    2H 0 H1H2 VALUES VOTER HANDBOOK H H H H iVOTE VALUES.ORG 100 DAYS TO IMPACT THE NATION INSIDE: – PRESIDENTIAL VOTER GUIDE – Which presidential candidate represents your Values? – CONGRESSIONAL SCORECARD – Do your senators and representative deserve your vote? ® The stakes in the 2012 election could not be higher. With policies emanating from Washington DC that challenge our historic understanding of religious liberty and force millions of Americans to violate their religious beliefs—the implications of this election are hard to overstate. So which path will Americans choose, and more importantly, how should Christians be involved? 1. Be Informed At Family Research Council we believe it is incumbent upon Americans of religious conviction to be informed and engaged citizens. Voting our values is one important and tangible way that we bear witness to our faith and serve our fellow man. To help you better understand the policies affecting your faith, family and freedom, and the many candidates who stand poised to play a role in shaping those policies, we are pleased to present our 2012 Values Voter Handbook. We designed this resource to provide you with all the information you need to cast an informed, values based vote this election cycle for those candidates running for federal office. This booklet combines both our Presidential Voter Guide and our Congressional Vote Scorecard with documentation to show where the major candidates stand on the issues and how your elected representatives voted in the 1st session of the 112th Congress. 2. Vote Your Values Up and down the ticket, men and women are seeking your vote for local, state and federal offices.But do they merit your support? Before you prayerfully cast your vote, join with Americans from across the nation and declare that you will be a Values Champion this fall, and only support those candidates who share and advocate for your cherished values: Protect Life ~ Honor Marriage ~ Respect Religious Liberty Make the Values Champion pledge by going online at iVoteValues.org.

  • Texas BOMA Legislative Update by Robert D. Miller, Yuniedth Midence Steen, and Gardner Pate November 7, 2012 the Elections
    Texas BOMA Legislative Update by Robert D. Miller, Yuniedth Midence Steen, and Gardner Pate November 7, 2012 The elections are (finally) over! Last night, across the country, voters chose not just the President, but also members of the U.S. Senate, Congress, and various state and local races. Texas was no different. The Presidential Race President Barack Obama (D) defeated former Governor Mitt Romney (R) in the race for President. President Obama won at least 303 electoral votes (at the time of writing, Florida has not yet been called for either candidate) to Governor Romney’s 206, putting the President above the required number of 270 needed to win the election. Federal Races Despite the literally billions of dollars spent this election cycle on congressional and U.S. senate races, very little changed in the grand scheme of things. In the U.S. Senate, Democrats will have 55 seats to the Republicans 45, a net pickup of 2 seats for Democrats and a corresponding net loss of 2 seats for the Republicans. In the U.S. House, while a few races are still outstanding, Republicans will comfortably maintain their majority. In Texas, former solicitor general Ted Cruz (R) handily defeated former Rep. Paul Sadler (D) to become the next U.S. Senator from Texas, replacing retiring Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison (R). After the 2011 census, Texas added four new congressional districts, expanding the delegation from 32 to 36. In 2013, the Texas partisan breakdown will be 24 Republicans and 12 Democrats, a change from the current 23-9 split. Next year, four members of the 2011 delegation will not return to Congress: Quico Canseco* (R-San Antonio), Charlie Gonzalez (D- San Antonio), Ron Paul (R-Surfside), and Silvestre Reyes (D-El Paso).

  • The November 2008 Texas Ballot
    The November 2008 Texas Ballot This post-primary look at the ballots includes Republicans, Democrats, and Libertarians (who will choose their candidates at their state convention). Incumbents names are in bold. Here's how the Texas Weekly Index (TWI) works: It's the average difference between statewide Republicans and statewide Democrats in contested elections in 2004 and 2006, by district. If it's red, or a negative number, Republicans did better in that district; if it's blue or a positive number, Democrats did better. It's not meant to predict results, but to give you a quick look at recent political history in each district.

    H CURRENT HISPANIC-AMERICAN MEMBERS H Charles A. Gonzalez 1945– UNITED STATES REPRESENTATIVE 1999– DEMOCRAT FROM TEXAS As a former judge, Charles Gonzalez has a unique, straight-forward way of finding common ground in the U.S. House of Representatives. “I’m not for pomp and circumstance,” he said in 2001. “Let’s get into the nitty-gritty and discuss our differences.”1 Charles A. Gonzalez was born the third of eight children on May 5, 1945, Image courtesy of the Member in San Antonio, Texas, to Henry B. and Bertha González. As a child, he attended Catholic parochial schools while his father served in the San Antonio City Council and then in the state senate. When Charlie Gonzalez was in high school, his father became the first Mexican American from Texas elected to the U.S. House of Representatives. (He is the longest-serving Hispanic American in congressional history, 1961–1999.) With his father in Washington, the younger Gonzalez remained in San Antonio, and after graduating from Thomas A. Edison High School, he attended the University of Texas, Austin, receiving a bachelor of arts degree in government in 1969. Three years later he earned a law degree from St. Mary’s School of Law in San Antonio. From 1969 to 1975, Gonzalez was also a reservist in the Texas Air National Guard.2 He is divorced, with a son, Leo, from his previous marriage. Gonzalez spent one year teaching school before practicing law in the private sector for roughly a decade. In 1983 he became a municipal court judge before being elected to the Bexar County Court at Law.
