Plus, the Lone Star State has added more jobs year-over-year (+274,200) than any other state and has seen the 2nd largest over-the-year percentage increase in employment growth (+2.5 percent), behind only North Dakota (+4.0 percent).

Title: Amnesty International Aims to Help Kill More Babies
Topic: Texas Model: Low Taxes, Low Spending, Less Regulation

Discussed by Austin Ruse
with Center for Family and Human Rights (www.C-Fam.org)

The most widely known human rights organization, Amnesty International, has built a reputation for being a forerunner in calling attention to issues of abuse and violence of the highest order around the world, while holding true to its mission to be independent of any “government, political ideology, economic interest or religion.”

How times have changed, observes Austin Ruse, President of the Catholic Family and Human Rights Institute (C-FAM).

Much to the dismay of Ruse, C-FAM and other Christian and pro-life organizations, Amnesty International has bucked its abortion-neutral position it held since 1961.

Amnesty International now has taken up a position of pro-abortion advocacy. Tune in to hear the ‘rest of the story’.

Segment 2 of 2

To keep the Texas economy heading in the right direction, should we insist that our elected officials:

a. Balance the Texas budget without raising taxes?

b. Must Texas reduce its dependency on federal funds?

c. Do we a need a Texas T.A.B.O.R. amendment to control the growth of government spending

d. Should our elected officials understand that ‘government is the problem’ so get out of the way and let the private sector keep on keeping on.

Should our listeners, who may not have voted yet, remember three things: Texans should only vote for candidates that pledge:
1. No new taxes.
2. Keep spending low

And

3. No new regulations like Cap and Trade!
