Democrats are illegally using personal information in order to turn Texas blue
The Democrats have always had a long-term goal of turning Texas blue and who can blame them? If Texas ever votes Democratic in the future the prospects of the Republicans ever winning a national election are dim at best.
This, in my opinion, is the reason for their push to grant amnesty to illegal aliens; they know that one day these former illegals will be granted the franchise and when that happens it is likely that Texas will become a blue state and once that happens the Republican party will be relegated to near obscurity on the national level.
That is the long-term goal, but the Democrats also have a short-term goal which they believe will help them accomplish their long-term goal and that is the election of Wendy Davis.
Texas is so important to the plan that they are willing to do whatever it takes in order to ensure Wendy Davis wins her election bid, by hook or by crook.
We are just learning about Battleground Texas, a Democratic group helping Wendy Davis to win election, and how the group has been caught on tape illegally using voters’ personal data to turn out the vote for their new heroine.
The footage shows Battleground Texas volunteer Jennifer Longoria saying the group uses the phone numbers from voter registration forms in later efforts to boost turnout on election day.
Texas Election Code prohibits the use of, or even the copying of, phone numbers provided by individuals registering to vote.
“Every time we register somebody to vote, we keep their name, address, phone number,” Longoria said.
The video also shows volunteers calling to boost turnout for Wendy Davis’s gubernotorial bid.
The new revelations are likely to add to concerns about an apparent culture of data sharing among Democrat-aligned political and nonprofit organizations.
Chalk this one up to the age old mantra of the end justifies the means. Eric Holder, who has previously gone after Texas for its voter ID laws, is sure to follow up on this activity, isn’t he?
There is no doubt in my mind that Eric Holder will open up an instigation into this. However, he will investigate James O’Keefe for illegally recording and exposing this scheme rather than investigating Battleground Texas for the group’s apparent illegal activity, which is quite ironic considering the Federal government is illegally collecting the data of virtually every single American’s phone calls.

You’re kidding – O’Keefe?
Even you’re ashamed of him – you don’t even bring up his name until the very last paragraph.
He’s the Leni Riefenstahl of the Republican Party.

No, I am not ashamed of him or I wouldn’t have written this post in the first place. His tactics might not be legal, and neither were Snowden’s, but they are exposing corruption in the Federal government and they are willing to risk jail time for this.
Remember that post where we discussed who is going to watch the watchers? These men are two who are.
I notice you did not defend Battleground Texas and that is because you know what they are doing is wrong regardless of how they were exposed. When the government, and its agents, are engaged in illegal activity sometimes it takes drastic measures to expose what they are doing.

Steve, the illegality of his tactics is based on the fact that he twists and manipulates the footage he records to make it appear as if the people he’s taping are saying something they’re not. And his “interview techniques” are just as deceptive. What he does, what he’s been caught doing on multiple occasions, is bear false witness against his neighbor. And when he uses those deceptive techniques to defame people, that’s illegal.
And that’s why I haven’t discussed Battleground Texas – not because I support them doing what O’Keefe claims they’re doing, but because if it comes from O’Keefe, a convicted liar, I can’t take it at face value. Fact is, until I read your post yesterday, I’d never heard of Battleground Texas, and I somehow doubt you had either, considering we both live in different states.
I’ll be looking into it more over the next few days, though.
Take good care and may God bless us all!

You are right, I have never heard about Battleground Texas before, which is why I wrote: “We are just learning about Battleground Texas.”
I will give you this; I should have said ‘Are Democrats’ instead of ‘Democrats are’ in the title to this post, for we still do not know if this is true or not. But in writing about O’Keefe you summed up the way I feel about the Federal government. I do not trust them at all.

It would be nice if no one played dirty. But, Democrats have always bent and/or broken the rules to advance their palyers. So, if a Republican uses a dirty trick to catch a cheating Democrat, maybe that’s the way the game has to be played.

So this Texas law that’s allegedly been broken – what does it say, exactly? Not O’Keefe’s interpretation of what he wishes it says, or Breitbart’s. The actual text.

Some legislators in Texas are now calling for an investigation, so it seems like the law might have been violated. I don’t have the text of the law, but you would think these legislators know what it says, but then again, I wouldn’t be surprised if they did not know either.

There are a lot of laws in each state – I’d actually be surprised if legislators did know them. And the fact that some legislators call for an investigation of something has no real bearing on whether or not a law’s been broken or not. I suspect the lawmakers you’re talking about are getting their faces in front of cameras and saying something non-controversial like “Was a law broken? Let’s put together a committee to investigate.”
The law says the registrar may not photocopy the applications unless certain information’s been redacted, including the phone number, but there’s nothing in the law preventing or prohibiting the volunteers who gather the registration applications from copying the ones they collect before they turn them in. Likewise, the Texas Secretary of State’s instructions to volunteers who register voters specifically say that those volunteers may copy the applications.
The reason for the prohibition against the Registrar of Voters making un-redacted copies is apparently to prevent their sale or mass publication. The volunteers who collect applications are doing neither.
Take good care and may God Bless Us All!
