Dear Friends of liberty and limited government
I am contacting you to ask for your assistance in launching my
campaign for Montgomery County Judge.
On December 15, 2009 I filed intent to run as an independent
candidate for County Judge in Montgomery County.
Some people say there is no compelling reason to make a change on
the commissioners court. My campaign and website argue the numerous
reasons for change.
If I am to be elected I need your assistance in obtaining 500 signatures
to secure a place on the ballot against Alan Barber Sadler, Banker and
Real Estate Mogul who is also FIVE time incumbent on the
Commissioners Court.
Your help in obtaining even one signature is highly appreciated.
I have just completed a campaign web page which explains the
reasons for running and I think, clarifies my position on key issues.
I have also prepared a page explaining
the rules for gathering petition signatures for an independent candidate
for County Judge.
If you like what you read on my web page and agree with me that we
need to change the commissioners court then I hope also you will
forward this email or my website to your friends who share the desire
for conservative limited government under God.
This Page explains petition signatures
This Page explains why i'm running and a little about me
This Page explains my platform
Sincerely and with thanks.

"Like a Breath of Fresh Air" Mr. Heath enters the County Judge race!
The voters appear to have a very real alternative to Mr. Sadler. Thank you for posting the link to your site here.
Who can argue with the insightful logic of your "positiion" on drunk driving convictions by public servants.
I enjoyed reading not only your positions on county matters but your down-to-earth style of connecting with the readers.
Your "platform" is one that I can get behind 100%. Go……Mr. Heath. Where do I send my contribution to your campaign??
I would encourage everyone who is eligible to sign Mr. Heath's petition to get his name on the November ballot as an Independent candidate for County Judge (Alan B. Sadler's seat). To see if you are eligible to sign just click on the page link that explains "petition signatures".
This is the citizen's chance to replace Mr. Sadler (with all his negative "baggage" exposed on this site over the past year) with a "citizen activist" with sensible, logical, fair sounding proposals that just might make our community a whole lot better and safer, too.

I like all of this and it sounds good. I just do not understand the system at all and this is why I do not vote. If you want to run for an elected office then you should be allowed to do so without all this petition CRAP!
The system is so broken in todys society it is not even funny. We have a county judge (laughing stalk) of the community, that can drink and drive and his good ol boys at the PD (Sheriff Off) where ever just kick they boots up on a desk and allow it. This Judge from what I have seen runs from paying taxes, switches names on companies like his underware and no one does one thing about this. Oh yeah the people have done some thing they re-elect this scum bag poor excuse for a Judge.
Which leads me to my next point Mr. Heath I commend your efforts but the people in charge of this County will do every thing they can to block your efforts. What it's no big deal right after all the County Judge is a crook! The power has been taken away from us (The People)! I would love to see some one get elected that the system does not corrupt! What I mean is this, many good people such as your self have fought hard to get elected but once elected to office they give into corruption. Cause that is the easy way of doing things.
I by no means am disrespecting you or your effort. I am Desert Storm vet and I love this land very much so. I believe people need to look around and see what is going on in our local Gov. then look at State Gov. then maybe look at Federal Gov.. People do not stop and think where does it all start at well I believe it all starts at HOME here in the COUNTY!
The crime rate in Montgomery Co. is terrible why? People have nothing better to do the easy way remember. Some would say crime don't pay while other's argue oh yes it does. Let's look at that for a moment here when some one breaks the law they usually go to jail unless you are a member of the (GOOD OL BOY GOOK SQUAD)! Then they have to make a bond, then hire an attorney, or get one of (THE GOOD OL BOYS) appointed, then go to court most get slapped on the wrist with probation that is a joke believe me I know. All the while the tax payers are footing the bill. Why can't we make people that go to our county jail pay for their own food or work while there, instead they lay up on their back side watching color cable t.v. all paid for by folks who do not have these luxiries at home hummmm! So yeah it's pretty good deal. Then they right back on the streets commiting another crime it's over and over.
The office of the County Judge should be looking more into these kind of issues rather than roads and how can we suck some kind of money from the Federal Gov. by coming up with some kind of road project. When the last thing this County needs is roads they can not maintaine we got plenty of them right now. There are alot of positions with in this County that could be eliminated and done away with. Why go to any local Govt. office and take a look around how many people are actually working and how many sitting around joking and living it up?? Not careing one minuet about the person standing in line to get some thing done, taking time off work etc. so they can pay these jokers salries. It's on and on.
I am just simply saying I hope you do get elected and if so that first day while you are sitting in that seat remember my words here. I just feel like these officals are spending to much time trying to come up with complicated solutions to simple problems. Looking to benifit the (GOOD OL BOYS) not having one care about this County. I believe if you take care of the simple things there will be no complications.
Create jobs that people will enjoy and make this community safe, bussnisess will want to move here with jobs and benifits for all! No one wants to move their company to a community that is corrupt in the County Judge's seat.
I thank you for your time reading this post. If you would like to communicate with me on some more ideas I have feel free to e-mail me at newtonkevindody@yahoo.com

