Texans
chose to vote Republican better than 2-to-1 over Democrat in the 2010
Primary Election. In Burleson County, the Republican Party was
preferred 3.5 to 1! We are honored to find that so many of our
neighbors realize that the values they have always held are now best
exemplified by the Republican Party.

BC-GOP's Annual "Fall Fest" A
Success - October 19, 2009
The Burleson County GOP held its
annual "Fall Fest" with a great turnout. Featured speaker, Texas
Education Board Member Don McLeroy, gave us some real insight into the
Education Board's influence on what Texas and many of the nation's
children are being taught. Even more interesting was the changes
that conservatives are being able to make that will significantly help
children succeed in the real world.
Burleson
County Celebrates July 4th, 2009 With A Tea Party!
Davidson
Creek Park's Porter Farms Pavilion was the site of Burleson County's
second Tea Party!
There was lots of shade, sausage wraps, TEA, music, and
surprises! There were also lots of signs making it clear that
Congress's "Spend Now" binge isn't what "Change" is all about. If
the signs didn't make the point, the speakers on the Soapbox did.

Election Shows Burleson County Squarely Conservative
With
6,664 of the county's 11,234 registered voters casting votes in this

locally in
14 out of 15 contested races and gained four more where they had no
opposition. For the first time in Burleson County history,
more straight "Republican Party Ticket" votes (1,912) were
cast
than straight "Demoncrat Party Ticket" votes (1,372) ... by a 60% to
40% margin! For race-by-race details see our 2008
