Rebecca Cervera - Daughter of a King

“We hold these truths to be self evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.”

My name is Rebecca Cervera. On November 2nd, you have the option to employ me as your State Representative.

Growing up in a transient uneducated family of 13, I know first hand the complexities of poverty and the social ills created by lack of education and unused opportunity. I understand how the deterioration of culture and community acutely and permanently affects lives.

Yet by the grace of God and the hand of Providence, I was born in a nation conceived by those who believed in the intrinsic value of human life- a nation birthed from the loins of hunger for independence- a nation cultivated by the thirst for autonomy and private ownership. I believe that no other state in the union exemplifies the extraordinary spirit of these United States as does the great state of TEXAS.

I have never been a politician or involved in any other political campaign. I am a small business owner, a mother of four boys, a literacy advocate, and most importantly, a very concerned citizen. WE are concerned citizens.

We are concerned with the direction our country is heading. We are concerned about the future of our children. We are concerned with the diminishing opportunities to leave a tangible legacy to our posterity. We are concerned about the systematic breakdown of our culture.

We are concerned with the destructive liberal and progressive philosophies and policies that have infiltrated our government and are destroying our ability to EARN a living, to OWN revenue generating property, and voluntarily SERVE our fellow man.

We are concerned that these policies have found advocates in our Texas State House of Representatives and that “We The People” are no longer being represented by federal, state, or local delegates. We are concerned that we have no public defender of our clear conservative family and fiscal values.

This Legislative session will be met with an estimated 18 to 22 billion dollar budget shortfall. Our citizens have unequivocally expressed that wasteful spending must be curbed and further tax increases are not acceptable.

1.) Your incumbent has publicly committed to raise taxes and to use the rainy day fund in lieu of cutting waste and spending on ineffective programs.

2.) Your incumbent has spent nearly $300,000 on her re-election bid. Most of that money came from special interest groups outside our district. These groups do not and can not represent our families.

3.) Your incumbent has accepted over $66,000 from pro-abortion groups who proudly endorse her as they seek to promote progressive candidates and the Obama agenda in our state.

In contrast, our campaign is a reflection of the renaissance of our community and country. Every endorsement, every dollar, every event has been an unsolicited, volunteer effort. We have spent less than $15,000. Each penny was given by people who believe in our state and our cause. We have refused to accept special interest money or pay contract labor to raise signs and reach people. Together we have run an effective and successful grassroots effort.

Our community is ready for a representative who will foment relationships without compromising constituents. Our community is ready for a delegate who derives leadership from servanthood. Our community is ready to engage in state policy and influence the laws under which we are required to run our businesses and families.

Our community believes in the intrinsic right to LIFE, the endowment of personal liberty, and the unencumbered pursuit of happiness. Now that we have risen, we must continue to stand.

Peace and Prosperity to you, your families, and your businesses. To November 2nd and Beyond, we truly are in this together.

WE ARE LIVING EXCITING TIMES, MY FRIENDS!

To my delight, the self evident truths of our right to LIFE, LIBERTY, and the pursuit of HAPPINESS are once again at the forefront of coffee talk, general conversation, and political debate.

We are finally studying and returning to our Founding Documents as we seek a more comprehensive understanding of the foundation of our political structure. We are actively connecting with like minded folks and openly discussing the issues that matter most to our families and communities.

As we increase our level of education, commitment, and compassion, we are more willing than ever to challenge ourselves and others with mindful and respectful debate. Most importantly, we are seeking to better understand and become INVOLVED in the democratic process of our great nation.

Whether we are running for office, supporting candidates, educating others, or practicing responsible election, we share the PRIVILEGE and mandate to participate. May we consider it a true HONOR to live and engage in such a time as this.

Peace, Prosperity, and unencumbered Joy be your week, fellow Liberty Lover!

Dear Rebecca:

Today, I am pleased and proud to announce my endorsement of your candidacy for Texas House District 41.   After reviewing your background and your position statements on the critically important issues facing the 41st District and the entire State of Texas, I have no doubt that you understand the difficulties facing us today and in particular, the needs and desires of  “WE THE PEOPLE.”

I trust that you will bring the necessary leadership, sound economic understanding, and experience that are vitally needed. We are in dire need of principled public servants who will put loyalty to the Constitution and the principles that guarantee our freedom ahead of party affiliation, money, and special interests. I believe you will keep that oath as a Representative in Austin.  Your dedication to conservative values, fiscal discipline, and family values will serve the good folks of the 41st District and Texas well.

I commend you for your stand on the sanctity of the Constitution, preserving financial autonomy and economic stability achieved through minimal taxation, competitive free markets, and preservation of property ownership. I also appreciate your stand on individual responsibilities to preserve  and protect their own life, liberty, and property as well as that of their  fellow citizens.

I wish you Godspeed in your campaign, and I will be encouraging others to support your candidacy in the forthcoming election.  You may communicate my endorsement to the voters as you see fit. 
 
Respectfully, 

Paul E. Vallely

To possess great passion we must willingly become vulnerable
to disappointment, disillusion, and probable pain.

May we never be satisfied with
superficial works and meaningless discourse.

May we seize indulgence in
fickle flattery and transient diversion.

May we wholly and habitually
find meaning in tribulation and bless the marvelous.

May we be more than a mechanically simulated conformist.
May we be a more than a grain of sand among the infinite .
May we be more than a flicker of light in an endless galaxy.

May we resign misplaced!
May we relinquish mediocre!
May we abandon the road well traveled!

Perhaps purpose is worth our present discomfort.
Perhaps honor is a worthy reward unto itself.

May we believe in hope!
May we believe in truth!
May we believe in passion!

May we become that which we believe in.
