NASH, Texas - Introducing herself to a meeting of Bowie County Patriots as well as fellow compatriots from across the state line, the Arkansas conservative and media personality Jan Morgan lined up a series of arguments and issues as to why the seat of U.S. Sen. John Boozman (R-Arkansas) should be vacated and why she should take it.

"We are in trouble, we are under attack from many vectors," said Morgan, who often used firearm metaphors to get her point across. Her opening argument began with the theme that she has no problem putting herself in the line of fire.

"On September 2015, I got a call on my cell phone from the FBI, an agent identifying himself with the Bureau's counter-terrorism unit," she said. "'Do I need a bail bondsman?' He said no, but emphasized he needed both me and my husband to come in."

Morgan described a meeting with agents who said that ISIS had operatives working in Arkansas and that she had shown up on their target list. They advised her to lay low, to "go dark."

"I was co-hosting a show with a counter-terrorism expert at the time and speaking out on this issue," said Morgan. "I did not go dark. I wrote an article where I told them to bring it. They never came. After that, the FBI asked us to keep them informed."

A local militia offered protection, she said.

"I refused, on the grounds of doing that would show fear." Morgan said. "They win. I'm always armed and they are cowards. But I have to admit, for awhile, I was cringing a bit when I would turn the key in my ignition. Because if they came, that is how they might do it."

Morgan went on to say that fighting is in her DNA.

"And this is a fight for the heart and soul of our country, which is hanging on by a thread," she said.

Morgan mentioned her support of former President Trump and her continued enthusiasm for him and his policies.

"But to get what we need to get done, it can't be on the shoulders of just one politician," she said. "We can't put all our eggs in one basket. The job is too big. We have to elect an army to fight for conservative issues and positions."

Two of the issues she focused on were border issues/illegal immigration and election integrity.

"Texas, you are targeted," Morgan said. "They have a goal to turn Texas blue. Don't let that happen. Make Texas a state that those trying to come here illegally don't want to go. You need immigration reform."

Morgan also mentioned election integrity and what should be done to ensure it.

"You need a valid photo ID," she said. "You need to outlaw ballot harvesting. Really, you've got to nail that down. And you have to make sure that voting machines are not connected to the internet. We have that in Arkansas. Texas, you need to make sure that is the case here."

She then turned her attention to Boozman.

"If I were in Congress now, I'd be calling for Joe Biden's impeachment," Morgan said. "Why? For aiding and abetting an invasion, which is what illegals are doing. This is a hostile act, the act of an enemy. Boozman is too cozy with the Democrats (to get this done)."

This is not Morgan's first foray into politics.

"When I ran for governor, with no money and no organization, other than grass roots activity, I still managed to get just over 30% of the vote," she said. After career in media and working with firearms training, I was looking at retirement. But there is much to do. I stood up for President Trump. I fought for him."

She pointed out one of President Biden's first act was the cancellation of a pipeline project whose effect was felt in Arkansas.

"Boozman did nothing," Morgan said. "So it is time. I'm running for Boozman's seat in the U.S. Senate. But even that is not enough. This is 'we the people,' still. We need to get out of the mindset of 'that person.' It is all of us. Run for the local school board. Run for city council. If not yourself, support those who are good conservatives who want to make change for their community."

She referenced a recent election in Nash, Texas. For a city council position, of a township that has 2,500 eligible voters, only 118 people showed up.

"We can do better," she said. "To make your voice heard over that, it doesn't take much. A group of us shows up, we can make things happen. But remember, it is about serving your community, about being a public servant. And we need some good servants more than ever. this is all about the grass roots."

As to what some say about her, be it "gun goddess" or such, she owns it.

"My opponent, I'm sure he is a nice guy," Morgan said. "But it is time for him to retire. Send warriors to DC, I'm your girl."
