"Burying The Hatchet" To Advance Conservative Legislation

Dear Fellow Conservative,
Harmonious relationships are essential to accomplishing goals. On Wednesday morning, January 14th, I met with Governor Rick Perry in his private office at the State Capitol in order to restore our relationship. Although Governor Perry and I have differed on some issues in the past, it seemed essential for us to "bury the hatchet" and work together to advance conservative legislation in the 2009 Texas Legislature.
Our meeting was very productive. We discussed the key legislative goals that Conservative Republicans of Texas and other conservative leaders across Texas are committed to advancing during this legislative session . They are as follows:
- A bill requiring an ultrasound for women prior to abortion
- Reduction of property tax by instituting property appraisal caps which would limit property appraisals increases to 5% per annum
- Elimination of the business tax
- Legislation addressing voter identification and fraud
These important conservative policies will produce a strong, positive impact upon the daily lives of Texas families . They w ill strengthen our economy and create jobs in the current economic downturn.
The Legislative Session runs through May 30, 2009, so time is short. Restoring broken relationships and working together for our shared goals is critical to success in this session. I praise God for His goodness in helping to restore this relationship, and I trust that He will bless our efforts in these next weeks and months.
Stay tuned for important updates on these four key legislative issues. Conservative Republicans of Texas needs your continued involvement in order to achieve the goal of passing these legislative initiatives. You have already had a tremendous impact through your contacting of the Texas State Senators, causing them to change the Blocker Rule. We must continue to press ahead on all fronts.
With much appreciation for your commitment to liberty, I remain,
Sincerely yours,
Steven F. Hotze, M.D.
President, Conservative Republicans of Texas
