U.S. Senate Candidate Steve Stockman who currently serves as a Congressman in the 36th Congressional District of Texas appears to have an issue with freedom of the press and the First Amendment.  Stockman, who has been attempting to get an interview with this writer for the past couple of weeks, had a campaign event scheduled at the Northeast Tarrant County TEA Party on Monday night in Bedford, Texas.

As a political writer for TexasGOPVote, I decided to attend this meeting to learn more about Stockman and his campaign.  When I arrived at the event, I was surprised to learn that I would not be allowed to attend the event.

The President is talking about income inequality in America, but there is no greater gap than between the politicians in Washington who spend with abandon and the American people who are struggling to make ends meet and are forced to pay for it all.

Today’s vote on the Continuing Resolution moves us one step closer to the 1,500-page, $1 trillion omnibus bill that does nothing to restore economic growth, stop Obamacare, or fix our spending problem.

I never thought I would say this, but today…. it gives me great pleasure to say thank you to the liberal news media for your intensely biased relentless attacks on Chris Christie.

Yes, you have been extremely negligent in your journalistic responsibilities regarding your coverage of Benghazi, the IRS scandals, etc, however, just this once, I am actually relieved that your biased focus and scrutiny on conservatives actually backfired.

Construction companies across Texas that work on public projects are on notice now that the targeted worker misclassification crackdown passed by the legislature in 2013 has taken effect.

HB 2015 “Worker Classification” was signed into law on June 14, 2013 and became effective on January 1, 2014.  This law is considered by many to be a good first step in the fight against the problem that is especially

Recently, I’ve been getting questions about expiring tax laws and what that means for local businesses. One deduction in particular helps businesses invest in new equipment and increase jobs and economic growth. The Section 179 deduction allows business owners to purchase new equipment and deduct the entire depreciation amount in a single year. For instance, the lifetime depreciation of a tractor could be deducted entirely during the year of its purchase,

Despite an investigation that may continue for months, I am disappointed in the announcement that criminal charges have already been ruled out as a response to the IRS targeting probe.

From the beginning, it appears that this Administration has refused to take these charges seriously. Last month, President Obama wrote off abuse from the IRS as the result of bureaucratic streamlining, and claimed to be surprised by the American people’s response,

President Barack Obama has drawn harsh criticism from law enforcement representatives by nominating Debo Adegbile to head the Department of Justice Civil Rights Division as Assistant U.S. Attorney General.

The 330,000-member Fraternal Order of Police slammed the nomination, referring to Adegbile as a volunteer supporter and defender of convicted Black Panther

This week, the Supreme Court is taking up a case that will determine whether or not recent Presidential appointments were constitutional. The Constitution gives the President power to make appointments during times when the Senate is out of session—or in recess, as we say. But when President Obama made these “recess appointments” in 2012, the Senate was not in recess. The Senate was still holding periodic sessions, but the President decided that he had the authority to make recess appointments

Last week, I returned to Washington as motivated and committed as ever to making government more efficient and effective, spending less and empowering all Americans to succeed in whatever endeavor they choose. Read more about Squashing Government Waste in 2014

In a nutshell, Agenda 21 was a document to impose "sustainable development" across the globe.

It originated at a UN meeting in Rio de Janeiro in 1992 and was signed there by President George H.W. Bush. After Bush's defeat, Bill Clinton issued an Executive Order creating the "President's Council on Sustainable Development." It is now embedded in all federal bureaucracies and trickling down to state and local governments through federal grants. For example, John Kerry recently called for a discussion of "climate change" at every State Dept. meeting.
