The change in leadership in the Texas House of Representatives' majority party brought a breath of fresh air to the Capitol last week. Surprise Speaker Joe Straus, a Republican from San Antonio, set a bold new direction for the House with his committee appointments.

 

Perry Says Texas Will Take Its Share of Stimulus Package, but He Has Reservations

Gov. Rick Perry said Wednesday that Texas will accept the state's $16 billion share of the new federal stimulus package, but he is leaving the door open to rejecting funds that place an onerous burden on the state and require state taxpayers to put up long-term matching funds.

 

Darwin Would Not Have Supported Censorship

by Terri Leo, State Board of Education

In the article (Houston Chronicle, "State Board of Education Must Be Held Accountable," February 12, 2009), the Texas Legislators, who were quoted, misstated the current debate when they said, "The SBOE continues to engage in narrow theological debate about the validity of evolution."  These Senators obviously have been getting their information from far-leftwing groups and from many in the liberal news media.

S.O.S - Stop Obama's Socialism!

My friends, you are not alone! More and more Americans are waking up and realizing what is happening to our great country. This morning there was a near revolt on the floor of the Chicago stock exchange. If you haven't seen it yet, you have to watch this video
 
But wait, there's more... When Obama went to Arizona yesterday to announce his latest bailout plan, $275 billion for subprime mortgages, press reports indicate that he was greeted by 500 to 600 protestors, some with signs reading, "Don't tread on me," "I'll keep my freedom! You keep the change!" and "B.O. smells and so does Socialism." A new poll released by Rasmussen Reports today finds that only 38% of Americans support this latest bailout. 
 
I don't know about you, but I am encouraged by these developments. People are upset by the direction Obama and the Democrat-dominated Congress are taking us and they are fighting back! I was also very encouraged by the response to yesterday's appeal for funds. Thank you to everyone who stepped up to the plate and made an investment in this work.
