As anyone who runs a business or owns a farm or ranch in Texas knows, President Obama has been using the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to enforce an anti-business agenda. For the past six years, our economy has limped along, hampered by job-killing policies promoted and enacted by big-government supporters. The Administration’s policy is exactly what Reagan said of President Carter’s economic policies: “If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it.” That’s no way to run a country.
This week, I took three major steps to put a halt to the EPA’s ongoing overreach. New EPA regulations—called “CAFE standards”—would raise the average price of a new car by $3000 and push 7 million people out of the automobile market.
We are living in a Rear Window world. Alfred Hitchcock's classic thriller tells the story of a professional photographer homebound by a broken leg who takes a voyeuristic interest in his neighbor. From the interior of his quadrangle apartment complex, Jimmy Stewart's character can examine his neighbors' lives, and he even gives nicknames to the ones he hasn't personally met. Over the course of his recovery, Stewart begins to suspect one neighbor may have murdered his wife, and as he attempts to unravel the clues from his view, the situation becomes more and more suspenseful.

The United States has a proud history of taking outstanding generals on the battlefield and promoting them to executive office. From our very beginning, General George Washington became President Washington. General Sam Houston became the first President of Texas. Now Texas is presented with the opportunity to promote a different kind of battlefield commander as Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott announced his candidacy to become the next Governor of Texas.
Making San Antonio his first stop of a ten-city tour, Abbott made his 2014 campaign bid to be the next governor of Texas. There is no doubt that family is of upmost importance to Greg Abbott. His teenage daughter, Audrey, introduced her proud father to the audience. Abbott took the stage with his wife Cecilia of 31 years. It was not necessary that he stress ‘family’ as it was transparently visible to his hundreds of supporters who waited more than an hour in the sweltering inferno of the San Antonio sun.

Governor Rick Perry has said good-bye, and while many of us will remember his gaffes in running for president, there are very few public officials who can boast as successful a record as Perry did in governing Texas. When I think of Perry, I think of the first time I talked with my present financial planner when I told her, "I won’t judge you by how much you increase my accounts in the good time, I will judge you by how much of my wealth you preserve in the bad times.” Perry has governed in the good times and in the bad times, yet Texas has maintained strong job growth and prosperity when much of the country suffered.

Hello, TexasGOPVote readers! It's me again, back for more about HB 2, formerly known as SB 5. As I was perusing Facebook, which, I have been known to do, I saw a picture that prompted me to write this particular post.
When it comes to the abortion issue, every living person that's old enough has an opinion on the issue, and if they don't, they need to check their pulse. This picture that I'm referring to brings us all back to the beginning. You know, that thing that causes pregnancy in the first place. Still need a hint? I'm talking about...SEX!

The Texas Capitol building and grounds were filled with competing blue vs. orange shirts during the debate in Texas over a law that would limit abortions past 20 weeks/5 months of pregnancy, and require abortion facility upgrades.
