The Democrats are chomping at
the bit to overtake Texas. If this happens, America will cease to exist as we
know it.
1,500 people a day are moving to Texas and it is projected that 20 million
people will be added over the next 30-40 years. What is to be done about the
increasing population?

Title: What Will the Next 30 Years Bring to Texas?
Topic: Texas Politics
Written by Senator Dan Patrick
with Dan Patrick www.DanPatrick.org
In 1979, with only 14 million Texans, illegal immigration was not a hot issue,
property taxes were not a burden, freeways were not overly crowded, toll roads
were rare, and gas was cheap.
Today there are 25 million of us. Illegal immigration is a major issue, property
taxes are forcing people out of their homes, freeways are jammed, toll roads are
everywhere, and gas isn’t cheap.
State demographers are projecting the population of Texas will nearly double
over the next thirty years. Our electrical, transportation, and healthcare
infrastructure are already bursting at the seams!

Title: Spending on Public Education in Texas: Not Enough or Wrong Focus?
Topic: Public Education
Discussed by Senator Dan Patrick
with Dan Patrick www.DanPatrick.org
Part 1 of 2
Per pupil expenditures in Texas have grown from around $5,000 per student per
year in 1975 to around $11,000 per student per year today. Some say we are not
spending enough, while others say we need to focus on where we are spending the
money now.
In addition, the Texas Education Agency, the TEA, says our drop-out rate is
about 7.3 percent, while the Intercultural Development Research Association, the
IDRA, says the ‘attrition rate’ is about 26 percent. This is a perfect example
of the government “cooking the books”.

Title: Texas Adds 80,000 Plus Students A Year. At What Costs?
Topic: Public Education
Discussed by Senator Dan Patrick
with Dan Patrick www.DanPatrick.org
Part 2 of 2
Every year Texas
public schools serve an increasing number of students. Since 2005, Texas has
been adding an average of 80,000 new students per year. Texas has
one of the largest, most diverse student bodies in the country. We take pride of
our excellent public education opportunities in Texas, but adding more students
every year has its challenges, including the ever-increasing cost per student.
With our graying population and the demands this will place on public assisted
health care programs, coupled with the explosive growth in public school student
population, where will the money come from to fund on the demands placed on
Texas government?

The Dem’s say they
lost this battle, but will win the war in the end.
Senator Patrick reports on the Pro-Life victory in Austin late Friday night.
Women will be protected, those choosing to go to an abortion clinic. More babies
will live.
During the holocaust, members inside one church located next to the railroad
tracks could hear the cries of those inside the cattle cars crying for help.
What did they do? They would begin singing, and if they could still hear the
cries for help, they simply sang louder.

Topic: Protecting Women
Discussed by Senator Dan Patrick

Senator Patrick
explains why he believes some Democrats in the Texas Senate now believe they are
losing the debate with Texas voters on the Pro-Life Bill.
Voters overwhelming oppose late-term abortions. Voters favor the safety of women
who do choose abortion. Voters favor the passage of the Pro-Life Bill and the
longer it is debated, the more voters understand that the Republicans are doing
the right thing by passing this bill. Listen in…

Topic: Anarchy in the Texas Senate Gallery
Discussed by Senator Dan Patrick
with Dan Patrick www.DanPatrick.org
Anarchy is an awful thing. And that’s what happened recently in the Gallery overlooking the Texas Senate. Plain and simple: it was “Mob Rule”.
Was the mob incited by hand motions by Democrat elected officials from the floor of the Senate? Where these like linebackers waving the arms to incite the crowd?
Should America be ruled by Mob Action? Enough is enough. A simple check of two zip codes in NW Harris County reveals that nearly one-half of the homes do NOT have even one registered voter. How do you get weeds to grow in your yard? Just do nothing……

One of the biggest issues Dan

prepping their students for the STAAR tests, with little or no results.

2016 will be here
before we know it. Like always, Texas will have a big say in who
the Presidential Nominee will be. What other states will be in on the take?
The National Republican Party played the part of a bully in 2012 - telling
states when to hold their elections, where to hold meetings, even threatening
nominees if their states didn’t comply.
Should each state have the authority to act on their own or should they follow
the NRP around like lost little children?
