As Rick Perry's camp insists that they are the front-runner, I've taken some time to go to Texas electronically to read up on how Government and business works there. This is how it works in the City of Houston. I promise to be equally though for all of the candidates. We can't afford another illusion. Texas has benefited from rising energy prices that other States haven't enjoyed. No doubt Tort reform is a plus but it also inhibits small businesses ability to fight this type of usurpation…

President Obama announced yesterday the latest market manipulation to favor veterans employment when it is this very type of tax manipulation that is destroying our Country. It's his attempt to appeal to big government Republicans. President Obama is making an outrageous assumption that the private sector would not hire and train folks coming home from active duty.…

The below list is incomplete as the critical vote was on Friday BEFORE the Budget "Control" Act vote. Only 22 Congressman voted to hold the line for Cut, Cap and Balance - an imperfect Bill but one I was willing to promote because it indeed capped. If your Congressman is not on this list, they cut and ran. http://www.redstate.com/erick/2011/07/30/the-22-who-held-the-line/ …

"A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity; an optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty." Winston Churchill

Mitt Romney, the unapologetic author of Romneycare, a plan that is bankrupting Massachusetts, wants YOUR vote to fix monopoly universal, unconstitutional government run healthcare. He says he can make government work better. The State of Virginia has increased insurance mandates and subsidies to the point that health insurance is not affordable to independent, individual entreprenuers and small businesses at various points in the income spectrum. So what in Bill Bolling's mind should he do?…

The Budget Control Act increases spending, opens us to more taxes, increases debt AND may take away our Representative Government through a "Super-Majority" committee which has more rights and responsibilities than our Representatives and hence we have possibly unequal representation as voters and citizens. The later idea should be explored though, if true, can't be addressed in a timely fashion.
Here is the Bill. The description of the Select Committee begins on page 51. What do you…
