A Call to Action

Welcome my friends!

As many of you know, in 2008, I felt it was time to elect a new United States Representative to Congress for Texas District 28.  I was proud to represent those of you who continue to believe, like our Founding Fathers, that Government should be small and limited and not interfere with the rights of its citizens.  At that point in time, many in our district obviously disagreed with this view and cast their votes for your current Congressman, Henry Cuellar.  Although he has often claimed to be a conservative in the past, Mr. Cuellar has increasingly voted alongside those in the Democratic Party to grow the size of the U.S. Government and increase spending of Government Programs to the highest levels in the history of the United States of America.  

 I personally believe that this massive spending on government programs is yet one more way that liberals use the power of government handouts to continue to enslave an increasingly uneducated population by addicting them to government social services. 

 While on the surface, this appears to be an admirable effort to care for those in need, I believe that the true motivation behind this spending is to secure future votes for the Democratic Party by declaring that Republicans will remove these "free" social services if elected. 

Have you had enough "change" yet? 

 You deserve a representative who will bring honesty, integrity, and true conservative values to the office.  If you feel, as I do, that the time for talk is over and it is time for action, then join me to send a message to the politicians in Congress by voting in a representative that will truly represent your conservative interests. 

I bring the leadership experience necessary to champion the issues that affect your families and shape the future of Texas and this great nation.  I need your vote to carry your conservative message to Washington.

I humbly ask for your vote and request your support and prayers.  God Bless America!

Newsflash!

Crisis on the Border!

There is a serious crisis on our American Border and its happening in our very own district down in Webb County on the border in Laredo/Nuevo Laredo.  It appears that American Citizens are being kidnapped.  According to Webb County Sherriff Rick Flores, since 2004, 60 people have been kidnapped in Nuevo Laredo (right over the border from Laredo, TX).  These are not mexican citizens we are talking about, but American citizens.  Can you believe it?  60 American citizens kidnapped and it hasn't even made the national news.  That's more people than Iran took hostage in November 1979!  One girl in Aruba goes missing and (as it should be by the way) it is a national event for weeks.  But, why is it when 60 Americans are kidnapped in Nuevo Laredo and there is not one peep on the national news?.  Incredibly, 21 of these Americans are still missing!   Pure and simple, this is an outrage and an affront to all Americans.

There is one glimmer of hope in this grim situation.  A straight-shooting talk host named Glenn Beck, who hosts a national radio and TV show on CNN has boldly dared to alert the American people about what's going on down in Laredo.  My esteemed opponent, U.S. Representative Henry Cuellar (D-TX District 28) was a guest on Mr. Beck's show and had some advice for Sherriff Flores that every citizen in District 28 needs to hear first hand.  If you want to read the transcript, you can go to http://www.glennbeck.com/content/articles/article/198/1657/.  Although not as engaging as watching it live, you'll get the message loud and clear.  This Congressman has lost perspective while in Washington DC.   Mr. Beck has promised that he will not let this die and I hope he keeps his word because these border issues don't just affect Laredo, Webb county and Texas.  This is a national security issue and needs to be resolved.  It is no longer acceptable to say that it is being taken care of.  There is a huge amount of talent within the border communities of Texas, Arizona, New Mexico and California and if all these brilliant minds would collaborate, I'm sure a workable solution can be found.  Lets put the ingenuity of America to work to resolve this national issue.

As your representative, I will work with the Congress and also work alongside the residents of the Riogrande Valley, Web County, and South Texas to develop a workable solution to this crisis.
