving letters. If we are to continue to have success in Dallas County and rid ourselves of the corrupt and ideological depraved leftists, we will need courageous men and women who will do the duty of rallying our numbers. Being a Precinct Chair in the DCRP is no longer reserved for folks who just want a title, in other words, dead underbrush. We want to have a green, fertile forest that thrives. In order for that to happen, we will cut away the deadly underbrush which only serves to fuel the fire of leftists. For far too long, the left has enjoyed ruining Dallas County with impunity, without firm challenge. We need a DCRP of mighty and strong trees, like the massive Redwoods, that stand strong and have their roots intertwined for support and strength.

If you are the recipient of said letters, you have a clear choice, ante up, or go away. As stated, with a controlled burn, one of the benefits is ecological restoration and new growth. I am looking for PCs that are not seeking some delusional self or special interest, but the interest of our home, Dallas County.

The DCRP is not a social club, or just a fun place to hang out. It is a place where the spirit of individual liberty, rights, and freedom shall burn brightly within each of us. If that is not your task/purpose, well, you might be getting a letter informing you of an impending controlled burn.

Additionally, I am highly disturbed that we have individuals in this county, in America, who are taking to the streets to protest against the deportations of criminal illegal immigrants in our community. That dead underbrush needs to be eradicated as well.

Steadfast and Loyal.
