Jackie Yates, Nacogdoches Republican Chair:
Friends & Fellow Republicans:
I hope you had a WONDERFUL Christmas and are ready for a great New Year!
To start off 2011, there will be a swearing in ceremony at the Nacogdoches County Courthouse this coming Saturday, Jan.1, 2011, at 10:00am at the 145th District Courtroom. Come and support our elected officials as they take the oath of office and begin their work in 2011! I hope to see you there!
Also, below is part of an email I received from the Texas Conservative Digest that is calling for people to come to the State Capitol on January 11th. You can read the details below – Read the section that starts “Showdown at the State Capitol..”. This day will be the beginning of the 82nd Texas legislature and the first thing to be voted on is the election of the Speaker of the House. Joe Straus will running as the incumbent, and more information on his left leaning slant is listed a section near the bottom – See the things numbered 1-9 – These do not even mention that Joe Straus campaigned for and publically spoke for a Democrat this past election. It would be good if we could get a great number of REAL conservatives showing their support for a REAL conservative speaker in Austin on January 11th!

Showdown at the Texas State Capitol Scheduled for January 11th ! Conservatives Need To Be There!
TCD – It’s time to SPEAK-UP Folks. All the work that was done in 2009 and 2010 will go down in flames if Joe Straus is re-elected as Speaker of the Texas House. On opening day of the 82nd Texas Legislature — Tuesday, January 11, 2011, from 12:00 to 3:00 P. M., we need you in Austin at the State Capitol. I know – it’s a work day for all of us – but if there is way for you to be there – this is our shot to really put Texas in the lead nationally. Joe Straus will, once again bring his Democrats and RINO coalition to shoot down the conservative agenda IF he is re-elected. We need to be there to let our elected representatives hear from the people who put them in office – and who can take them out again!!
The very first order of business in the Texas House will be the selection of a Speaker. When that vote is taken, we need as many people as can fit into the Capitol to be there to see how your Legislator votes. We are about to find out who the truly conservative Legislators are that we elected and who are the ‘Posers’! Bring your flags, pad and pencil, cameras, tape recorders and come prepared to take the word back to your home districts. The days of politicians ‘hiding in the night’ are over and Election 2012 starts January 11th, 2011!!

Obama Returns to ‘End-of-Life Plan’ That He Said Didn’t Exist
New York Times – WASHINGTON — When a proposal to encourage end-of-life planning touched off a political storm over “death panels,” Democrats dropped it from legislation to overhaul the health care system. But the Obama administration will achieve the same goal by regulation, starting Jan. 1. Read the full story: http://www.nytimes.com/2010/12/26/us/politics/26death.html?_r=2&hp

Yoo-hoo, Beverly Woolley…
By David Smith (EMPOWERTEXANS) (12/22/2010)
(Beverly Woolley is the Texas House member for the 136th District out of Houston)
Endorsing Straus doesn’t make Straus a conservative. It makes you a liberal.
The man you endorsed:
1. Was brought to power by the Democrats
2. Only has unanimous pledges for Speaker from one party in the House of Representatives: The Democrats. Straus is the Democrats choice.
3. Presided over a session wherein roll-rates indicated clear Democratic control
4. Opposes revenue and appraisal caps and chaired Ways and Means with a liberal Democrat who bragged about killing it
5. Appointed another gatekeeper on Elections who killed Voter ID
6. Is unanimously opposed by every grassroots group that has spoken out on this speaker’s race, even county Republican parties.
7. Headed up a fundraiser for Democrat Patrick Rose while refusing campaign money to all Republican challengers. Republican challenger Jason Isaac won anyway.
8. Has intimidated those opposing his speakership.
9. He has a career 100% NARAL rating and defends Planned Parenthood
When establishment politicians go to battle they recruit conservative reputations to use as shields, since theirs become mud as soon as people start paying attention.
That’s what makes your endorsement of him such a head-scratcher. You received a 68% on YCT’s conservative scorecard, 78% on Empower Texans’s, and a 77% on Heritage Alliance’s. You were never a conservative in the first place! Your endorsement reinforces what the anti-Straus people have been saying all along: only liberals like Straus.
I guess we should thank you!

111th Congress Added More Debt Than First 100 Congresses Combined: $10,429 Per Person in U.S.
(CNSNews.com) – The federal government has accumulated more new debt–$3.22 trillion ($3,220,103,625,307.29)—during the tenure of the 111th Congress than it did during the first 100 Congresses combined, according to official debt figures published by the U.S. Treasury.
That equals $10,429.64 in new debt for each and every one of the 308,745,538 people counted in the United States by the 2010 Census.
The total national debt of $13,858,529,371,601.09 (or $13.859 trillion), as recorded by the U.S. Treasury at the close of business on Dec. 22, now equals $44,886.57 for every man, woman and child in the United States.
In fact, the 111th Congress not only has set the record as the most debt-accumulating Congress in U.S. history, but also has out-stripped its nearest competitor, the 110th, by an astounding $1.262 trillion in new debt. Read the full story:
