In its arrogant quest for power, the Republican Party has continuously turned its back on hardworking Texans and families who get up every morning, go to work and play by the rules.

A year from now, you'll see a whole different party than we have now.

The Republican Party is not inclusive.

We're stuck with Tom DeLay, Rick Perry and the rest of the corrupt Republican leadership who's auctioned off the state Capitol to the highest bidder. Their pay-to-play style of politics has put special interests over the best interests of our state.

The Republican Party does not reach out.

Tom DeLay is an historically giant figure in the ascendancy to power of the Republican Party for the last quarter of the 20th century and into the 21st century. If you look back at virtually everything we've accomplished, he's been vital to that success.
