I guess I'm supposed to introduce myself ... [View all]

I completed my 10th post a few minutes ago and I got an email suggesting I introduce myself.

I guess I should say ... I am THAT Neal Rauhauser.

Remover of Bart Stupak and Baron Hill via primaries, defender of Raúl Grijalva during the 2010 election cycle, pursuer of Mike Grimm & Mike Rogers during the 2012 cycle. And by that I mean I moved to their districts that year to better dig for dirt.

Andrew Breitbart dropped dead from a heart attack in the middle of a fight with me back in February of 2012. The precedent setting 1st Amendment case in Texas with my name on it has to do with that episode, but it's been a long, strange trip.

There's lots more where that stuff came from, my literary agent told me I need to do more than just the rauhauser.net Substack, that's a big part of why I'm here. I'm waiting to see how the election turns out before I get serious about writing though, one of my codefendants in the Texas case was murdered three years ago, and the #1 suspect is former Proud Boys counsel Jason Lee Van Dyke. I'm hoping post election they get serious about rounding up all the DVE (Domestic Violent Extremists) out there.

So ... hi, hello, how are you?
