Texas GOP Vote

As the newly appointed Texas Director of Cafe Con Leche Republicans (CCLR), I am happy to announce our group's endorsement of Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan to be the next President and Vice President of the United States. This summer, Republicans have taken important steps to finding solutions to our broken immigration system through the adoption of pro-immigration reform planks in both the Texas and National Republican Platforms. Electing Romney/Ryan in November is a key step towards solving a system which has created chaos along our borders and encourages lawless behavior.   Read more »

As reported earlier this week, President Obama and his administration have acted outside the law to steal the pensions of 20,000 retired salaried Delphi employees while using taxpayer dollars to bail out and save the union employees' salaries. Any way you slice this, it is a clear violation of the 14th Amendment's guarantee of equal protection under the law. 20,000 employees were discriminated against simply because they were not union members. Do you think that is right, or fair?   Read more »

Well it's official, last night Governor Mitt Romney accepted his party's nomination to be the 45th President of the United States. The last night of the convention was all about his vision for America and how the policies he would advance differ from the failed policies of President Obama, which have resulted in forty-two months of unemployment above 8%!   Read more »

Vice Presidential nominee Paul Ryan was clearly the big draw at tonight's convention. Congressman Ryan hit hard for the future of this country by clearly laying out how he and Mitt Romney would tackle the tough issues that are bankrupting our country. In doing so, Paul Ryan utilized both his young family and his mother to hit home that his reforms would bring "opportunity for the young and security for the old."

This summer, the Republican Party of Texas took a bold step forward on the issues of border security and immigration reform by adopting "The Texas Solution." The national Republican Party has now followed suit by adopting a guest worker program into its national platform. This has not gone un-noticed by the national media.    Read more »

The movie 2016: Obama's America gives us insight into the real Obama in a well-produced documentary, but then when you have one of Hollywood's better film makers, Gerald Molen on board, a well-produced film should be expected. Dinesh D’Souza contrasts his own view of America with Obama's as both men were born the same year and part of the same generation. Near the beginning of the movie, D’Souza noted about living in India, “In India, my life would be given to me, but in America, I could construct my own life.”   Read more »

Witnesses say that Teleprompter scrolled "the ayes have it" even before the voice vote was taken. Also, video of the rule change vote at the Republican National Convention shows that the vote seemed to be a toss up with no clear winner and yet the ayes were immediately declared winners. This declaration was drowned out by loud booing. Also, before John Boehner called for the vote, he asked if there were any objections and there were clearly people who objected and yet John Boehner said there were none.   Read more »

Tuesday was an incredible day for Texas Republicans attending the party’s national convention in Tampa, Florida. Texas’ newly elected U.S. Senate Candidate Ted Cruz delivered a spectacular keynote speech--without using a teleprompter or a podium!

I want to talk to you tonight not about politics and not about party. And while there are many important issues we'll hear discussed in this convention and throughout this campaign, tonight I want to talk to you from my heart about our hearts.

I want to talk not about what divides us, but what holds us together as an American family. I want to talk to you tonight about that one great thing that unites us, that one thing that brings us our greatest joy when times are good, and the deepest solace in our dark hours.   Read more »

The Texas delegation, which by numerous accounts led the charge to get this accomplished is to be commended. Details will be unveiled tomorrow (Tuesday), but but the below has been going out from members of the Rules committee.   Read more »
