This election proved one thing; we live in a secular America. Christians were shocked with the realization that we are no longer a Christian nation. Colorado and Washington legalized marijuana while Maryland, Maine, Minnesota and Washington embraced same sex marriage. Didn’t Obama declare the Defense of Marriage Act unconstitutional? Can legalized prostitution and legalized euthanasia be far away?

Texas Moving for Change in Employee Misclassification Enforcement

Stop Employee MisclassificationFor over two years now, I have been writing about unethical businesses using employee misclassification as a strategy to create an unfair competitive advantage over legitimate employers in the marketplace. According to an article this week on Construction Citizen, we may finally be moving in the right direction thanks to business leaders, the Texas Workforce Commission, and a bipartisan group of Texas legislators coming together to take action for the upcoming session of the Texas Legislature.

Throughout his career Jim has been a tireless warrior for conservative principles and a passionate advocate for limited government in Congress and across America.

Culberson Calls for Creation of a Select Committee to Fully Investigate the Benghazi Terrorist Attacks

Issues: 

Today, I joined Rep. Frank Wolf and nine of our colleagues in introducing a bill to establish a House Select Committee on the Terrorist Attack in Benghazi.

Eighty-four days have passed since the attack, and the administration has told the American people very little about the murder of four Americans in Benghazi. This select committee will investigate the terrorist attacks and determine what should be done

Democrats Object to Bipartisan STEM Jobs Act

Issues: 

Today U.S. Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas) along with several of his colleagues went to the Senate floor to call up H.R. 6429, the bipartisan STEM Jobs Act, which passed the House earlier this week. Senate Democrats objected to the bill, which would boost job creation and spur economic growth by reallocating up to 55,000 green cards a year to the top foreign graduates of U.S. universities with advanced degrees in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) fields.

Reps. Poe & Maloney Introduce The Safer Act Of 2012

Issues: 

Tuesday, Congresswoman Carolyn Maloney (D-NY) and I introduced H.R. 6628, The Sexual Assault Forensic Evidence Registry (SAFER) Act of 2012. This bipartisan bill will help law enforcement process rape kits. Senator John Cornyn (R-TX) and Senator Michael Bennet (D-CO) introduced the Senate companion bill in May.

Victims of crime should not be denied justice because of a bureaucratic backlog. It is my hope that the SAFER Act will bring to light the necessity of testing rape kits as quickly as possible in order to bring swift justice to violent criminals. Victims of violent crime should not be left in the dark about the status of their case

Issues: 

Houston, Texas – Today the Republican Party of Texas (Texas GOP) the state’s largest and most effective advocate for promoting a conservative philosophy of government, voted the Republican Hispanic Citizens In Action committee as an official State Republican Group.

“It is imperative that Hispanic Republican groups come alive given that we are now the largest minority in the Nation. Moreover, in the 2012 Presidential election, Blacks outvoted Hispanics 65% to 50% which indicates it is a wake-up call for Hispanics to get more engaged in the political process” said Eric Melchor, RHCIA member.
