Texas Leads All Other States in Job Creation for the Month of June and for the Past 12 Months (June 2010 to June 2011)

Mon, 07/25/2011 - 1:40pm – jordanroot

The Texas jobs engine continues to fire on all cylinders, capitalizing on the pro-growth environment fostered under Gov. Perry's leadership.

In June, 32,000 net new jobs were created in Texas according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics--more than any other state. Confirming the fact that this isn't a one-month anomaly, the Bureau also notes that from June 2010 to June 2011, Texas led all other states by leaps and bounds, adding 220,000 net new jobs.

The Texas success story is undeniable. The constant drumbeat of praise for Texas' job-creation climate under Gov. Perry consistently affirms the need for low taxes, controlled spending, predictable regulations, and a fair legal climate. Read more of the recent accolades for the Texas economy:

Legislative Accomplishments to Help Secure Our Future

Fri, 07/22/2011 - 10:51am – jordanroot

The critics insisted that it could not be done. But Texas again balanced its budget this legislative session under Gov. Perry's leadership without raising taxes. With a responsible budget and $6 billion left in the state's Rainy Day Fund, Texas can continue to thrive as the economic powerhouse leading the nation to recovery.

Michael’s video embodies the continuously profound ideas of limited government and personal liberty that allow Americans to prosper through hard work and provide for their families.

Today Governor Perry signed the Cut, Cap, Balance Pledge, promoting the sound fiscal policies that have Texas leading the nation.

The pledge includes:

"...Cut — Substantial cuts in spending that will reduce the deficit next year and thereafter.

Cap — Enforceable spending caps that will put federal spending on a path to a balanced budget.

Balance — Congressional passage of a Balanced Budget Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, but only if it includes both a spending limitation and a super-majority for raising taxes, in addition to balancing revenues and expenses."

Gov. Perry is currently one of only four governors to sign the pledge. Read more about the pledge at CutCapBalancePledge.com

Sun, 10/24/2010 - 11:04pm – jordanroot

UPDATE: Thanks to your support, Gov. Perry raised over $350,000 on Monday! But as the final days approach, the campaign is not taking anything for granted. You can still support Gov. Perry's organization to get Texans to the polls at http://do.nr/s6

Governor Perry needs your help! To build resources to turn out the vote across Texas during the last week of early voting and on Election Day, the campaign has set a one-day “Money Cannon” goal of $300,000. As the goal is approached, the cannon fills up, providing Gov. Perry the support to spread his conservative, principled message to Texas voters. To participate, visit http://do.nr/s6

As the good news about Texas’ economy continues to spread across the nation, we continue to build momentum for a November 2nd victory. But we cannot take anything for granted. This is the final push! This is the last chance to help us to the finish line!

Join Gov. Perry's HQ Round-up October 9th!

Mon, 10/04/2010 - 8:14am – jordanroot

Are you fired up and ready for November?

Are you eager to do something tangible to make a difference?

Are you fed up with Washington and ready to see conservative leadership bring this country back, one state at a time?

Do you want to do something real to help conservative leaders like Rick Perry maintain the fiscally-sound policy climate which allowed Texas business leaders create the number one job-creating economy in the nation?

October 9th, you can help push Gov. Perry towards the finish line!

Find a location near you, and help Governor Rick Perry recruit Home Headquarters to help turn out the vote during early voting all across the state.

UPDATE: A location has been added in Galveston County (Galveston Republican Headquarters 1100 Gulf Freeway, league city, 77573)--contact Elyse Derian for more information. Her contact info is in the table below.

Midnight fundraising deadline--please help today!

Thu, 09/23/2010 - 12:16pm – jordanroot

UPDATE: Thanks to all who supported Governor Perry through generous contributions to help spread his message to voters across Texas! Stay tuned to see the results of your tireless efforts as we report our fundraising totals. Although the August 23rd finance reporting deadline has passed, the campaign will still need your support through Election Day. Please consider a small donation to help secure Texas' future.

The campaign is in overdrive these final weeks, and we need your help now more than ever. Gov. Perry is running television spots statewide to highlight his pro-growth record that has Texas leading the nation in economic recovery. September 23rd (11:59 PM) marks a vital fundraising deadline for the campaign, and your gift of $10, $25, $50, or $100 will help ensure a full-throttle finish for Gov. Perry.

Principled, conservative leadership has placed Texas on the path of economic success and individual freedom. Texas has created 850,000 jobs since 2001—far more than all the other states combined! Gov. Perry has cut taxes for small businesses, balanced budgets, and set aside $8 billion in the Rainy Day Fund.

But liberal trial lawyer Bill White wants a darker path for Texas. His only in-depth policy initiatives so far call for higher taxes and more regulations! As mayor of Houston, Bill White spent more than the city took in every single year, and he has refused to rule out raising taxes to balance the state budget next year.
