Party Primaries are more important by far than the General Election in November, because the outcome of about 95% of races are determined in the primary. Due to gerrymandering, most November races are a foregone conclusion. Moreover, only about 10% of citizens know enough to vote in primaries, so every primary vote counts more. For more information see Political Secrets. Races Researched and Evaluated in 2011-2012
The FairTax is a national sales tax that treats every person equally and allows American businesses to thrive, while generating the same tax revenue as the current three-million-word-plus word tax code. Under the FairTax, every person living in the United States pays a 23% national sales tax on purchases of new goods and services. This rate is equal to the lowest current income tax bracket (15%) combined with employee payroll taxes (7.65%), both of which will be eliminated. Important to note … the FairTax is the only tax plan currently being proposed that includes the removal of the payroll tax. CURIOUS?

The U.S. Department of Justice today declined to give its blessing to the Legislature’s voter ID law. The law, which would require a voter to present a valid government-issued identification card, needed the federal government’s approval through a process called “preclearance.” Texas and several other states and municipalities, mostly in the South, must go through preclearance because histories of discrimination in voting. The Justice Department wrote: “Because we conclude that the state has failed to meet its burden of demonstrating that the proposed law will not have a retrogressive effect, we do not make any determination as to whether the state has established that the proposed changes were adopted with no discriminatory purpose.” Continue reading from The Statesman… On Tuesday afternoon, the San Antonio three-judge federal panel overseeing Texas redistricting posted new maps for the State House, State Senate and U.S. Congress. We are awaiting a formal order enacting these maps, however, we expect that these will be the final maps issued by the panel. The Republican Party of Texas has carefully analyzed these maps since their release and is providing our staff’s findings via this email.
You can click on the above link to see the full analysis of the new State House districts in PDF format. This analysis shows side-by-side comparisons of the number of Republican districts under the maps used in the 2010 elections, the districts that were originally drawn by the Texas Legislature, the districts that were drawn by the three-judge panel in 2011 (and which were subsequently challenged), and the districts that the three-judge panel has issued today. The percentages are based on the average of the top 9 statewide Republican candidates in the 2010 General Election. Continue reading… In January and February of this year, the Internal Revenue Service began sending out letters to various local Tea Parties across the country. Mailed from the same Cincinnati, Ohio IRS office, these letters have reached Tea Parties in Virginia, Hawaii, Ohio, and Texas (we are hearing of more daily). There are several common threads to these letters: all are requesting more information from these independent Tea Parties in regard to their nonprofit 501(c)(4) applications (for this type of nonprofit, donations are not deductible). While some of the requests are reasonable, much of them are strikingly onerous and, dare I say, Orwellian in nature. Continue reading from Biggovernment.com |
