The same way we had a conservative Governor from Texas in Washington protecting freedom a few years ago? I'll pass.

Love those "Dr. Donna Campbell" mailers we're getting. She wants to cut the budget even more while lowering taxes. Most importantly, she's "a woman of faith".
No qualifications other than she's an extreme TEA Partier who flaunts her title and has no public policy experience or credentials.

Dewhurst and Cruz are two dried out peas who fell out of the same dried out old pod.
"The Republicans: Stand in their rich neighborhoods and
country clubs and tell us that we don't need health care reform
because we have the greatest system in the world. Stand in
their think tanks and private fundraisers and tell us war is
good while ignoring the fact its generally not their children
fighting their wars. Stand in their states, away from the
center of a tragedy and tell us people have a right to high
capacity magazines and assault weapons. Stand in their offices
and tell us that poverty, hunger and disease is not a problem
and that the rich paying their fair share isn't
necessary. Stand in their town hall meetings and tell us it's
the unions, teachers, firefighters etc. that are breaking our
countries finances."

... Think seriously about voting for Paul Sadler... he is a more truthful, reliable
and knowlegeable man than either Cruz or Dewhurst.
