We've been busy!

(Great original graphic by The Texas Tribune)
Here we are near the end of February, and we still don't have a firm date for the primary! The latest from the courts is that we're shooting for May 29, but in order for that date to stick we have to have maps decided by the first week in March. That happens to be roughly when the Washington, DC district court is also meeting to talk about the maps. So, there is still a possibility that we won't have elections until some time in June.

If you would like to read more, The Texas Republican Party and attorney Michael Li are following the process closely on their blogs.

We'll keep you updated as we know more!




The first roll of civil government is to protect life. Thanks to the super-majority of pro-life legislators this past session, we were able to achieve significant advances in the defense of innocent human life.
  • Passed HB 15 - the "Sonogram Bill" - This bill requires that women who are about to abort their children be offered the opportunity to see a sonogram.
  • Cut funds to the abortion industry and Planned Parenthood - Some estimates put the number at $88 million taken from all abortion providers and affiliated services--$47 million of that redirected from Planned Parenthood alone.
  • Stopped abortion funding at county hospitals - An amendment by Rep. Wayne Christian closed a loophole that previously allowed county hospitals to pay for abortions with taxpayer funds.
  • Halted several attempts to attack pro-life pregnancy centers and other measurers harmful to the pro-life cause


Hundreds of citizens have offered their help on the campaign in some way, and more are calling all the time to ask how they can join the cause!

The full interview is embedded below!

Thank you to the Texas Tribune for hosting the event and to Evan Smith for taking the time to talk with me.

Rep. Simpson has more donors than any other freshman!

Jan 23, 2012 @ 07:13:54

 
Thanks to your support...

We reported more donors on the finance report
than any other freshman running for re-election!

 
You spoke loudly and clearly in favor of liberty by your generous support. By your donations, you told the establishment that you are tired of the good ole' boy network--you want someone to champion limited government and a return to the Constitution.



Including those who donated since the report,
400 people
have contributed more than
$83,000
to our campaign for Texas and Liberty. 
 




I am happy to announce that we reported more donors on the January report than any other freshman running for re-election. In fact, only two members of the entire House running for re-election reported more donors than we did!*

By contrast, our opponent reported less than 75 donors and only a little over $16,000 in donations. (By the way, the newspaper incorrectly reported that Mr. Merritt's campaign had almost a quarter million in cash....what he really has is almost a quarter million in debt!)

Did you miss the chance to contribute in time for the report? Then contribute $10, $25, $50, $100, or any amount securely online today!

Voters are supporting our campaign because they saw that I would stand up for them when it mattered. I promised to support fiscal conservatism, the Constitution, voter ID, and other issues important to East Texas voters—and I fulfilled that promise.

This is an important step forward, but the fight is not over. Mr. Merritt has boasted of spending substantial amounts of personal wealth on the election because he liked his position in Austin. As you consider what you value most in this new year, please consider a contribution to the cause of liberty! You can contribute securely online at www.DavidSimpson.com/contribute.
