SHREVEPORT, LA – It was early May when Motorhome Diaries: Searching for Freedom in America came to Texas last. I really enjoyed the Lone Star state and it has a great mix of liberty minded individuals all over. Our journey started in the Wichita Falls at a gym, lead us into Austin, allowed us the opportunity to interview Ron Paul, a fellow RVing family called the Barenaked Family and ended with Gumbo, Guns and Guitars in Houston. Since MHD is returning to Texas today, we thought it would be nice to post some videos of our previous stop here.

Thanks to our friends at Campaign for Liberty and an almost all night drive, we had the chance to sit down with Ron Paul in Lake Charles, TX. It was a hot, muggy, Mother’s day morning when the congressman took time to chat with Pete Eyre. This was a memorable moment for me as I have credited Ron Paul with motivating me to get involved in the liberty movement. This is also one of my favorite interviews cause the line of questions Pete came up with on immigration, self-government and civil disobedience.

We also had the chance to check out Waco. This was the most surreal stop for me due to what the government had done to these people. They were living peacefully on their own land, minding their own business. Until the feds thought differently, they trespassed on the property, shot into these people’s homes, started a fire and committed murder. Yet not a single person with a badge has been held accountable for these acts. I was at a loss for words nearly the whole time Pete and I shot this video, I hope none of us forget what happened to these folks at the hands of government.

I think Pete said it best when he wrote the blog post for this vid in May:

After we had the great opportunity to sit down with Ron Paul in Lake Jackson, TX office we hit the road, driving north on 288 toward Houston, where we had a meetup later that evening. Off the west side of the highway we saw a collection of busts of former presidents. Obviously someone thought these guys were such good people that they deserved to be showcased.

We didn’t.

So today will mark our return to Texas and though this stay will be considerably shorter than the last. We know the folks here will be great and we hope to meet up with you tonight at our meet up. See all the details here.  If you would like to read more about our time in Texas back in May check out his post here.
