Thank you very much. I guess they like what we're about to sign, huh? Right? I knew they were going to like this one. Well, thank you very much. I very much appreciate it. And thank you to our great Vice President, Mike Pence. I'm thrilled that everybody could be here with us today. I want to give special thanks to Administrator Scott Pruitt, Secretary Ryan Zinke, and Secretary Rick Perry for your remarks. I told Rick, I said, run it the way you ran Texas—[laughter]—because this is going to be a great operation. And he did a great job, and we're honored to have all three. And I'm really honored to have our Vice President, because Mike Pence has been outstanding. Hasn't he been outstanding? Together, this group is going to do a truly great job for our country. We have a very, very impressive group here to celebrate the start of a new era in American energy and production and job creation. The action I'm taking today will eliminate Federal overreach, restore economic freedom, and allow our companies and our workers to thrive, compete, and succeed on a level playing field for the first time in a long time, fellas. It's been a long time. I'm not just talking about 8 years; we're talking about a lot longer than 8 years.

  • Texas Governor Rick Perry INTRODUCTION
    2012 Presidential White Paper #10 September 23, 2011 Texas Governor Rick Perry INTRODUCTION Rick Perry has been Governor of Texas since December, 2000, when then-Governor George W. Bush resigned to become President of the United States. Previously, Perry was elected Lieutenant Governor in 1998, served two terms as Agriculture Commissioner from 1990-1998, and was a State Representative from 1984-1990. Since Perry has never served in Congress, he does not have a rating by the Club for Growth. However, the Cato Institute, a free market think tank, produces a biennial scorecard on the nation’s governors based on their tax and spending policies and actions. Over the last 10 years, Perry’s scores were: 2010 – “B” 2008 – “B” 2006 – “B” 2004 – “B” 2002 – N/A (Took office too late to be graded) TAXES The Club for Growth is committed to lower taxes – especially lower tax rates – across the board. Lower taxes on work, savings, and investments lead to greater levels of these activities, thus encouraging greater economic growth . A 30,000 foot level examination of Governor Perry’s record on tax policy reveals several pro- growth elements. He shepherded large tax cuts through the legislature as Lieutenant Governor. He signed into law a large tax cut in 2006, and he pushed for changes in the Texas Constitution that would further restrain the government’s ability to charge higher taxes. This is all on top of Texas already having a very low-tax environment. But Governor Perry does have some rather large blemishes in his record that must be noted.

  • The Republican Race for the Nomination: Romney Leads January 12-17, 2012
    CBS News/New York Times Poll For release: January 18, 2012 6:30 PM (EDT) The Republican Race for the Nomination: Romney Leads January 12-17, 2012 • Mitt Romney now leads the other candidates among Republican primary voters nationally in the race for the Republican nomination. He is increasingly viewed as the most electable candidate. • By a large margin, these voters prefer a candidate who has business experience, and they are focused more on economic issues than social issues. Romney and Gingrich top the list of candidates who would be best at handling the economy. • Key constituencies within the Republican party – notably, Tea Party supporters and conservatives -- are still divided between supporting Mitt Romney and Newt Gingrich, and in the case of conservatives, Rick Santorum. Conservatives will support Romney if he becomes the nominee, but not as enthusiastically as they would Gingrich or Santorum. The National Race and Key Republican Constituencies Nationally, Mitt Romney has opened up a lead now in Republican primary voters’ preference for the Republican presidential nomination, pulling away a bit from a fractured field. Newt Gingrich is in second, with Rick Santorum and Ron Paul (each coming off a strong early-state showing) just behind. Behind the horserace numbers lies a still-tight race among some key groups – including, importantly, Tea Party backers, the voters who powered the party’s gains in 2010 and may yet be pivotal in 2012. They comprise 44% of Republican primary voters in this poll. 2012 Republican Nomination for President (among Republican primary voters nationwide) Tea Party Non-Tea Party All Supporter Supporter Mitt Romney 28% 29% 28% Newt Gingrich 21 28 15 Rick Santorum 16 18 14 Ron Paul 15 12 16 Rick Perry 7 3 12 Jon Huntsman * 2 2 3 Undecided/ Don’t know 7 3 8 *Part of the poll was conducted before Jon Huntsman dropped out of the race.

  • The Republican Race
    CBS NEWS POLL For release: Tuesday, October 4, 2011 6:30 pm (EDT) The Republican Nomination Race: Romney, Cain Move to the Top September 28-October 2, 2011 • Mitt Romney and Herman Cain are now the leading preferences of Republican primary voters nationwide, followed by Rick Perry. But this is still a very fluid race; three- quarters say they could still change their minds. • Tea Party backers have shifted this race: they’ve now thrown more support behind Herman Cain, pushing him up into a first-place tie, and away from former frontrunner Rick Perry. • Republicans name Romney (32%), by a wide margin over Perry (21%) and Cain (8%), as the candidate with the best odds of winning the White House for them. • 63% of Republican primary voters have yet to form an opinion of New Jersey Governor Chris Christie. They are mixed about the idea of Christie entering the race, and three in 10 don’t have an opinion on that. The Republican Race In the past few weeks, there has been a shuffle atop the still fluid -- and crowded -- Republican race for the presidential nomination. Mitt Romney and Herman Cain are now tied atop the leaderboard of Republican primary candidates; businessman Herman Cain has vaulted into that position with strong Tea Party backing. Rick Perry - who led this field just weeks ago - has slipped to third place, his Tea Party support cut in half. Still, no candidate has separated themselves from the pack. Romney has not significantly added to his total support; rather, some conservatives’ preference has shifted from Perry to Cain.
