Texas Railroad Commission Chairman Michael Williams is in Amarillo today. I had the opportunity to visit with him briefly when he stopped at the Entrepreneur Alliance offices.
It was a fitting setting for the U.S. Senate Candidate whose message is music to the ears of Texas businessmen. He is one of the few principled and consistent conservative political figures in the country. His message is pro-business and pro-USA.
He spoke briefly on a topic that sends chills up my spine -- the Cap and Trade Scheme that Congress is working to pass. According to Williams (and I agree completely) it will have a disproportionately negative impact on Texas. It targets energy and agriculture for a significant tax burden that would cripple the state economy. I like the way he referred to it as the bill that would "cap our economy and send trade somewhere else." I think that sums it up.
Texas is one of the few states that has had positive news through the economic downturn that our country has been experiencing. That positive news is due to our pro-business economic climate. Cap and Trade will reverse those positives.
Commissioner Williams has been a public servant for 10 years on the Texas Railroad Commission. During that time he played a significant role in shrinking the size of the Commission from around 900 employees to about 600.
Hmm....smaller government, pro-business, pro-family, pro-USA...we could use some of that in Washington. With his record of integrity in office and the conservative positions that he has taken on the issues near-and-dear to all Texans, I think it is time to get him up there so that he can get to work.
I wonder what Senator Hutchison's plans are? Will she resign her seat? Or, will she try to hold onto it through the upcoming race for Governor? It promises to be interesting....

Three Important Races and My Endorsements
Today is the BIG DAY! If you haven't done so already, you need to go VOTE! In this election cycle there are three races in which I am especially interested in seeing the results.
President: John McCain and Sarah Palin. Anyone who has read my blog in the past will know that I believe the McCain Team to be by far the best for the U.S. His opponent will do all in his power to move our country toward socialism. He must be stopped. John McCain has spent his life in service to his country. That is the kind of leadership we need.
U.S. Senate (Texas): John Cornyn. Senator Cornyn has been a consistently conservative voice for Texas. His votes have reflected thoughtful attention to the traditional family-oriented values of our state. He supports our troops and seeks to protect our borders. We need to return him to Washington.
Texas Railroad Commission: Michael Williams. Commissioner Williams has been endorsed by about every newspaper in the state. The growth in the energy sector in our state has been in good hands under his leadership of the commission. We need to return him to office.
The above individuals are the kind of representatives that we need. They are not power-hungry, self-aggrandizing politicians, but are committed to serving the people of this country. That is what we need.

Texas RR Commissioner Williams Speech
Wow! I wish I had heard this speech in person. It was given by Texas Railroad Commission Chairman Michael Williams at the Texas Republican Party Convention. It is a little over 20 minutes in length but well worth it. He expresses why I consider myself a Republican. You can see the video here. He gets my vote.
