Patrick Gillespie for Congress, Texas District 33

I’m running for Congress because I've had enough of watching the U.S.A. devolve into overt Marxist actions, which will tear our country apart. I will do my best to halt the progression of Communist principles infecting everything from our school boards to our military. Lenin Stated: “Get one generation of children indoctrinated into communism, and you will have that country on the path to communism.”

I plan to manage constituent requests efficiently, with my staff on the same message: respond to inquiries quickly, hold regular town hall meetings, use surveys effectively, and employ multimedia elements.

There are more than one million people that become U.S. citizens yearly. We must have immigrants vetted and not allow an invasion of tens of thousands crossing our border illegally daily. Weak leadership must stop enticing people to travel from all over the world, causing a humanitarian crisis throughout Central America and Mexico. If you want to address the crisis humanely, take action on the Mexico side of the border.

Peace through Strength. With weak U.S. leadership, other countries are attempting to overthrow us via electronic surveillance, purchasing 43.5 million acres of U.S. land, and economic influence, particularly by China. Since U.S. citizens cannot purchase land in China, we should stop selling land to China, especially around military bases.

Let’s look at what the countries that pollute the environment are doing. China just completed building 52 coal-burning electric generating plants. India generates 401 gigawatts of electricity through their coal-burning electric generation plants, with an increase of 40% more electric generation from coal-burning plants in the next 8 years. Brazil keeps burning down the rainforest. All these countries have exemptions under the Paris climate accords until the year 2070 because they are “developing countries”? The U.S. can switch to natural gas for all the electric generation done by coal in the U.S. Plus, get out of the Paris Climate Accords and demand our money back.

We have the correct laws in place: photo ID. You need a photo ID to board an airplane. Buy a legal gun. Open a bank account. The states that offer photo IDs to illegal immigrants are breaking the law. If a person doesn’t have a birth certificate, they can write to the Census Bureau and have a copy of the last census showing their address and age at the time of the census as proof to get a government-approved ID. My grandfather didn’t have a birth certificate, and that is how he received substantiation of his lawful rights to get a government I.D.

I believe that we need better focus on mental health because anything in the hands of a person with mental health issues could be used as a weapon. Red flag laws are proving not to be a deterrent to gun violence. I would advocate those laws on the books be enforced. I will not propose the abolition of the 2nd Amendment. Gang violence must be addressed, and gang members must have prison sentences that have no parole.

10 MILLION ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS! Enforce the laws on the books!! Woke policies being taught in the school systems and having the FBI knocking on the doors of parents speaking out at school board meetings as Domestic Terrorists under the FBI threat tag school board threat. Get rid of the threat tag! 32 TRILLION DOLLARS INDEBT! Stop spending money we don’t have! Balance the budget and pay down the debt with any surplus. TACKLE THE FENTANYL POISONING EPIDEMIC! This is the number one killer of our young adults and children between the ages of 19 and 40. The pushers of this poison should be charged with Capital Murder.
