The CD22 situation has been a mess for some time. We had a congressman who decided to walk away from the nomination after the priimary. We had a state party that handled the situation poorly. We had local party leaders who tried to control the situation for the benefit of friends and cronies.

And then you had the little people -- the precinct chairs who represent the grassroots of the party. We tried to conform to all the various problems that arose along the way, doing what we heard from the people of our precincts and operating in the dark too many times.

Finally, it seems that we might have a say in this process, and that we might really have some element of control over what happens next.

Or at least we will if one local politician listens to what we have to say, and if one member of congress stops trying to direct what is happening.

Now it appears that we might be permitted to have our say -- and one candidate is saying he does not care. David Wallace has already filed his write-in candidacy documents. He has not waited for the grassroots to speak. He has not indicated that he will defer to us and withdraw in the event we reject his candidacy. Indeed, Wallace has been actively courting the NRCC, seeking the endorsement of that organization despite the fact that almost every GOP congressman has signed on to the idea of listening to the grassroots.

David Wallace -- hear me clearly. If you make this run over the objections of the precinct chairs of CD22, we will come after you. We will fund your opponents in your mayoral reelection bid, we will walk the city of Sugar Land to campaign against you, and we will oppose you in any other political race you seek to compete in. Do not place yourself above the people or the party.

And to those on the national level who want to support Wallace regardless of what we say -- rest assured, we will be coming for you as well. Back our candidate, or back none at all -- or face our wrath.
