We Stand Up And Proudly Proclaim That

That The Texas Legislature, That The Texas School Boards, The Texas Teachers, We Collectively Know Best How To Educate Our Children, Rather Than Some Bureaucrat In Washington.

It's A Tenth Amendment Issue. If You Want Washington, If You Want To Implement Their Standards, That's Your Call... We Certainly Had Higher Standards Than Common Core, So It Was A Very Easy Decision For Texans, Myself And The Legislature Included, To Basically Say We Still Believe That Texans Know How To Best Run Texas.

Beautiful, Luscious And Flowing. Atop The Governor's Head.

The God We Serve Does Not Seek Out The Perfect, But Instead Uses Our Imperfections And Our Shortcomings For His Greater Good. I Am Humbled By My Own Limitations. But Where I Am Weak, He Is Strong.

We Had A $10 Billion Budget Deficit When We Got Here In January Of 2003. We Cut That Budget Deficit; We Did Not Raise Taxes; We Came Back In '05, And We Had An $8 Billion Surplus. That's How Fast It Can Happen.
