For nearly 30 years, he served as a Texas Peace Officer in Denton and Crockett Counties. In 1988, he was elected Sheriff of Crockett County (Ozona), Texas, and served in that capacity until his retirement from law enforcement in 1996. Wilson began playing folk and country music while he attended Texas Christian University, in the 1960s. However, his earliest musical recollections were of his father singing the old cowboy songs, such as “Leaving Cheyenne” and “Streets of Laredo.” With the emergence of contemporary cowboy music in the 1980s, Wilson naturally returned to his musical roots (http://sheriffjimwilson.com/about-2/)."

So basically, it was exactly like and Obama press conference. This is my reaction to his words, as they are "just words, just speeches," and Governor Jindals' GOP response.

My audience knows that my show is solution centric. I don't care to waste your time or my own with petty politics. Congressman Nunes has a plan and vision from America, and coming from a very blue state that is under a mountain of debt, he is a welcome surprise to the old school GOP political structure. "Rep. Devin Nunes is a Congressman from the agriculturally rich San Joaquin Valley of California. He is currently serving in his fourth term in the House of Representatives and is a member of the powerful Ways and Means Committee, which has jurisdiction over tax policy, Social Security, Medicare, and trade. He also is a member of the House Budget Committee. Congressman Nunes is a native of Tulare County, where his family has farmed for three generations. The Nunes family immigrated to America from Portugal’s Azores islands. They are part of a large Portuguese community living in the San Joaquin Valley, many of whom help to cultivate our nation’s most productive farmland. The 21st Congressional District, which includes all of Tulare County and parts of Fresno County, is the most diverse and valuable farm land in the United States. The region consistently ranks first in the nation; both in terms of crop diversity and crop value. It is also the largest milk shed in the world. Congressman Nunes graduated from Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo, where he received a bachelor’s degree in agricultural business and a master’s degree in agriculture. Following college, he focused his attention on educational issues and was elected to the Board of Trustees for the College of the Sequoias (COS). During his tenure on the COS Board of Trustees, Nunes led the effort to provide smaller communities greater access to the Internet and satellite educational services. He also worked to provide more opportunities for high school students to access community college classes. In 2001, Nunes was appointed by President George W. Bush to serve as California State Director for the United States Department of Agriculture, Rural Development. However, when congressional boundaries were redrawn in 2002, Nunes was afforded a unique opportunity to represent his home town in the House of Representatives (http://www.nunes.house.gov/index.cfm?FuseAction=AboutDevinNunes.Biography."

Below is from his website: "John Dennis is an entrepreneur, husband and father. John is running a campaign that highlights the failed policies of Nancy Pelosi, which have impacted all San Franciscans. These include Pelosi's ineffective economic stimulus programs that have added over one trillion dollars to America's growing debt and have done little to lower high unemployment in San Francisco and around the country. He opposes the aimless wars in Iraq and Afghanistan that have resulted in thousands of casualties and a total cost of over one trillion dollars. He opposes her failure to protect individual rights and privacy; for example, the failure to repeal either "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" or the Patriot Act. To address the trillions in growing U.S. debt, as well as current deficits, he supports cuts in the budget. These cuts include foreign military spending, notably savings achieved by ending the wars and returning the troops to the U.S. He advocates protecting personal liberties and privacy as it applies to orientation, drug consumption, and domestic intelligence surveillance. John Dennis has garnered support from Democrats, Republicans and Independents, has been endorsed by former Vice Presidential candidate Matt Gonzalez and activist groups like the Log Cabin Republicans. John and his wife Heather live and work in San Francisco (http://www.johndennis2010.com/john_dennis)."

President Coolidge is often misrepresented and mischaracterized by liberal historians. This book puts his commitment to the nation and low taxes into perspective. "Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful people with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb." "No person was ever honored for what he received. Honor has been the reward for what he gave." "I am for economy. After that I am for more economy." "Collecting more taxes than is absolutely necessary is legalized robbery." "There is no right to strike against the public safety by anybody, anytime, anywhere." "It is only when men begin to worship that they begin to grow." "The business of America is business and the chief ideal of the American people is idealism. I cannot repeat too often that America is a nation of idealists. That is the only motive to which they ever give any strong and lasting reaction." From http://www.davidpietrusza.com/silent-cals-almanack.html: "I favor the policy of economy, not because I wish to save money, but because I wish to save people. The men and women of this country who toil are the ones who bear the cost of the Government. Every dollar that we carelessly waste means that their life will be so much the more meager. Every dollar that we prudently save means that their life will be so much the more abundant. Economy is idealism in its most practical form."

I am running for Congress because I believe that prosperity is possible. By "prosperity", I mean something that is our birthright as Americans and as Texans, but which we haven't seen in a long time. Prosperity means that there is a good job for everyone who is willing to show up on time and do his or her best. Prosperity means that, as a worker, you are in demand. Employers are competing for your services. Wages are rising. Prosperity means that you don't need to be afraid. If you lose one job, there is another waiting for you. You can save for the future without worrying that your savings will be confiscated by inflation. You can plan your career, plan your business, and plan your life, without having your plans thwarted by financial panics and crises. You are free to succeed without having your success confiscated by unfair taxes. Prosperity means seeing progress everywhere you look: better houses, better cars, better schools, better roads, better technology of all kinds. Prosperity means Americans back on the moon and heading for Mars. Prosperity is possible, but it will not be achieved via "stimulus", bailouts, TARP, and government takeovers of autos, banking, and health care. In other words, it will not be achieved through the things that Sheila Jackson Lee has voted for. Please look at my positions on the issues and see if you also believe that prosperity is possible, peace is possible, and freedom is possible. If you do, please vote for me on November 2. God bless you, the United States and Texas (http://www.faulkforcongress.org/)."

He has unearthed many stories that the mainstream media simply will not touch. From the New Zeal Blog: "I'm a libertarian activist and political researcher from Christchurch New Zealand. I believe in freedom with responsibility, not freedom from responsibility. My ideal society is one in which government is confined to protecting its citizens from criminals and external enemies. I believe in working with all those who are moving in broadly the same direction. The views expressed in this Blog are strictly my own (http://newzeal.blogspot.com/2008/08/about-new-zeal.html)."
