The last damn thing we need in Texas is another woman-hating bully in the Texas House of Representatives.

We have a guy running for the state house from my county.  He’s a Republican.  David Hamilton claims that he was arrested in Kentucky, but it’s just political.  He likes to protest at women’s health clinics.

During one such stint outside a clinic in Kentucky in 2009, Hamilton said he was arrested for disorderly conduct after he attempted to get around a counter-protester. The charges were later dropped. The following year, U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder sued him for violating the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act – a case that was settled in 2013.

Settled?  Really?

I like his language of “getting around” a counter-protestor.  First, it was not a counter-protestor.  It was a clinic escort. Women attempting to enter this Lexington, Kentucky, clinic were so horribly harassed that other women volunteered  to escort them into the clinic to keep men who are 6 foot 6 inches tall, like David Hamiliton is, from screaming at them and attempting to use their bodies to block women from entering the clinic.

Hamilton’s “getting around” the escort meant that he physically attacked her and left a bruise.

He grabbed her arm and shoved her so hard that he bruised her.

And now he’s running for the Texas House of Representatives.

You can help us get the word out to the Democratic base by donating a few dollars right here.

Hamilton admitted to the office of U.S. Attorney Eric Holder that he was guilty and paid a $2,500 fine to his victim in 2013.

From his arrest report —-

 

He bruised her.  In Texas we call that an assault.

Here’s the first page of his agreement to pay the fine.

 

He did not “move” her.  He grabbed her and he shoved her with such violence that it left a bruise.  He did that to a woman.  And he’s proud of it.

Now take a look at this 6 foot 6 inch guy’s website.  Click the little one to see the big one.

His “high ethical standards” don’t include not hitting women.

Now here’s the clincher.

Republican Party of Texas Chairman Steve Munisteri said the party would consider allocating resources to Hamilton’s campaign. “There is a potential window of opportunity there, and we’re going to take a look at it.”

Texas Republicans are all behind this guy.  They are going to give him money to help him get elected.

Please defend a woman’s right to chose and help us defeat David Hamilton, please click here to help us fill out the “electoral restraining order” on David Hamilton.  We want to send a strong message that shoving women is unacceptable.  Any dollars you donate will be used to get out the Democratic vote in that race.

The Democratic incumbent in that race votes for women’s rights.  We need to keep him there.

Thank you for any help you can give us.  This guy scares me.
