J _j. c files this complaint seeking an immediate investigation by the 7 c; a > Federal Election Commission into the illegal spending A* practices of the National Republican Senatorial Campaign Committee (WRSCIt). As the public record shows, and an investigation will confirm, the NRSC and a series of ostensibly nonprofit, nonpartisan groups have undertaken a significant and sustained effort to funnel "soft money101 into federal elections in violation of the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971, as amended or "the Act"), 2 U.S.C. 5s 431 et seq., and the Federal Election Commission (peFECt)Regulations, 11 C.F.R. 85 100.1 & sea.

    This document is from the collections at the Dole Archives, University of Kansas http://dolearchives.ku.edu United States Department News of Labor Office of Information Washington, D.C. 20210 SECRETARY ELIZABETH DOLE REMARKS PREPARED FOR DELIVERY WOMEN IN LEADERSHIP LUNCHEON DALLAS CHAMBER OF COMMERCE JANUARY 30, 1990 What a pleasure it is to return to Dallas--a city which holds some very fond memories for me. I well remember your hospitality in 1984, when Republicans gathered to re-nominate the Reagan-Bush ticket, and I was also fortunate to make a number of trips to Texas during my service as Secretary of Transportation. The beauty and size of your state reminds me of the story about the Texas politician who started a speech by talking about the beautiful piney woods of east Texas, and then he moved on through the bluebonnets and out to the plains and down through the hill country to the Gulf Coast and then he got back to the piney woods and started all over again. And when he got all around the state that time, he started in again about those beautiful piney woods and bluebonnets. Right then, a little old fellow rose up in the back of the room and yelled out, "The next time you pass Lubbock, how about letting me off?" Well, whether it's Lubbock, Houston, or Dallas, Texans can be justifiably proud of the progress and economic expansion taking place throughout your state. Over the past few years, the Dallas/Fort Worth area has been recognized as a premier location for business and corporate headquarters.

  • Baselice Poll – Dan Patrick Vs David Dewhurst
    Opinion Research for Decision Making in Politics and Public Affairs ________________________________________________________________________________ 4131 Spicewood Springs Road Office: 512-345-9720 Suite O-2 email: [email protected] Austin, TX 78759 [email protected] March 7, 2014 TO: Conservative Republicans of Texas FR: Mike Baselice RE: Texas GOP Primary Survey Findings The following are key findings from a telephone survey conducted March 5-6, 2014 among N=501 randomly selected Republican primary voters in Texas who are likely to participate in the May 27, 2014 Republican primary run-off. Respondents were reached via landline (80%) and cell phone (20%). The margin of error to these results is +/- 4.4% at the 0.95 confidence level. All percentages are rounded to the nearest whole percent. Key findings are: 1. With 55% on the run-off ballot test, Dan Patrick is very well-positioned to win the Republican primary run-off for Lt. Governor of Texas. David Dewhurst is at 34%. 2. Among the two-thirds of the voters who indicate they are certain to vote in the May run-off, Patrick leads 59% to 32%. 3. Among the four out of five respondents who participated in the recent primary election, Patrick leads Dewhurst 60% to 31%. Note: Four out of five voters who participated in the July 2012 Republican primary run-off participated in the May 2012 primary. Therefore, the proportion of respondents in this survey who plan to return and vote in the 2014 run-off is in line with recent Republican primary turnout figures. 4. At 63% to 30% respectively, Patrick has a commanding lead over Dewhurst among the respondents who participated in the 2012 Republican primary run-off election.
