The Texas story of jobs, growth, and opportunity should be a model to celebrate, yet, theres a new movement afoot to stomp out our enterprising spirit.
Over the past decade, Texas has been an economic powerhouse. The state has created 3 out of every 10 American jobs over the last decade and recently surpassed California in tech export sales. Heck, even Jim and Pam fled Pennsylvania for Texas in search of a better life in the final episode of The Office.
Today, political operatives are swarming the Lone Star State to turn Texas into a liberal swamp. At the same time, the Obama Administration is trying to make Texas buckle under a torrent of federal rules and regulations.
My office recently issued a report about the Obama Administrations assault on Texas. It documents numerous cases where Texas defended itself from unjust federal interference.
Obamacares unconstitutional, unfunded mandate to expand Medicaid in our state has gained some attention. But thats just one part of the larger campaign against Texas.
Since Barack Obama has been president, the Department of Justice tried to dictate how Texas can run its elections. The Department of Interior imposed an unlawful moratorium on offshore drilling. Regulators at the Environmental Protection Agency tried to impose costly greenhouse gas emission rules. And, the Department of Education illegally withheld $830 million from Texas in education funding. Those are just a few cases.
Thanks to Attorney General Greg Abbotts leadership, Texas has been winning in court. These victories didnt come easy, though. Complex legal defenses require a significant amount of time, resources, and effort. And, more challenges are underway.
Tell these stories. They deal with real people, suffering the big consequences of big government.

It was Lt. Col. William Barrett Travis at the Alamo, who said, “we shall never surrender or retreat in the name of liberty.
“Cruz: Dont Turn Texas into a Liberal Swamp
Solution: secede.
Bingo!
‘...declare the causes which impel them to separation.’
Cruz, by the ‘book’; starts at the beginning. I like this guy...a lot.
If you really want to be impressed, carefully read his biography. He’s everything the press and DNC (but I repeat myself) claimed Mr. Obama was in 2008 and then some.
Are you warning that Cruz smacks of a Trojan gift?? I admit confusion.

It's not confusing when comparing fiction to nonfiction.
The book lied about obama. That ‘Cruz is everything and more’ suggested to me that the scale of deception in Cruz’ bio was greater than obama’s bio.
But I understand now. TX.
