I wanted to take this opportunity to let you know about some of the things that have been going on during the interim in our community and across our great state of Texas.
Appropriations

My wife works in downtown Beaumont. She called me and told me that they locked down their building because a gunman was shooting and killing people at the Jefferson County Courthouse close to where she works.

This is a piece of random thoughts where conventional wisdom is turned upside down and corrected. Here is a thought, how many times does the left tells us how much of a failure those Bush tax cuts were?

Voting participation in the U.S. is a call for members of society to be engaged and active in their community. Through voting we maintain the structure of American society and our institution of government.
