Texas

The 2013 Texas Democratic Political Clubs Challenge from the Sugar Land Democrats Club.

There are 58,344 federally licensed gun dealers in the United States and 9% (5,189) are in Texas. That’s over three times as many gun dealers than post offices and four times more gun dealers than McDonald's.

The gun lobby claims that conducting background checks for all gun sales would be "inconvenient." But under the Senate background checks bill, a gun buyer and seller can just meet at a licensed dealer who would perform the background check.

Texas voters- even Republicans- have had enough of Rick Perry. PPP's newest poll finds that only 31% of voters think Perry should seek reelection next year, compared to 62% who think it's time for him to step aside. He's among the most unpopular Governors in the country, with only 41% of voters approving of him to 54% who disapprove.

Perry could face great peril in a primary challenge next year. Only 41% of GOP primary voters want him to be their candidate again, compared to 47% who think it's time for someone else.

Paul Sadler: Cruz does not represent Texas.

With Mitt Romney attending a fundraiser at the members only Petroleum Club tonight in Midland, TX, he's proving once and for all he's in the tank for Big Oil. Mitt Romney wants to repeal laws that crack down on oil speculators who drive up gas prices at your local pump and would cut investments in clean and renewable energy sources to pay for massive tax cuts for millionaires and billionaires.