I have a similar opinion to you on the notion of petition signatures for ballot access. Just another way to ensure only the "approved" candidates can run.
I come from a country where Statism has gone too far for too
long, where you are required to vote by law. So I accept and your decision not to vote as your right as a free man.
The thing is, now more than ever we must get involved in the fight for
good government and much more. If I am elected then I will be sold out to a special interest just like the rest. But that special interest must be the
taxpayer and the principles of limited government.
Whoever is in “power” needs to constantly be reminded where they
came from and whom they serve. So whatever the outcome in November we all need to get involved while we still have that privilege. Today government at all levels is listening to the wrong voices like bankers and big business and in many cases to intergovernmental interests.
I don’t recommend taking a bus ride ore plane ride to DC to
“Take America Back” although I applaud the motives of those who do, the
plunderers in DC are too far gone. They are not listening. Besides, much of
what they do up there is not their proper role if you believe in limited
government defined by the objective standard of the Constitution. No, I believe we “Take America Back” one county at a time. There are 3160 counties in the United States. Thanks be to God, we only need to concern ourselves with one. We can make the biggest difference here at home, in fact we must.
We have no business running all over creation telling other
jurisdictions how to suck eggs, It’s like complaining about your neighbors dog messing on your lawn when your dog is bigger, eats more and runs all over the neighborhood. We need to dismantle BIG government here at home first. So what if I am elected? Well I need to be held accountable to the founders’ principles. Just like everyone else. I need to be reminded that the supposed needs of government come second to the well being of the people who pay.
If DC were to fail (more than it has) then we still have to deal with local government and people like you need to play their part in assuring we have good government. So maybe you wont vote but you can influence
others to make right choices and quit settling for government as usual.
The old quote seems like a Cliché these days but it is still true.
Evil will triumph so long as good men do nothing.
I recommend Nehemiah Chapter 2 also.

Mr. Heath
You are right on target with me here, and I am so glad to see that there are people like you still around. We have to take this County back and be firm about what it is that you are intending to do! I sent you an e-mail and am looking so forward to hearing from you concerning what we need to do to get you on that BALLOT in November. I am willing to register to vote if you are willing to stand and I MEAN STAND STRONG FOR WHAT IT IS YOU WANT TO CHANGE HERE! I will hold you accountable in ever way. With this said let's do this. I believe you can make this a safe and enjoyable place to live, work, and RAISE A FAMILY! God bless all the efforts made to get you there!
K. Newton

Mr. Heath,
How's the petition to get on the ballot going? Do you need any help getting signatures? If so……maybe posting your requirements on this site will garner some assistance from a few of the dissatisfied taxpayers in the county. It might be of interest if you would keep the public posted here about your progress with the gathering of signatures. There surely are people willing to help oust Judge Sadler from his iron "grip" on the office of County Judge!
One other thing…….Mr. Sadler, don't you think it is a "conflict of interest" for you to preside over the commissioners court of a county that issues fleet fuel credit cards from Exxon/Mobil and Chevron/Texaco when you personally have ownership in Exxon and Chevron gas station/convenience stores around the state?
You are still involved (through some kind of lease arrangement) with the Chevron station on North Loop 336 East in Conroe aren't you? And what about your relationship with partner Aslam Kapadia and Ghulam Bombaywala and GBAK's 1.4 mil. gas station/convenience store contract?
GBAK filed bankruptcy three times and was admonished the third time by the court for "using the bankruptcy process" to avoid foreclosure proceedings against company GBAK assets. I believe the case was thrown out!
Voters should know that according to commissioners court minutes Judge Sadler voted on 10/12/09 to authorize County payment on Exxon and Chevron fleet fuel credit cards and FAILED to abstain from voting on that issue. He no doubt also participated in the original vote that gave the county's fuel business to Exxon and Chevron. HOW MANY OTHER TIMES HAS HE VOTED TAXPAYER DOLLARS TO THESE BIG OIL CORPORATIONS THAT HE IS INVOLVED IN BUSINESS WITH thru his corporations, Convenience U.S.A., Inc. and Sadler/Kapadia Investments and Development II and Development IV and Tri-Star Operations and Tri-Star Fuel Distributors?
As a matter of fact, I have not been able to find a "conflict disclosure" filled out by the judge naming Exxon or Chevron as an entity that he has "personal" business contracts and dealings with through different of his privately owned companies and partnerships around the state.
Go Adrian…..

Adrian,
Just finished reading Judge Sadler's campaign finance report posted on your website under "Links".
Sadler reports taking a $500.00 campaign contribution from his business partner Aslam Kapadia who was indicted (and is currently awaiting the start of his trial on April 6th) for conspiracy to commit money laundering and mail/wire fraud!
Shows Judge Sadler's "low" level of integrity and "arrogance".
Also looks to this blogger like Sadler (by accepting the contribution) has willingly become a "third party transferee" of Kapadia's assets. (which the Feds might have a "freeze" on).
Could be the "felony" needed to have the judge "removed" from office even before the November election!

