Update: I contacted Dan Patrick this morning and hope to have a reply today.

OK… thanks Shirliann for starting the blog. Here’s more info….

Texas State Senator, Dan Patrick, was on FoxNews this morning at 8:45am. He said he had some “breaking news to share”. Boy was it!!! The Texas State Legislature had been trying very hard to get the Obama Administration to respond to a critical situation on the Texas Border. The Administration had not gotten back with Texas as of last night. So the State of Texas told Washington D.C. basically they could go jump, and “we’ll take care of Texas!”. As of last night… the Texas National Guard has been put on High Alert!!! This is the first time in history! Texas tried, desperately to get Washington’s approval… but when they could not get it… they acted on their own. Which I say…. it’s about damn time!!! I personally applaud the guts it took to defy the Fed’s and act in our best interest! In case you are unaware of what the problems are …. Sen. Dan Patrick spelled it out nicely!

1) 100’s of PRO-DRUG CARTEL Mexicans were blocking the entrance to the United States, yesterday and today, banging cars, shouting and holding signs. 10 people were killed Wed. and 12 more yesterday at the border (5 of which were children!!!)
2) They aren’t sure … but they think the Drug Cartel is paying the demonstrators to do what they’re doing.
3) This will spill over into the States! Mr. Patrick, and the other State officials,. are convinced that road-side bombs and car bombs will make it across the border and WILL NOT allow that to happen!!
4) Mexico is breaking out in Civil War in the western part of the border and they expect it to spread the entire border with no end in sight.
5) The National Guard will be activated as the scenario worsens and is on Alert now and will remain so until (and IF) Washington does something to end the danger on the border (Yeah… like that’s gonna happen!).

FoxNews has yet to put this on their website which absolutely ticks me off!!!! I will post it IF they get the stones to do what’s right!

For now… here’s a link that will take you to a story on Feb. 12th that will help explain a lot.

Let’s pray it doesn’t come to this…. but in reality… Texas could be in a Civil War (actually it would be an international incident) with Mexico very soon if this isn’t quelled. Just so you folks know…. the four Militia Groups that are here in Texas will be put on alert this evening. This has gotten REAL, REALLY FAST!

God help us… as we do what is necessary.

Source? Considering how badly written this little article is, both in style and in capitalization, it holds ZERO credibility without a source.

Does not seem to be a lot of confidence in the accuracy of this , judging from the rating ……………

Rycharde said in February 23rd, 2009 at 8:11 am

Lots of low votes and zero comments… and zero confirmation in any corporate media website. So, is this story true or are we seeing a media embargo on this to save face for the Obama admin?

The video with the Texas Senator stating all this can be found here: http://mountainsteps.blogspot.com

There is also a link to some footage filmed during one of the battles by a Mexican News Reporter.

This was not written as a hardcore article but a hasty news update for the Texas Group of that website. By the way, a copy of the interview has finally surfaced.

I just got this from a reputable source in Texas:
I have just gotten off the phone with Sen. Dan Patricks District Office regarding the emails that are being passed around that are headlined.

****!!!!! State Senator Dan Patrick… “TEXAS NATIONAL GUARD ON ALERT”!!!!!****

Since I was unable to find any other mention of this headline and the fact that it is the governor who issues releases about the National Guard there was an *odor* about this email in my mind.

My call to his Austin office was an experience of a office staffer that needed more sleep than he got. That is what prompted me to call the District office where my call was handled promptly and efficiently. When the staffer at the District office got the information she called me back and provided the information I was seeking.

What Sen. Patrick said on the FOX program was that the Governor has PLANS of what to do when violence increases at the border. There is a difference between *PLANS* and the above headline that is on so many emails circulating nationwide…. making it appear that Sen. Patrick stated that the Texas National Guard was placed on HIGH ALERT. That is NOT what he said in spite of someone typing it out to appear that Sen. Patrick said that.

I am not sure if the person who created that headline was intending to create fear or inciting some lesser than intelligent folks to ACT.

This is the kind of thing we must all be vigilant about when we forward material out with a source and the link to that source. It is one thing for something to be an *OPINION* by someone who signs their Op/Ed and another to post items that APPEAR to be fact in how they are written.

Let’s all take a good look at material that comes to us and check it for:
1. who sent it?
2. is there a verifiable source URL to go check it?
3. Is it presented as Opinion or as Fact?
4. If you read something on some web site and want others to read it include the URL AND the
entire article. Not everyone has the time to guess or wait to load another page.

Creditability is all we have on the net so let’s not lose it. If something doesn’t seem right then don’t send it out - even with a disclaimer of not having checked it out as some will take the fact that you sent it to mean it is ok because you have a reputation of being a good source.

I hope this clears up the concerns many have had about the Texas National Guard being on *High Alert*. They aren’t.

The comment in this post that the Texas Guard is on “High Alert” is a false comment. In none of the articles, or associated article, is there a hint that the TXNG is on alert. As the commander of a company in the TXNG, who also has an affiliation with 2 high level members of the JFTX command, I can tell you this is patently “FALSE”. The TXNG/ANG is NOT on HIGH ALERT… The only recent item is a state wide message “TXALL” that forbids any member in a “paid” status in the TX Guard from going to Mexico. This was just put out last night.

Due Diligence people.. You embarrass yourself with these type of post. Thank God only Brownfield was foolish enough to broadcast this info.

It’s about time. Glad to see Texas stand proud and tall on this issue. I’ll support them anyway I can if called. I love Texas and wish I was there now to rally and support the troops. I was a member of the Texas Air Guard @ San Antonio in the 60’s . God Bless all Texans and TEXAS.

Dear Senator Patrick:

I just want to show my SUPPORT for you in your decision
to use Texas National Guard on the Mexican border. It’s time
we Texans look out for ourselves since it is obvious that Obama isn’t interested, or isn’t capable.
I say the Texas legislature should exercise it’s prerogative to become INDEPENDENT once again, but that’s another story.

Best wishes,

John King
