Didn’t see this previously posted. Click the link at top for hyperlinks involving more details and ways to respond. Hope the turnout is huge.

This is Monday at 5:30 why Obama is appearing at the University of Texas to speak to an invitation-only group of Democrats.

TO: The Obama Administration
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi
The Democratic National Committee
The Texas Democratic Party

Texas is thriving due to conservative policies implemented over the past decade under Republican leadership that have made Texas one of the greatest states in the nation to live, work and raise a family. Thanks to Republican principles of limited and transparent government, low taxes and predictable regulations, our state is well-positioned for the future and does not need more of the failed liberal agenda the Democrat majority is pushing from Washington.

We respectfully ask that you keep your…

* Hands Off Our Healthcare
* Hands Off Our Jobs
* Hands Off Our Guns
* Hands Off Our Cars
* Hands Off Our Businesses
* Hands Off Our Income
* Hands Off Our Retirement
* Hands Off Our Lives
* Hands Off Our Families
* Hands Off Our Freedom

In short, keep your HANDS OFF TEXAS!

If the “he” you mean is Obama, yes, he’ll be in Austin and Dallas on Monday - although Democrat gubernatorial candidate Bill White plans to be far, far away.

The Communist-in-Chief is going to completely screw up my Monday morning drive.

I hope he gets heat stroke.

But any kind of stroke will do.

Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.

More than just Austin is blue. Most of the Rio Grande Valley is blue as well. Much of this is just Southern Dimmocrat history/momentum, and much of it is likely due to the remote nature of a lot of the voting precincts, allowing for a large degree of ballot box "adjustment." (See references to LBJ's 1948 Senate race = Jim Wells County Box 13.)

I know. I have dinner plans. I think they are hoping the Capitol parking lot will be empty by that time.
