Lon Burnam (TX)

 

•“Three years ago I was a Republican, now I’m an Independent… The things they did, they pissed all over us… What they’re doing here is the biggest assault on private property rights that I’ve ever heard or seen, and they’re supposed to be conservatives. That’s one of the founding principles of conservativism, is private property rights, and you got no private property rights. Not in Texas at least” – Calvin Tillman, Mayor, Dish, TX
