For 53 years, South Carolina Republicans have gathered together each year to forget... celebrate our party’s conservative principles, as well as the donors and activists who help promote those principles in our government. While our Party has enjoyed increasing success in the years since our Elephant Club was formed, we always have to remember that no victories are ever perma- nent. They are dependent on our continuing to be faithful to do the fundamen- tals: communicating a clear conservative message that is relevant to voters, identifying and organizing fellow Republicans, and raising the money to make it all possible. As we gather this evening on the anniversary of the tragic terrorists attacks on our homeland in 2001, we’re reminded about what’s at stake in our elections this year - the protection of our families, our homes, our property, our borders and our fundamental values. This year’s election offers us an incredible opportunity to continue to expand our Party.

    April 15, 2013 The Honorable Dave Camp The Honorable Sander Levin Chairman Ranking Member Ways and Means Committee Ways and Means Committee United States House of Representatives United States House of Representatives 1102 Longworth House Office Building 1102 Longworth House Office Building Washington, D.C. 20515 Washington, D.C. 20515 Dear Chairman Camp and Ranking Member Levin: As members of the National Association of State Treasurers (NAST), we are writing to impress upon you the importance of maintaining the current tax exemption for municipal bond interest. For more than 100 years, tax-exempt bonds have been the primary financing mechanism for essential state and local infrastructure projects. The need to build and maintain our public infrastructure has never been more acute. Three quarters of all public infrastructure projects in the United States are built by the states and local governmental entities. Eliminating or reducing the tax exemption will greatly limit our ability to address these needs, resulting in fewer projects, fewer jobs and deteriorating infrastructure. Tax-exempt municipal bonds are the primary tool that state and local governments use to finance highways, bridges, transit systems, airports, water and wastewater systems, schools, higher education facilities, and many other projects. According to the American Society of Civil Engineers, the nation should spend $2.749 trillion by the year 2020 to meet our currently anticipated critical infrastructure needs.1 Much of the responsibility for addressing these needs rests with states, counties, and cities. Tax-exempt municipal bonds provide a mechanism for bringing private capital to those public projects, while saving an average of 25 to 30 percent on interest costs compared to taxable bonds.

  • Pressemitteilung Zu Texas
    Pressemitteilung zu Texas Die Pop-Institution Texas feiert das 30-jährige Jubiläum ihres Debütalbums „Southside“ am 15.11.2020 in der Großen Freiheit 36 Hamburg, Dezember 2019 – Am Anfang stand „Southside“. Das bahnbrechende Album bildete den Auftakt zu einer grandiosen Karriere, in deren Verlauf Texas global 40 Millionen Alben verkauften und weltweit Fans in ihre Konzerte zogen. Diese ikonische Scheibe wird die Band um die charismatische Sängerin und Songwriterin Sharleen Spiteri komplett vortragen, inklusive Hits wie „I Don’t Want a Lover“ und „Thrill Has Gone“. Natürlich dürfen bei dieser Show auch die übrigen Texas-Hits wie etwa „Summer Son“, „Inner Smile“ und „Say What You Want“ nicht fehlen. Die Schotten gastieren am 15.11.2020 in der Großen Freiheit 36 in Hamburg. Texas wurden 1986 in Glasgow von Bassist Johnny McElhone gegründet. Der Name der Band stammt von dem Wim-Wenders-Film „Paris, Texas“, für den Ry Cooder seinerzeit den Soundtrack komponierte. Mit Frontfrau Sharleen Spiteri fand die Kapelle eine kreative Persönlichkeit, die den Sound des Septetts bis heute entscheidend prägt. Musikalisch sind Texas von Northern Soul, Disco sowie den Bee Gees und Orange Juice beeinflusst. „Southside“ wurde im März 1989 veröffentlicht und verkaufte sich weltweit rund zwei Millionen Mal. Als erste Single wurde „I Don´t Want a Lover“ ausgekoppelt, die prompt auf Platz 8 der UK Charts landete. Es folgten Tourneen durch Europa und den USA. Im Verlauf ihrer Karriere präsentierten die Schotten weitere Bestseller-Alben auf, darunter: „White On Blonde“ (1997), „The Hush“ (1999) und natürlich „The Greatest Hits“ (2000). Letztere stellt mit rund fünf Millionen verkaufter Einheiten die bislang erfolgreichste Veröffentlichung der Band dar.
