The Obama Deficit

February 3, 2012 - 1:47pm – Team Dewhurst

In Texas, state government has lived within its means under David Dewhurst’s leadership. A balanced budget every legislative session has helped make Texas the most business-friendly climate where jobs have grown faster than any other state—by far!

This year, Americans are unfortunate enough to learn that President Obama has gravely miscalculated the severity of his destructive spending spree. The Weekly Standard notes that the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office discovered that Obama may have underestimated his yearly deficit by close to half a trillion dollars.

Values of my father -- Michael Reagan

February 2, 2012 - 6:01pm – Michael Reagan

Over thirty years ago, my father put Washington insiders on defense and completely transformed DC’s business-as-usual mindset with a conservative revolution. He stood strong for pro-growth, pro-life, and pro-family principles that helped us rediscover American Exceptionalism and economic prosperity.

In 2012, Texans have the opportunity to send a Reagan Republican with these same principles to Washington at a time when our future and our values are in peril. That’s why I’m endorsing David Dewhurst for Senate.

This Is Why We Fight

January 24, 2012 - 12:04pm – Team Dewhurst

Once again, President Obama has snatched defeat from the jaws of victory by blocking the building of the Keystone XL Pipeline from Canada to Houston, which would have created 20,000 new jobs.

President Obama would rather see radical environmentalists happy than Americans with jobs.

Thank you, Governor Perry

Governor Rick Perry’s presidential campaign was driven by his devotion to country and a relentless fight for the conservative principles we have applied to Texas. Governor Perry put forth an inspiring vision for the future of our country during his campaign.

America Needs Patriots like David in the U.S. Senate

January 18, 2012 - 11:50am – Michael Reagan

I enthusiastically endorse Lt. Governor David Dewhurst in his campaign to be the next United States Senator from the great State of Texas. David Dewhurst is the embodiment of a true Reagan Republican and is exactly the type of candidate that would make my father proud. He is not a creature of Washington.

Time and time again David has successfully fought for the core social values we conservatives hold dear and has amassed an impressive record as a fiscal hawk. As Lt. Governor, David Dewhurst has reduced spending by billions of dollars and consistently balanced the state budget without raising taxes. In fact, David Dewhurst helped pass the largest tax cut in Texas history.

I’m endorsing David Dewhurst for U.S. Senate

Mike Huckabee and David Dewhurst

Huck PAC and I are pleased to endorse Lt. Governor David Dewhurst for U.S. Senate from Texas.

A native Texan, David Dewhurst has served as Lt. Governor and President of the Texas Senate since 2003.

Lt. Governor Dewhurst is a strong fiscal conservative, with a record to show for it. He’s been an ardent supporter of legislation to create new jobs and improve the economy of Texas.

Lt. Governor Dewhurst repeatedly helped cut spending and taxes, including the largest tax cut in Texas history and balancing every budget since taking office. As a result, Texas' economy has grown faster than the national economy and more Texans are employed than at any other time in the state's history.

Not only is he a fiscal conservative, but he shares our social values as well and will continue to fight for our shared values in Washington.

Video: "An Act of Outrage"

December 29, 2011 - 11:14am – Team Dewhurst

The Dewhurst for Senate campaign released a new web video, entitled “An Act of Outrage,” highlighting Attorney General Eric Holder’s inability to preserve state sovereignty by striking down Voter ID legislation. Instead of protecting the rights of each state, Holder has used the Justice Department to restrict meaningful legislation that ultimately prevents voter fraud.

Enough is Enough

December 28, 2011 - 2:16pm – Team Dewhurst

Last week, the United States Justice Department rejected South Carolina’s Voter ID law based on the Justice Department’s partisan claim that protecting ballot integrity is discriminatory.

Now it seems Attorney General Eric Holder has set his sights on Texas’ recently passed Voter ID law.
