What a tremendous victory Republicans in Texas and across America expreienced on November 2nd. Texas increased their Republican representation in Congress by three and added at least 22 seats to the Texas House of Representatives to establish a clear-cut majority. Across the nation the Republicans gained 6 additional seats in the US Senate and over 60 in the House (some seats are not yet determined). They also added to the Republican majority of Governors and now control the majority of houses in State legislatures.
While the hoped for take-over of the US Senate did not occur the gains are sufficient to give the Republicans effective control. We were successful because we did not listen to the political pundits and play dead. For whatever reason, and not necessaily because we can govern better, the Ameican people have given us responsibility to turn America around and re-direct the ship. Without doubt, they were not pleased with the heavy-handed manner with which the Democrats forced through legislation they did not favor, and then tried to blame everyone else for their failures.
The TEA Party movement provided the fire under the pot and got America out of their rocking chairs and involved more than in many years. Without the tremendous citizen involvement this would have been just another "ho-hum" mid-term election.
NOW, we must, as Republicans, prove we can govern within the will of the people. We cannot be parochial. We cannot be divided. We must put our most unified face forward and prove that we can take the USS America in the "right" direction. 2012 will be here before we can say "Election" and we must continue our agressive efforts to stengthen our party and our country.
So, VICTORY 2012 HAS BEGUN and a new website so named will soon be up and running. Join the effort to keep the ship turing in the "right" direction.
