Sibyl West: I noticed some rumblings about this, then I noticed I lost about 5 followers and 5 people whom I followed. Then I noticed Willisms linked to an official statement. Now Erickson speaks up. Empower Texans are great guys and they don’t deserve this, but they are targets for the Statist left. If there is such a thing as a genuinely endangered species it is The Effective Conservative.

I have long considered Empower Texans to be the most important and effective state level conservative grassroots organization in the country. These people are not just respected in Texas; they are feared. It is an awesome thing to behold.
Michael Quinn Sullivan and company do excellent work educating Texans on the men who go to Austin claiming to be conservatives only to turn left out of the eyes of their constituents.
And they use Twitter as part of their communication strategy. In fact, twitter is a key component of their outreach. Or at least it was.
Today, Twitter not only shut down the Empower Texans twitter feed, but it also shut down the twitter feeds of every individual who works for Empower Texans.
