Fuck Yes Texas

New ad from Democratic Governors Association on why Texas needs to replace Rick Perry:
Twenty-five years as a politician changes you. You think injecting 11- and 12-year-old girls with a controversial drug — without a parent’s consent — is a good idea? You think it’s right to use a government takeover of Texas homes and property — so foreign companies can get rich? You spend taxpayer money on a fancy mansion — while Texas faces an $18 billion dollar deficit? On the issues, 25 years as a politician has changed Rick Perry — for the worse.
It seems like the year for a protest vote. I’m tired of feeding the establishment by voting for their candidates. Rick Perry has been very ineffective and scares the crap out of me sometimes, and he even has the gall to run for another term. People used to think running for 3-4 terms as a shameful…

Regional differences amuse me.
Last night, while helping to redecorate our bathroom at 2:30 in the morning with some of my sisters, it was pointed out that I say y’all with “reckless abandon.” Apparently people think it’s funny. Sometimes I love being from Texas.
Other times I don’t though, which is why I’m currently figuring out my absentee ballot so I can do my part to help Bill White get elected as governor.
Also, our bathroom is beautiful now; we’re all quite proud.

You. Guys.
Bill White, Democratic candidate for Governor of Texas, loves The Most Interesting Man In The World. Can we just hire him already?

It appears that one of Rick Perry’s pet projects, the Texas Enterprise Fund, is falling short of its job creation goals. The Fund, which has distributed more than $400 million to growing businesses since 2003, might not be doing a bang-up of a job in bringing jobs to (and keeping jobs in) Texas….

Everyone calls for term limits; very few people actually follow through on them. Now Bill White is calling for them.
Taking a page out of the Hutchison handbook, Democratic gubernatorial candidate Bill White called for gubernatorial term limits today.
He’s been taking pages from the Hutchison playbook for a while now. In case no one noticed, her plays didn’t work. Bill and his staff should probably burn that book if they have any real designs on winning the gubernatorial race.
“Texans want to see less power in the hands of the government rather than more,” says White spokeswoman Katy Bacon.
Only problem is that in this election period, the idea that a Democratic candidate wants to dissipate, rather than concentrate, power is not a believable narrative. Campaigns are about narratives. To earn a voter’s support, that narrative has to be believable.
For Democratic Texas gubernatorial candidate Bill White the future of the state is in the population of Hispanic origin and therefore he has promised to fight for their education and well-being.

I have mentioned that I get the occasional letter, email, phone call, etc., from candidates in San Antonio, Bexar county, and around Texas. When I do get one of these, I will be sharing them with you. I believe that as citizens, we have a bigger responsibility than to just vote, we should also…
Rick Perry (R, Gov of TX) announced six days ago his plan to cut the drop out rate.
Texans 18 years and under should not get drivers licenses without certifying school attendance or enrollment in home school, private school or GED courses. Apparently Perry didn’t know—or doesn’t care—that this has been Texas law since 1989, and he has been responsible for enforcing it since 2001.
