Rick Perry

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.

Rick Perry is coming to Colorado to talk about MItt Romney. What has he said about Romney in the past?

School Superintendent John Kuhn of the Perrin-Whitt Consolidated ISD made an impassioned speech to an audience of 12,000 teachers and supporters yesterday on the south steps of the capitol building in Austin Texas. He ended his speech with a reading of his "Alamo Letter" that he wrote to his state legislators. Here is the entire speech.

Mitt Romney's Republican National Convention reset isn't going according to plan. Rick Perry refused to rule out a 2016 presidential run and Chris Christie launched his own 2016 campaign—talking more about himself than Mitt Romney.

And as Ron Paul shared when asked if he would throw his support behind Romney and Ryan:

When the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) was passed in March 2010, its authors had states like Texas in mind.

Texas is unique in that it’s the only state that has the most advanced, but least accessible medical systems in the nation (if not world).

The number of uninsured Texans has overwhelmed our healthcare infrastructure and economics for the last two decades.

The ACA reduces skyrocketing health costs by increasing access to health insurance. By doing so, the uninsured would be able to receive quality preventive care to help them manage and early diagnose chronic illness instead of receiving expensive primary care in emergency rooms. The costs associated with uncompensated care are paid for by local tax payers, employers and the insured. One emergency room visit by an uninsured patient costs $1300. Multiply that by 5 million uninsured Texans, and you’ve just stumbled upon Texas’ Health Care crisis.

All Texans would benefit from health care reform – and that includes Texas businesses.

It's politics over public health. Texas Governor Rick Perry and Virginia Governor Bob McDonnell have been hard at work passing "emergency" legislation to eliminate women's health care in their states.

We've had enough. We're watching anti-women's health politicians like Govs. Perry and McDonnell and we will be standing up to their radical policies.

La legislatura republican recortó más de 5 billones de dólares de la educación pública. Las historias que estas viendo sobre las escuelas que se están cerrando y los maestros que están perdiendo sus trabajos son los resultados de esas decisiones. El Representante Estatal Rafael Anchía habla sobre crisis de la educación.
