- Matt Houston. Yourhoustonnews.com: South County Libertarian runs for District 8 Representative. 30 January 2012. "When it comes to social issues, Hall said he adopts a Libertarian attitude that the government should not be allowed to tell people how to live their personal lives, whether it's abortion, gay marriage or the legality of drug use [¦] He found Texas' recently passed law forcing pregnant mothers to have sonograms before making decisions on abortions particularly offensive, he said. 'It's atrocious. It's an attempt to guilt someone into making the most difficult decision of their life into making the decision they (the government) want,' he said. 'The government does not have the authority to do that.'" (www.yourhoustonnews.com)

- Roy Hall. Facebook: Timeline. 29 March 2012. "Republicans have no standing when it comes chastising the Democrats about being big government big spenders. They are the same. Today the House passed a budget which would leave a deficit of $800 Billion at the end of 2013. That means the national debt is increased by $800 Billion [¦] LIKE this if you understand the GOP and Dems are indistiguishable when it comes to reducing government spending." (www.facebook.com)

- Roy Hall. Facebook: Timeline. 29 June 2012. "This decision sets a harmful precedent in expanding the "Taxing Power" of congress. Because the decision stated that the penalty of the mandate could reasonably be seen as a tax, it was with in Congress power. Because the mandate survives most other questions of the bill are irrelevant to the SCOTUS. If you really want this bill 'repealed,' what ever your reason, the best option to you have to vote for your Libertarian candidates this fall. Remember Obama got the individual mandate idea from Romney." (www.facebook.com)
