Sparring with Potential Texas State Representative Peter Veeck

Sparring with a Potential State Representative of Texas Named Peter Veeck

Attempting to Prevent the Failure of Justice and Equality in Grayson and Fannin Counties

Sitting in downtown Denison south of the Red River, Mr. Peter Veeck (pronounced as in wreck) talks about national, state, and local politics with ease and passion. He is in the process of running for State Representative in District 62, which covers Grayson and Fannin counties.

Mr. Veeck stated that he is "mad as hell" about most things in national, state, and local politics. He said, "What is the purpose of government? The government's purpose has been the preservation of government. To government, citizens have become secondary."

When asked to clarify, he said, "Today, we have a government by the government, of the government, and for the government. That is not how it was set up to be run."

Even though Mr. Veeck does not know what lengthy formalities or excess funds will be necessary to run for State Representative of Texas in District 62, he already knows that the incumbent Republican candidate in his district is Mr. Larry Phillips.

Mr. Veeck intends to ask Representative Phillips "what money he received from Tom Delay's laundryful." Mr. Delay is a Republican who allegedly laundered corporate-money in Texas for campaign finance.

Mr. Veeck paraphrased Supreme Court Justice Brandise to express, "The government sets the laws and so the government is the example. When the government doesn't follow the laws, then no body is going to follow the laws, and there is anarchy."

When asked if he thought there was a trend of the government heading towards anarchy because there are too many law-breakers in government, he said, "I think there is anarchy already."

When asked about what he thought about the Republican and Democratic parties, respectively, Mr. Veeck stated, "The Republican party is built from the top-down. The Democratic party is built from the bottom-up."

When asked about which party he thought harbored more law-breakers, he said, "I don't think there's a dime's worth of difference between them. The crooks use both parties to benefit themselves."
