March 2010 Media Statement
“There have been a number of inaccurate stories in the Texas political press about Citizen Leader PAC, its leadership and its goals. Not a single reporter contacted us in advance of their stories to verify any of the facts or to ask us directly about our goals or motivations. Instead, they chose to speculate and manufacture this information. To correct the record:
Citizen Leader PAC’s core principles are limited government, free enterprise and individual liberty. We decide whom to support in political campaigns by evaluating which candidate is most faithful to those principles. We plan to get involved in many races, and our criteria will remain the same. We are not an anti-RINO group. We are not interested in Speaker politics. We have never taken a positions on individual bills. We do like elected officials who remember that they work for the voters, and not vice-versa.
Furthermore, we are proud to have Leo Linbeck III as the leader of CLAPAC. His father, Leo Linbeck, Jr., is a different person, and in no way affiliated with the organization.”
