Texas GOP Vote

During the 2011 Legislative Session, a new law was passed with good intentions but with a devastating unintended consequence.  The new law prohibiting the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) from issuing a Driver's License to anyone who could not prove their legal immigration status in the U.S. created perhaps a million unlicensed and uninsured drivers on our roadways. This led to increased hit and run accidents, increased police chases and increases in Texan's uninsured motorists rates.   Read more »

Earlier this week, TexasGOPVote reported on the attacks on King Street Patriots and True the Vote by the Internal Revenue Service and other federal agencies under what appears to be a high level coordinated effort to harass and deny services to groups because of their political views.  If this is not the tyranny that President Obama asked college graduates to ignore, I don't know what is.

King Street Patriots (KSP), and Catherine Engelbrecht personally, were attacked by what appears to be a coordinated inter-agency blitz.

You might think a proposal to force undocumented immigrants to be background checked, fingerprinted, photographed and entered into a database would be an easy sell with Republican lawmakers. But, you’d be wrong.

With time quickly running out in the legislative session, a plan to make it possible for undocumented immigrants to obtain a driver permit has stalled in legislature. The idea’s Republican champion in the House, Rep. Byron Cook of Corsicana, said the process has slowed way down but he’s still hopeful the proposal can become law. “Right now, we are pushing a big rock uphill,” he told me.   Read more »

Harris County Precinct 4 Constable Ron Hickman will speak to the Texas Tea Party Republican Women's Club (TTPRW) tomorrow night about the huge problem of human trafficking and sexual slavery that is rampant in the Houston Area. Many have called Houston the nation's capital in human trafficking.

Hickman, who was recently recognized as Constable of the Year by the National Constables' and Marshall's Association during their annual meeting in Sugar Land, Texas, will present his department's

One of the top EMS service providers in Texas, Cy-Creek EMS (CCEMS), is facing tough financial challenges as it faces massive increases in population in the coming years. The district is expected to grow from 500,000 to 750,000 in the next 7 years. That represents over 35,000 new people per year needing additional services and expecting the award winning level of support Cy-Creek have come to expect over the past nearly 40 years. On Saturday, May 11, an election is being conducted by Harris County Emergency Services District 11 to ask voters to approve a proposed tax rate cap increase. A vote in this election just might save your life or the life of a loved one or neighbor.   Read more »

As I have said for weeks now, this election is not about winning, it's about sending a message to Washington D.C. and to Austin, Texas. No more big government. No more big spending. No more abuse of government processes to redistribute wealth. Last night, former Harris County Tax Assessor, Paul Bettencourt said it best proclaiming that "in Texas it's not just about winning, it's about running up the score!"  Today is your best opportunity to do that by getting out to vote and taking ten of your like-minded friends with you.   Read more »

The Devine camp continues to throw poison darts into the minds of Texans against Justice David Medina. Devine’s followers and supporters are more of a ‘cult’ than just conservative Republicans. These so called supporters were either misled or support this kind of malicious behavior. Christians don’t throw their Christianity around just to prove they are Christians. Personally, this is the most sordid and convoluted case I have ever researched.   Read more »

In a display of arrogance and contempt for public oversight, the Cypress-Fairbanks Independent School District Board of Trustees voted 6-1 to approve a motion to change the term of service for board members and to move the elections to odd-numbered years. The "special meeting" was called with little notice,

Today, December 15, is the day we commemorate the first ten ratified amendments to the Constitution of the United States, more popularly called our Bill of Rights.

There were twelve Amendments proposed, but only ten ratified by the states. (The other two dealt with expanding the number in the House of Representatives as the population increased, and preventing Congress from voting themselves immediate pay raises.)   Read more »

Rick Perry came out with an ad this week pledging to end Obama’s War Against Religion. This could not have come at a more perfect time. There really is a war against religion in America. The war is specifically against Christianity and not really against all religion in general. For instance, Tim Tebow is a Quarterback in the NFL (Denver Broncos). Tebow openly practices his Christian faith and he was even featured in a pro-life Super Bowl ad last year. When he makes a touchdown he kneels down and says a prayer. This has been called “Tebowing.” Just last week, Detroit Lions player Tony Scheffler made a touchdown against the Broncos, and after he
