Leading in Texas Again

Texas. The word itself sounds like it was made from the grit and determination of those who founded it.

If you live in Texas, you've been given the opportunity to inherit the legacy Texans enjoy - to improve your life, to expand your liberty, to work hard and earn the reward of your wages.

Today, millions flock to Texas. They leave behind the squalor of other lands to the south, to the west, and to the north of us. They leave behind a culture of crime and poverty and tyranny.

We tell them not to California our Texas. California isn't failing for a lack of government, but too much government. True Texans know this intuitively. Sam Houston himself said that "No country is ever improved by too much governing."

When we watch what's happening in the invasion on our southern border, what would Sam Houston do? Would William Barrett Travis tolerate being overrun for a single day?

We need to return to the roots of what made Texas great from its beginning. We need to empower Texans, not bureaucrats. Sam Houston was opposed to taking power from the hands of the people. Limited government is the Texas way.

When Republicans make their voices heard - at convention, at the ballot box, in the media of all types - we need to remember what makes Texas great. We need to embrace again its worldwide reputation for excellence and independence.

Texans need to lead again. It's in our DNA. Let's show the world how we limit government and strengthen people. Let's protect Texas. Because as Sam Houston said:

"Texas can make it without the United States, but the United States cannot make it without Texas." Let's not let too much government mess with Texas, or both Texas and the United States will fall.
