Clements Unites Conservative and Liberty Grassroots
Mesilla - Tea Party patriots, Libertarian party members, business owners, Constitutional Conservatives, young liberty activists, Students for Ron Paul, and even disenchanted blue dog Democrats gathered Tuesday evening at Andeles, a popular Mexican restaurant off of New Mexico Highway 28, to learn more about the candidacy of DARP Chairman David Clements young bid for the United States Senate. The campaign had made a limited attempt to publicize the event to the pan-conservative grassroots in Dona Ana county. Clements was not expecting too many people to attend mainly because the high political apathy that many of the county's conservatives seem to espouse, if 20 concerned citizens showed up it would be considered a success.
Citizens began to trickle into the event 45 minutes before the publicized start time. Chips, salsa, iced teas and coffees accompanied passionate conversations while Clement's nominating petitions were signed. The many factions that attended this liberty meetup mirrored the microcosm of the Republican party nationwide. Minutes after he began his introduction and mission, people were still slipping through the door, I counted 51 people in the seats akwardly surrounding the candidate. Some in attendance were clearly there to serve as the Devil's Advocate but his answers clearly resonated with the room because of the amount of applause he received from the majority in attendance. Young, old, Hispanics, whites, conservatives, and libertarians were all energized by the constitutionally principled and concise message Clement's made. His style is genuine and humble, something voters are starved for and his background in law enforcement as a prosecutor provides pan-conservatism an advocate who can eloquently combat the progressive tyranny found in Washington D.C.
At the conclusion of the event many pledged support by writing checks to help fund his campaign and those who could not donate signed up as volunteers to help spread the message of Liberty that David cares so much about. This isn't the first time pan-conservatism has organized behind Clements, he was elected DARP chairman in a similar fashion. If he can unite a dysfunctional field of grassroots supporters in Dona Ana county, Clements can do so in every county throughout New Mexico. The state's establishment Republicans who are more comfortable with a compromised status qou and the robotic foot soldiers of the Democratic party better take note, there's a strong southern wind in Liberty's sails with David Clements at the helm.
