Make Positive Change in our community with strong experienced visionary leadership –

Vote Mike Southerland to lead the way!

Government taxes, spending and unnecessary regulations severely limit our freedoms. The government constantly takes too much of our money, spends it in a thoughtless way. They also make free living ridiculously hard with so many unneeded rules.

I believe strongly and work hard for our individual freedoms and our right to decide for ourselves, even if we might fail sometimes. The American dream is about having the chance to succeed, but with too much government control, that chance is limited. How much taxes do you pay: property (School, City and County), fees for ambulances, sewer, electricity, trash pickup, sales tax, hotel motel tax, tax to register/ licensed your auto, gasoline tax, permit fees, business tax, cable, phone, etc. If you add all the taxes/fees, we must pay from federal to state to county to city, government takes about 50% of income.

And how much input do you have on where the money is spent?

Government rules are everywhere, making it tough for us to reach our goals. Our local government does not always follow the founding principles of our country. Which leads to huge problems for us. “Like the medians in Bryan.”

I am absolutely committed to reducing government spending and taxes and in turn government power. I have the experience and knowledge to get the job done. Our freedom needs protection. It is time to act now! Vote Mike Southerland for County Commissioner PCT 3.

Sermons We See

Edgar Guest

I'd rather see a sermon than hear one any day;

I'd rather one should walk with me than merely tell the way.

The eye's a better pupil and more willing than the ear,

Fine counsel is confusing, but example's always clear;

And the best of all the preachers are the men who live their creeds,

For to see good put in action is what everybody needs.

I soon can learn to do it if you'll let me see it done;

I can watch your hands in action, but your tongue too fast may run.

And the lecture you deliver may be very wise and true,

But I'd rather get my lessons by observing what you do;

For I might misunderstand you and the high advice you give,

But there's no misunderstanding how you act and how you live.

When I see a deed of kindness, I am eager to be kind.

When a weaker brother stumbles and a strong man stays behind

Just to see if he can help him, then the wish grows strong in me

To become as big and thoughtful as I know that friend to be.

And all travelers can witness that the best of guides today

Is not the one who tells them, but the one who shows the way.

One good man teaches many, men believe what they behold;

One deed of kindness noticed is worth forty that are told.

Who stands with men of honor learns to hold his honor dear,

For right living speaks a language which to every one is clear.

Though an able speaker charms me with his eloquence, I say,

I'd rather see a sermon than to hear one, any day.
