REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE'S SUIT TO REMOVE PRIMARY OPPONENT FROM BALLOT DISMISSED
The United States is gearing up for the next Super Bowl. Unfortunately, so are human sex traffickers. Super Bowl Sunday is not just the sporting event of the year; it has also become America's traveling human trafficking magnet. Exploiters roam the streets looking for prey.
Last year, while the two teams battled it out on the field, a young trafficked girl prayed for her life while sold for sex.
Ken Paxton’s campaign for Attorney General is building much like Ted Cruz’s successful bid for the U.S. Senate. With Rep. Dan Branch being the candidate to beat- with heavy establishment backing and a campaign war chest that will enable him to blanket the state with mass media marketing, similar to David Dewhurst’s expensive media-based Senate campaign- Ken Paxton and Barry Smitherman have been vying for the tea party support which got Cruz into the runoff and then catapulted him to victory.

Before I go into detail about the Town Hall meeting that took place in San Antonio concerning abortion rights, I want to stress just how important and how divisive this subject has become in America.

I voted to pass H.R. 3362, the Exchange Information Disclosure Act, which requires the Administration to provide accurate data on the number of Americans who have enrolled on healthcare.gov.
Under President Obama, the national debt has increased 50% to $6 trillion. We simply cannot sustain that kind of excessive spending. Yesterday’s vote alters the culture of spending in Washington. For the first time in over six decades, spending has now been cut four years in a row and takes spending down to a level below FY09.

Last week I got a call from a concerned father in Crosby, Texas. His daughter is a single working mom with 3 young children ages 3 through 13. She recently received bad news from her health insurance provider. She and her children will be dropped from their current plan.
The new plan required under Obamacare had a 40 perecent more expensive premium. As a result, she and her children had to move out of their home and in with their father and mother.
