News from the liberterrain...

The good news just keeps coming for John Jay Myers, the Libertarian Party's choice to wrestle GOP Pete Sessions' US Congressional seat (Texas District 32) away from him.

First it was D Magazine owner and publisher Wick Allison who had so soured on Sessions that he gave Myers a published back-pat and a "Send Money!" shout (and then sent money himself) in July.

Then before that month was out distinguished Dallas attorney Eugene J. Flynn, another Sessions supporter, forsook that sinking ship and tipped his hat, and a check, to JJM.

Now comes word from the LP candidate that "Prominent Republican Precinct Chair Joel Bailey generously endorses me over Sessions."

Bailey made it clear in a Local Precinct.com posting headlined "Endorsement of John Jay Myers for Congress" why he was giving thumbs up to the Libertarian over his Republican Partymate.

"Mr. Myers promises to follow one rule if elected to serve in Congress: Restore individual liberty by following the Constitution."

He was equally straightforward about his reasons for separating from Sessions, bullet-pointing-out that Sessions voted for the 2008 Wall Street Bailout twice, the Patriot Act twice, foreign aid "numerous times," and for the second largest expansion of government healthcare.

"I am humbled, and relieved to see I am not the only one who understands just how bad Sessions is," Myers wrote to his supporters.

As one congratulatory email put it, "When will the average republican pull their heads out of their asses and recognize that people like Sessions are the problem -not the solution."
