Americans for Prosperity-Texas applauds Congressman Joe Barton (R-Fort Worth) for introducing a resolution which would block the Environmental Protection Agency from regulating greenhouse gases under the Clean Air Act, something the Act was never designed to do.

State Representative Betty Brown was presented the Defender of the American Dream award Monday in Terrell at the Terrell Chamber of Commerce Meeting.

The award, presented by Peggy Venable, Texas director of Americans for Prosperity, was presented with high praise for Rep. Brown’s work in the 2009 Texas Legislative session.

During this election cycle, more things will be decided than just candidate nominations.

On March 2, each of the political parties will hold precinct caucus meetings, where participants can present resolutions for consideration. These resolutions will go on to county and senatorial caucus meetings later in March, and from there members of the parties will decide whether the resolutions will go on to the state conventions this summer.
