Voter integrity, will it get better or worse in the next Texas legislative session? Special guest, Luke Macias, Texas-based political consultant

“It’s Hammer Time,” the popular Facebook Live and YouTube show at MCP.TV airing at 12 noon today, Friday, November 13, 2020, will feature former Conroe Mayor and former Lone Star Groundwater Conservation District (LSGCD) President Webb Melder. The show will discuss the “sunset” process in the 87th Texas Legislature with respect to the San Jacinto River Authority.

Melder is someone who speaks his mind and has become a fierce advocate for private property rights and for Montgomery County citizens’ need for substantially lower water bills. Melder has criticized both the LSGCD on which he served from 2017 to 2020 and the San Jacinto River Authority. Melder’s views are aligned, however, with the current LSGCD Board of Directors, which has fought for deregulation and property rights.

“It’s Hammer Time,” the popular Facebook Live and YouTube show at MCP.TV airing at 12 noon today, Friday, November 6, 2020, will feature highly respected – and feared – conservative political activist Ginger Russell, also known as “The Quiet Lady From Magnolia.” The show will discuss the November 3, 2020, General Election, the quagmire of results, and societal forces which are bringing down the United States of America.

Russell is a Republican Precinct Chair in the Magnolia area and has gained fame with her nickname, “The Quiet Lady From Magnolia,” which others have given to her. She’s one of the leading experts in the United States on the subject of unnecessary regulation of homeschooling. She stood up to Congressman Kevin Brady, his little helper Christian Collins, Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick, and others on the issue. The wording in the Republican Party of Texas Platform on homeschooling issues largely emanates from the work of Russell and her allies in the anti-regulation-of-homeschooling movement.

In the course of her work on homeschooling, Russell has become one of the leading authorities in Texas on curriculum development in public schools. Russell is truly the statewide and local watchdog fighting for traditional curricula that don’t include the indoctrination of children to support collectivism.

In the March 6, 2018, Republican Primary Election, Russell earned her moniker as “The Quiet Lady” in her amazing work for conservative icon Gregory Parker, the former County Commissioner who challenged the re-election of Precinct 2 County Commissioner Charlie Riley. Russell truly fired up the political activist troops to support Parker. She was everywhere for him in the campaign. Parker came very close to defeating the Republican-In-Name-Only Riley, who has voted for increased government spending, tollroads without voter approval, political cronyism in County contract awards, and transgender adoptions while opposing the Montgomery County law enforcement community at almost every turn. Parker versus Riley was a clear conservative versus liberal electoral contest, and Russell was the primary person who got that message out.

On August 14, 2018, one of the truly remarkable political occurrences happened in Montgomery County. The Magnolia Independent School District held a referendum to instigate a tax hike and utilized every trick available to the education bureaucracy to depress voter turnout of regular citizens and to favor educational bureaucrats who wanted the tax hike. Riley, his best friend former Sheriff Tommy Gage (a closet liberal who also seems to support higher government spending and tax increases whenever he has the chance), and Riley’s core supporters in the City of Magnolia all supported the Magnolia ISD tax hike.

But then came the tsunami of Russell and Kelli Cook. Almost their entire grassroots campaign against the tax hike was just the two of them. They walked door-to-door in key neighborhoods, created their own anti-tax campaign literature, advertised on the Internet, phone-banked (if that’s what you would call two people making thousands of telephone calls), and worked to get the anti-tax vote out during Early Voting and on the bizarre August 14 Election Day.

Russell and Cook beat the Magnolia ISD establishment like a drum in the August 14 election with 1,694 votes against the referendum to 1,603 votes in favor of it, a 51.38% to 48.62% result and a striking victory for two dynamic political forces. While the Magnolia ISD spent thousands of public dollars to promote the tax hike, Russell and Cook beat them like a drum on a dime.

“It’s Hammer Time,” the popular Facebook Live and YouTube show at MCP.TV airing at 12 noon today, Friday, October 30, 2020, will feature renowned political consultant Melanie Schoettle, and seasoned conservative Republican operative Adrian Kaiser for a special “November 3 General Election Predictions” episode. Schoettle is a graduate of Conroe High School. She studied advertising and public relations at Sam Houston State University in Huntsville. Schoettle is President of MediaGenics and a partner with Kristi Jones Leggett in Moxie Innovative, a public relations firm. Schoettle now only represents Republican Party clients in political races. Kaiser is a local businessman and the Precinct 66 Republican Party Precinct Chairman, a position to which he won re-election in March 2020. Kaiser is one of the leading conservatives in the Montgomery County Republican Party.
