In 1787, our Founding Fathers crafted a document that has endured to become the blueprint for all nations who wish to foster a free society. The United States Constitution was revolutionary not only in the government it created, but in the freedoms it protected for American citizens.
As we mark the anniversary of its signing, I encourage all Texans to take a moment today to reflect on the Constitution and the liberties we maintain living in a country that is truly governed by "we the people." Read more about Happy Constitution Day!
Team Obama will try to present the Russian proposal to get the Syrians to give up their chemical weapons as a brilliant maneuver by Obama as part of a longer term strategy, but the reality is Obama got check mated by Putin. There is no victory here but a major geopolitical defeat that ensures Assad's survival while Iran's position has been strengthened. America today is more vulnerable than ever before, and Obama's reckless policy has led to it.
Now is the time to learn the right lessons on how we got here and understand exactly what has happened. What happened is that Putin played Obama and Kerry
Texas State District Judge Layne Walker, a Democrat, is at the center of many of the stories of corruption in Jefferson County and Beaumont, TX and has had several lawsuits filed against him. Judge Walker had his lawyers file a motion to dismiss one of these lawsuits, but Federal Judge Ron Clark has slapped down Judge Walker’s motion to dismiss and rebuked Judge Walker and his attorneys. The rebuke from Judge Clark made Judge Walker and his legal team look silly. Judge Clark said that Judge Walker’s motion to dismiss, instead of relevant facts pertaining to the lawsuit against him, contained abusive language and name calling. Judge Clark went even further and said that the motion to
This “Help Kickstart World War III” may be one of the most clever videos I’ve seen in some time! Who says that the Left doesn’t support Obama…no matter what!? Check out this special interest group.
The left hates a truly free press. The recent Senate bill that “protects” reporters and “strengthens” shield laws is nothing more than the government defining who is a journalist and who is not. Translation for those low information voters who just might NOT quite understand potential problem with this bill: the government will sanction reporters and determine who “deserves” protection and who gets screwed. In the future, the government will use its power to intimidate
A man charged with a plethora of crimes posted a Youtube video threatening to find the children of an FBI agent after previously threatening to personally destroy that Special Agent.
Update: Land Commissioner Jerry Patterson and Governor Candidate Tom Pauken have demanded that the charges be dropped against these men because it is not illegal to open carry the guns the men had in the manner they carried them. Also, it has been confirmed that it was three men who were arrested, not just two. Also, it has been confirmed that the group of men were part of an organization called Open Carry Texas.
At least 3 men (one a war vet in a wheelchair) were arrested today, 9/13/2013, at the Texas Capitol in Austin, TX after State Troopers, not aware of the law, arrested them and then had to think of other charges to put
Thursday I launched the bipartisan Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) Export Caucus along with three of my colleagues, Congressman Jim Costa (D-CA16), Congressman Joe Barton (R-TX06), and Congressman Filemon Vela (D-TX34) to help the development and timely exportation of LNG. The caucus also hopes to encourage a rational regulatory environment that ensures the production and exportation of LNG; creating jobs, helping the economy and cleaning the environment.

I sent a letter today to Secretary of State John Kerry urging him to include bioweapons in the negotiations on disarming the Assad regime of chemical weapons. Read the letter below:
Dear Secretary Kerry,
As you conduct negotiations with the Russian Federation on disarming the Assad regime of its chemical weapons, I urge you to ensure Syria's biological weapons are included as an equal component of any plan.

Ted Poe and fellow members of Texas’s delegation in the U.S. House of Representatives to help pass long-overdue, common sense immigration reform.
