Not a Secessionist Candidate
RECEIVED Thu., Jan. 7, 2010
Dear Editor,
Re: “And They're Off!” [News, Jan. 8]: You're right – it is difficult to keep up with all of the candidates. Please correct your mistake: Debra Medina is not a secessionist – she supports state nullification and interposition. Never has she endorsed secession. Watch any of her interviews or read her website. Thank you.

[Richard Whittaker replies: Let's go back to what Medina said on Aug. 29, 2009: "We are here today to talk about sovereignty or secession. I am here today to encourage the Texas Legislature and the governor of the state of Texas to defend the sovereignty of this great state. To defend in a fierce and vigilant way in which they have never defended before, and I'm here to remind them that our founders gave us ability to do that. We are aware that stepping off into secession may in fact be a bloody war. We are aware. We understand that the tree of freedom is occasionally watered with the blood of tyrants and patriots." Even if the claim made by Medina's supporters that she is merely suggesting a fresh deployment of state nullification and interposition can be accepted, what it would represent is a Balkanization of the United States.]
