U.S. Senator John Cornyn (R-TX) today spoke at a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on amending the Voting Rights Act to unconstitutionally force Texas back under federal preclearance to change its voting laws.
Michael Bloomberg and his faltering gun-prohibition groups are largely built on deceit and outright lies.
Their target is low information voters who will not take the time to research the facts but will quickly respond on emotion-based and sensationalized “our children are dying because of guns” stories.
At Saturdays gospel musical, I explained how Black people have to learn to vote for a candidate that will benefit them the most, not just a candidate who happens to be black. We must take a critical look at every candidate!
I applaud the House Committee on Science, Space, and Technology's passage of H.R. 4012, the Secret Science Reform Act of 2014. The Secret Science Reform Act requires the EPA to base its regulations on science that is publicly available and sufficient for independent analysis. I am an original cosponsor of the bill and issued the following statement after the Committee vote:
For far too long, the EPA has used secret data to justify billions of dollars in runaway regulations that harm economic growth and opportunity in America. The American people deserve access to this data that is often funded by taxpayer dollars and used to rationalize more Washington overregulation and overreach.
Today, I introduced the Holding IRS Leadership Accountable Act to prohibit bonuses to senior-level executives of the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) until all Congressional requests for documents, including e-mails related to the investigation of the agency’s targeting of taxpayers, are met.
If President Obama’s IRS thinks it can stonewall Congress by running out the clock, then the Administration gravely underestimates the American people’s desire for transparency and accountability from their government.
On Friday, Texas House Speaker Joe Straus created the Select Committee on Economic Development Incentives, which will assess the economic benefit provided by state and local incentive programs and make recommendations to make those programs more effective and efficient. I was appointed to the thirteen member committee. As a member of the Texas Legislature, I have been an active voice for fiscal conservatism, streamlining government, reducing burdensome overregulation and driving economic development that spurs the economy and creates jobs in Texas.

The Iraq debacle has shown that our emperor has no clothes. For the past six years, the media has covered up for the most incompetent administration since the beginning of the 20th century, but as Iraq spirals out of control, it can no longer be denied that this is Obama’s failure. While many on the left have stated that this has proven the failure of Bush’s invasion of Iraq, all it showed is the failure of Obama’s policies. Read more about The Obama Debacle!
It’s been over a year since we found out about IRS discrimination against groups that don’t share their political views, and I’m still outraged at the Administration’s abuse of power. We’ve been doing everything we can in the House to get to the bottom of this and restore fairness in our nation’s tax system. But as you’ve probably heard, IRS officials aren’t doing their part to comply. They claim that because of a computer crash, the exact emails we need to prove Lois Lerner’s involvement in targeting conservative groups have been lost.
The Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) graduated 107 new troopers who now leave Austin to begin patrolling the highways of Texas. Having successfully completed the twenty-seven week training academy, the new troopers will now span out across the state of Texas. The graduation comes just days after Texas Governor Rick Perry, Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst, and House Speaker Joe Straus signed a letter to DPS Director, Colonel Steve McCraw, ordering the immediate commencement of a surge of DPS law enforcement assets to secure the border with Mexico.

Moms Demand Action is an anti gun organization that works to disarm law abiding moms and dads across the country.
This organization ignores the fact that 2.5 million times last year, LAW ABIDING citizens pulled a gun in self defense and SAVED LIVES. As a parent and gun owner, I believe any parent who does NOT own a gun to defend the lives of their children, is being negligent in their responsibility as a parent.
