About the Book

“CLIPS”
CHRONICLING OBAMA

“Deanna Drab is a true American who is giving of her time and passion to express the outrage and concerns that many of us feel about President Obama and the "give-a-way" Congress ....”

Dave D’Antoni
Florida

"As sunlight cuts through darkness, Deanna Drab forces the light of facts and common sense into the political, economic, and social darkness that engulfs this nation."

Larry and Paula Jaques
Athens TX

“Columnist Erma Bombeck spread humor like Deanna spreads constitutional conservatism. America needs both.”

Jim Romer
Tool TX

“Deanna is a Great Grandmother who is as nice as she can be unless the subject is the future of her beloved U.S.A. Then she takes no prisoners and uses the sharpest knuckles in six counties to blast the Obama Administration for its socialist ways. Her opinion pieces are down home and pithy and her political analysis is razor sharp.”

Phil Brantley
Gun Barrel City TX

“With fear of socialism sweeping our country, many citizens rung their hands and cried "someone do something". Deanna Drab "did something". She took up her pen and expressed our anger, our hope, the patriotic truths, and our fragile freedom. She exposed false claims and accusations with facts.

Deanna Drab is indeed a Pen Warrior for truth and liberty.”
Betty Holland, County Chair
Republican Party of Henderson County

“Our friendship with Deanna has lasted over 40 years and as the saying goes ‘if you want something done ask a busy person.’ That's Deanna!! In our neighborhood, no job was too small or too large for her to tackle. So we weren't surprised to see her ‘Letters to the Editor.’ She is giving her time to a subject she knows must be heard.”

Gerry and Hank(deceased) Henry
Irving TX

“When reading Deanna’s “letters” I always think, ‘Atta, girl!! Keep up the good work.’”

Ray Allenson
Belton TX

“Regardless of your party affiliation, we all want what's best for our country and those we love. Our personal freedoms the Constitution gives us are rapidly being swallowed up by those in power. We, as freedom loving people, need to speak out, and Deanna does an excellent job of that. We need more powerful voices like hers.”

Cled and Peggy Painter
Athens, TX.

“Years ago when I met Deanna, I realized I was a Political virgin. Deanna knew I was confused about politics in general and she took special care to give me a balanced look at all sides of the political parties so I would be well informed especially when it came time to vote. Her political ideas and ideals are as important to her as is her love for family and country. Thanks to Deanna and her tutelage, I am no longer a virgin.”

About the Author

I was born and grew up in El Campo, Texas, a small town just a few miles from the Gulf of Mexico halfway between Houston and Corpus Christi. I’ve told everyone that not only was it a “fun” place to live but we were so very lucky. There were many successful farmers and oilmen and when they sent their sons to the North to be educated, they returned with lovely young wives who had little else to do but teach in our local schools. We benefited from their knowledge and by the time we graduated from high school although many of us had never been out of Texas, we were well educated almost to the point today of many college graduates, especially in the humanities. Being a member of Student Congress, I was part of many debates, “conventions,” congressional hearings, and elections. Speech classes helped me to learn to express myself.

I married shortly after graduation. I have three children, six grandchildren, and one great-grandchild. Although graduation from college was not to be, I’ve taken courses almost all my life. While my children did their homework, I did mine; mainly accounting, finance, government, English, and business math. It was only when I became self-employed that I recognized the need for knowledge of computers and, although I have taken a few courses, I am pretty much self-taught.

In 1964, living in the Dallas area, I became a Republican, “rare birds” indeed. Texas was dominated by the Democratic Party. I’ve worked on just about every Texas and national race since that date. I held every office in my local Republican club including three straight years as president. I was a member of the Dallas County Council of Republican Women for many of those years, serving twice as Legislative Chairman. Our Texas capitol and the surrounding office buildings became quite familiar. It was during these activities that I became so involved in policy making, government in general, and our Founding Fathers.

My husband was with NASA and NASA contractors for twenty years and then he built the cleanrooms and “front ends” of semiconductor plants so we’ve traveled much of the world. I experienced the different cultures and politics of many countries.

I was an office manager for two decades and then found my true calling, sales. I was a “traveling saleslady for many years.” I like to boast that I’ve been in almost every state (not the 57 that Obama has been in) and driven a rental car in most major cities.

In 2003, my husband and I made the Cedar Creek Lake area our home and I determined never again to be responsible for anyone other than myself. I wanted no part of scheduling, staffing, and decision making. Making airline reservations makes me “nutty.”

World War II proved to instill deep patriotic roots. Interested at an early age in my world and government, I’ve spent many hours studying America and American values. One might say that our Founding Fathers were heroes of mine. My admiration of George Washington and his rag-tag band of brothers, who fought to obtain my freedoms today and those of all who are lucky enough to call the United States of America their home, is profound.

This patriotic love is topped only by the love of my Creator and my family.

The threat of losing these freedoms, especially through the mishandling of said freedoms by our elected officials, prompted my return to politics. The abuse, yes abuse, that citizens endure each and every day by the media not telling us “the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth” causes our mistrust of not only our government but also our fellow citizens. Unless we can break these chains, we will lose our beloved country and freedoms.

In 2009 I began writing my “letters to the editor” and have been very successful in getting them printed. You will just have to read the book to see what prompted this endeavor.

If I can cause but one of you to understand the danger we have in this country of truly being “changed into one that no one will recognize” I will have succeeded.

God Bless us all and may God continue to Bless the U. S. A.

Deanna Green Drab
