Campaign 2012 – Reaffirming Our Conservative Values

Campaign 2012 is finally here and I am already hitting the campaign trail fighting for our core commonsense conservative values that have made the State of Texas great and the United States the envy of all civilization.

We are truly involved in a “grand experiment” in order to make “a more perfect Union.” The generations that proceeded us had some simple commitments. They were first Christians and then Americans and Texans. They understood that we are all made in the image of God and because of that God established three primary institutions:  the Family, the Church, and the Government. And, because these institutions are created for the development and nurturing of God’s most unique and greatest creation, man and woman, in his image, the maintenance of these three institutions is serious business.

I am proud to represent East Texas in the Texas House of Representatives and I am humbly seeking reelection to continue promoting conservative East Texas values and interests. I am asking you for the opportunity to become part of that third godly ordained institution:  the Government. Because the people establish governments to do those few and defined things that their families, churches and communities cannot do alone, Government is serious business. The primary purpose of Government is to preserve innocent life. I understand this divinely inspired responsibility. This is why Texas Right to Life (http://www.texasrighttolife.com/legislators.asp) has not only awarded me their early endorsement, but also has recognized me as one of the top Pro-Life leaders in the Texas House of Representatives.

Moreover, Government should not be alien or hostile to our core commonsense values, but instead it should advance and foster those conservative principles. You sent me to Austin as a Christian constitutional commonsense conservative and all of our strong Texas conservative organizations, such as the Texas Eagle Forum (http://texaseagle.org/legislative-scorecard/2011-scorecard.html), the Heritage Alliance (http://www.heritagealliance.com/tcr/tcrhome.php), Texans for Fiscal Responsibility (http://www.empowertexans.com/2011-fri-taxpayer-champions/), and the Young Conservatives of Texas (http://www.yct.org/wp-content/uploads/ratings/YCT_82nd_Session_Ratings.pdf) have rated my voting record as one of the most conservative in the Texas House and/or endorsed my reelection candidacy.

Government exists for the people not the other way around. That is why I went to Austin fighting for conservative East Texas values even if it meant standing up against the entrenched political establishment in Austin and Washington, D.C.

Please join me for another campaign to build a conservative Texas for our children and our children’s children. I believe in the American Dream and I believe in American Exceptionalism. But I also believe in the Texas Promise and Texas Rugged Individualism. I need your vote, your financial support, and your help. Together we will begin anew and create a Texas that our forefathers would be proud of.

James White
