THE SPEECH<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As I see it, there are at least four things I need to win this election: God’s Blessing, A Hope and A Prayer, And Everybody in the District Voting and Praying for me to win. It is my hope and prayer that you travel this journey<\/em><\/strong> with me<\/em>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Joke <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

What’s a Blue Dog Democrat? A Dinosaur. A Fiscally Conservative Democrat. What’s a Yellow Dog Democrat? A Democrat who would vote for a Yellow Dog before they would vote for a Republican. What’s a Red Dog Democrat? A RINO Republican who is more loyal to their Political Corporate Masters and Democrat Allies than they are to their Constituents.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n

The True Representative<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before he was a Republican, Ralph Hall was a True “Blue Dog” Democrat. He was a man truly worthy of respect. He is a Great model of what a Representatives should be to the people of his district. If you had ever met Ralph Hall, you\u2019d agree that he was one of the few good people in politics. He was instantly a friend. He took care of his constituents. This is what a representative is supposed to do for his district.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

History<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

My Name is Don Horn. I am a U.S. Navy Veteran. After the military, I worked my way through college. My wife and I met in college. We raised our five children on our farm in Grayson County, Texas.  <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are at the age of retirement. We had no desire to take on any new projects. We looked forward to living out a nice quiet retirement. However, we can no longer ignore the reality of the world around us. <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am not a politician. I\u2019m just an old guy trying to fix a major problem in this country. China is screwing this country. The politicians are rolling in Communist China\u2019s money like  \u201cPIGS ROLLING IN A HOG WALLOW.\u201d  (Look at Mitch McConnell. He passed money around like water. His wife’s father owned a large Communist Chinese shipping company. Look at Eric Swalwell and his girl friend Fang Fang. The list of examples is nearly endless.)<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Go look at the judge in Rains County who supposedly threatened to have a defendant killed in jail if he did not sign a plea agreement. Look around you. See what is going on in our country. Corruption is more than just what’s happening in Congress. Corruption is like a foul smelling fungus permeating throughout our whole society.<\/em><\/strong><\/em><\/strong> I\u2019m angry- I\u2019m mad- and I\u2019m Fighting!<\/em><\/strong><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

My wife and I are just everyday working people who have had enough of the stench of corruption in our country.  I have a Bachelor\u2019s degree from California Baptist College in Religion & Sociology. My wife was born in Communist China, raised in Hong Kong. She migrated to this country in 1986. She has her Master\u2019s Degree in Nursing. She has worked as a nurse since 1975<\/em><\/strong>, and as an ICU nurse since 1980.<\/em><\/strong><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

My Dad was born and raised In Ripley County<\/em><\/strong><\/em><\/strong>, Missouri. Mom was born and raised in Hot Springs, Arkansas.<\/em><\/strong> My parents met and married in California (after my dad was mustered out of the Army, at the end of World War 2.) <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

My mom\u2019s family followed the migration of the dust bowl immigrants in the 1930\u2019s. They traveled from Arkansas to California working in the produce industry. They eventually settled in Modesto, CA. This is where my parents met and married. They settled on the Mexican Border near El Centro, California.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

My mom, dad and mom\u2019s extended family followed the produce industry. They traveled preset routes of the produce migration. They were “shed” and “field” workers. Every winter they worked on the Mexican Border and every summer they worked in the area from Salinas to Modesto. The life was hard seasonal work with long hours. Moving was a constant migration in the produce industry. Our family were produce workers- \u201cFruit Tramps\u201d as they were proudly known.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1959 Uncle Jerry (Jerry Breshears, Mom\u2019s brother) went to work for the AFL-CIO local 78B- Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Workers Union. He quickly worked his way to being the General Secretary of Local 78B. Uncle Jerry negotiated with the packing sheds from the California\/Mexican Border to Sacramento California, all of Nevada & Arizona. According to family History, it was Uncle Jerry who helped Cesar Chavez organize the United Farm Workers Union. (Cesar was born in Yuma, Arizona, about fifty miles east of Holtville, California, where Uncle Jerry lived.) Uncle Jerry was the first of our family to graduate from college. After Uncle Jerry, My brother Mike and myself were among the first family members to graduate from college.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Social Work<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a teenager I began working with church youth groups. About this same time my older brother started working with CHARLEE Family Care. (CHARLEE is an acronym for: Children Have All Rights Legal Educational and Emotional.) For several years, after the Navy, I worked part time as a relief parent in the group homes for disadvantaged teenagers. Simultaneously, I worked full time for ARC (The Association for Retarded Citizens). I worked there for several years. First I started working in the group homes. Then I taught in the school for the severely and profoundly retarded clients. <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1989, after graduating from college, my wife and I moved to Richardson, Texas. In 1997, we bought our small farm in Grayson County, Texas. We raised our five children on our farm.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

My Values<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

My values have been shaped by what I have seen and experienced throughout my life.<\/em><\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

My early years, growing up in a migrant family was not easy. It was hard seasonal work with long hours. In the Navy, as an Operation Specialist, my job description was: To assimilate, evaluate and disseminate information with advice and opinions. Preachers do the same job with their sermons and Bible studies. Sociology is the same process- gather, evaluate and disseminate information into reports. <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Life is a constant exercise in gathering and evaluating information and overcoming problems. Our problem is that the professional politicians have lost all regard for the people. We need to take back our government. We need people in government who fight for us.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why should you vote for me?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

My wife & I moved to Texas, out of college, in 1989. We have worked, lived and raised our family in this area, near Dorchester since 1997. I\u2019m going through all the same battles as everyone else in Our District.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I grew up on the Mexican Border. Either you learned to fight and survive, or you didn\u2019t survive. I grew up in an extreme Democrat family. Half of the US Congressmen from California were friends with my mother and my brothers. Back in the 1970\u2019s & 1980\u2019s, I met several of them at my brother\u2019s kitchen table. I can vehemently disagree with their belief\u2019s, morals, ideology and still respect them as friends and colleagues. I grew up in that world. I left it behind me. They offered me everything to run as a Democrat.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am a Christian. I am a Republican. I am Fighting for my Country. How could I look Jesus in the Eye As a Democrat? The Democrats want to be Communists. The Communist have killed hundreds of millions of people.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