Remarkable! thanks for pointing that out. I was so fatigued just reading through all the $2500 donations I didn't get that far and i think that is news worthy. I guess the courier will pick up on it.
Also your question yesterday about petitions I have about two hundred so far. My strategy of using democratic primary voters did not work so well because I found many of them to be Sadler fans. Apparently Democrats had a plan to cross over to vote in the Republican primary. Maybe they did so to help Sadler.
The best news is I was making good progress getting signatures on campus at Lonestar college. I was there first on monday for 30 minutes after dropping my son David of for class and got 20 signatures easily so I returned on tuesday and got 50 in about an hour. I even asked campus police for their signatures on Tueday.
Then I returned yesterday with two small signs to help me get attention and Dean Sheffler ran me off for some inexplicable violation of Community use of Facilities Policy. I got the impression he was acting on orders from above. The Sadler machine in action of course. I plan to return next week after Lonestar gets approval from their General Counsel.

Well, bankruptcy is a lawfull course of action. I have had that unpleasant experience myself ten years ago.
Obviously serial bankrutcy can be used and abused and many do. Good for the courts to admonish this abuser.
I do need to point out my view on the Corporate credit cards for the county- Even though Sadler owns a fuel distributorship it is really incidental to his vote on the commissioners court because Tri Star fuels has no control over the macro business affairs of the major oil companies who are free to pursue county business.
Now, if Tri Star Fuels was selling to the county government that would be cause for concern.

Good to hear how many signatures you have so far.
One other thing comes to mind about Kapadia's campaign contribution to Sadler in amt. of $500.00………
WHY DOESN'T KAPADIA PAY THE TAX LIENS (due from Sadler and his businesses)OVER TO THE GOV'T IF HE HAS ENOUGH BUCKS TO "GIVE AWAY" TO HIS BUSINESS PARTNER'S CAMPAIGN??
A quick look at the courthouse finds a BRAND NEW (3/17/2010) State of Texas TAX LIEN in the amount of $6886.39.
What will it take to get rid of these two crooked operators??

Well, er… umm… ahhh…err.
That is the funniest thing I ever heard! Good point!
This just ooccured to me too… another donor on the Sadler team is
Linebarger, Groggins, blair & Samson -$1000.00
http://www.publicans.com/
They collect dilinquent taxes and could have had them both pay up at the fundraiser.

Adrian:
I thinks it matters greatly that Judge Sadler sits in his position over all of the county's business and is able to "steer" all the individuals who have these "fleet fuel credit cards" to specific gas stations around the state as they go about their business (both personal and commercial). After all, who has "audited" who has these cards and when, where and how much are they used at which gas station/convenience stores??
Also, if I own numerous gas stations around the state (as Sadler does) perhaps I can cut a "special" deal with "Corporate" in "terms" of my own "franchise" (lease) contracts because I am able to deliver the county business (through the use of those credit cards handed out to county employees) to those very Big Oil Corporations!
I think the judge should have abstained from every vote regarding giving county business to Exxon/Mobil and Chevron/Texaco as he is in bed with them "personally"!
He also should have filled out and filed a "Public Disclosure" form regarding his "incestuous" relationship with these two corps.
Just my opinion,

Adrian,
While we're on the subject of Judge Sadler's disclosures of "personal" interests versus the county's interests……
Judge Sadler's personal businesses (gas station/convenience stores) hold "Beer & Wine Off-Premises" licenses.
In Texas a County Judge presides over hearings for applications for beer and liquor licenses in their own counties. The County Judge has the authority to deny any application they see fit.
What is there to stop Judge Sadler from denying an application for a new store that wants to open near an Exxon/Mobil or Chevron/Texaco convenience store in direct competition for sales? As a "favor" to the Big Oil Corporations that have a direct interest in their own franchisee (and lessees) being a success? Or even as a "favor" to a county "good ol boy" friend who owns one of these station/stores?
More than once the judge has "denied" an application for just such a permit citing neighbor's opposition AND even pointing out in his denial that there is already an "existing" permitee nearby? Which makes no logical sense for the "neighbors" opposition.
As a County Judge, Mr. Sadler personally has his hands in too many "pies". This guy's face is right alongside the definition of "confilct of interest" in the dictionary!
Once again I think Judge Sadler should "recuse" himself from ever having presided over an alcohol application and hearing.
Just my opinion, once again.

I think it will be great to have a race for MoCo Judge for the fall. Let's get Adrian on the ballot!
I can't believe LSC won't let him collect signatures on campus. Why, college campuses have been a hotbed of political actiivity for decades.
I hope the race will be about the issues, not personalities. The recent Governor's race was so negative, I didn't want to vote for either of the big name candidates.
