On a Scourge Facing the Youth of Texas

October 11, 2010 News

The death toll has already begun. One teenage victim has already died this year. I am truly saddened by this and my heart goes out to his friends and family. While K2, a synthetic form of marijuana, has caused some 250 hospitalizations in Texas this year, the carnage from this scourge is far worse: averaging [...]

From a Coffee Klatch for Kless

October 11, 2010 News

Last Thursday, Dale and Donna Heidenreich of Plano, were kind enough to open their home to me for a Coffee Klatch for Kless (and an evening wine and cheese). Over a dozen friends and neighbors were in attendance and the message of my campaign we well received. If you are interested in holding one of [...]

On Unfunded Liabilities

October 5, 2010 News

While there is much talk in the Texas media about the budget shortfall of $21 billion. I think the more important issue is the unfunded liability of $193 billion (and rising every year.) This is according to the National Center for Policy Analysis, Policy Report No. 329 by Courtney Collins and Andrew J. Rettenmaier, published [...]

While I did not receive the North Texas Tea Party endorsement two weeks ago at the candidate forum, I did receive the personal endorsement of one of its leaders, Michael Openshaw.

October 2, 2010 News

Funny story and true story. Last month at a Labor Day rally in Frisco, this attractive young woman approached my table asking, “Are you Sean Kless’ Dad?” “That’s me,” I said. It turns out Christy is a teacher at my son’s preschool. My son Sean has better name recognition than I do. So, please if [...]

OK, so that is not exactly what she meant!

September 30, 2010 News

During the Allen Area Patriots Candidate Forum last Thursday, my opponent, Senator Florence Shapiro, was being facetious in speculating on what Texas might look like if Libertarians were in power. The response, however, was not what she planned. I would love for FoxNews to do one of their “body language” assessments. Thanks for Bryan McAninch, [...]

A Confluence of Two Ideas

September 30, 2010 News

In an article on texting while driving in the Christian Science Monitor yesterday, two ideas that I talk about on this blog came together. First, the idea of politicians not understanding unintended consequences of the laws they pass. I have no doubt that most politicians (including my opponent Senator Shapiro) truly want to help their [...]

On Yard Signs

September 30, 2010 News

This is funny! I received a “friendly reminder” from my home owners association about the fact that I had displayed two “Elect Kless” signs (one in each of the front windows). Well, they have been taken down and replaced by the one yard sign. Of course, there is printing on both the front and the [...]
