From Representative Raul Torres
Texas Insider Report: AUSTIN Texas Over the past 30 years our government has gotten bigger meaner and has become addicted to spending. Today we continue to have political leaders in Washington and Austin
that more government and more spending is the answer to all of our problems. I believe we must change this now!
The 2012 elections will be one of the most important elections of our lifetimes and we cannot afford to lose this fight. Because of the crippling national recession and the lack of common sense leadership you and I are faced with an uncertain future.
The Challenges Ahead
Consider these facts:
- Over 900000 Texans are unemployed
- Home values continue to slide
- Home foreclosures are high
- Insurance rates continue to rise
- College tuition continues to increased each year
- Price of gasoline is over $3.25 per gallon
- The nations debt has exceeded $15 Trillion dollars!
- Texas is projected to have another $8-$10 billion shortfall
- Our nation faces a high school dropout crisis. 25 of all students and almost 40 of our black and Hispanic students dont graduate on time
You add this to our unique problems we are facing in Texas such as water shortages rising debt costs unsustainable pension and Medicaid costs need for more roads and safer bridges high unemployment and growing demands on our education system and you can quickly see that we have some very serious issues that need fixing now.
Where is the money going to come from to adequately deal with all these issues? The career politician says More revenues which is another way of saying higher taxes. I say NO. Not yet.
What Is On Peoples Mind
What is on peoples mind and what is on your mind and my mind and everybody elses mind are the questions How am I going to provide for my family? How am I going to give my children the chance to do all things I could not do. This is the number one issue facing us today.
The Solutions Ahead
First we must embrace the American free enterprise system that has made us a nation where those dreams has been achieved more than any other place in the world.
Second there is no need to implement a tax increase. What we need is to implement Lean Six Sigma into our state and local governments. This will save the state billions of dollars in spending.
Third since last January I have been working and fighting to get Texas back to work and on the right track. We balanced the budget without a tax increases and we passed SB 563 to introduce Texas to the Lean Six Sigma process. My team and I wish to continue to pursue these types of ideas to create more jobs and more opportunities for everyone.
Obama and Trial Lawyers Pumping Millions Into Texas
Your support is critical to stopping the liberals from increasing your taxes. Barack Obama and the Texas Trial Lawyers are planning on spending millions of dollars to elect liberal
Democrats all across the state.
This is the most well-funded and aggressive liberal propaganda machine in history. Defeating the Liberal Agenda will take a fully funded targeted effort that starts at the grassroots and uses it resources wisely to register identify and turn-out those voters who share our beliefs in smaller government and pro-job growth policies. I am asking for your help.
Thank you for continuing to stand with me and together lets fight for liberty and freedom for your family and for mine
Until next week lets talk and Lets Move Texas Forward!
