CAMPAIGN ELECTION FOR CANDIDATE JANE “BITZI” JOHNSON MILLER IN THE STATE OF TEXAS
May 4, 2013

Pols 2312 State and Local Government

Introduction

We are proud to introduce the next governor of the great State of Texas, Ms. Jane “Bitzi” Johnson Miller. She is a staunch Conservative Republican whose proud Texan traditions are deep rooted here in the Lone Star State. A native Texan who grew up in West Texas, she comes from a great line of proud Texans including former Governor Joe “Big Daddy” Johnson. Ms. Miller attended Harvard and earned a Master’s in Business Administration. In this difficult and uncertain time of economic recession, she has been an innovator and business leader. She knows the kinds of policies Texans need in order to free themselves from this recession and emerge with Texas as a global economic leader. In addition to being an accomplished business woman, she knows the value of being a single mother, and has always emphasized the importance of family, raising her two children to become role model in their communities and proud Texas citizens. Everyone knows you “don’t mess with Texas” and so they will learn not to mess with Bitzi, for she will fight for Texas families and businesses, creating economic growth while retaining the traditional values our great State needs. As you all know our country is facing many problems including lack of healthcare, proper transportation infrastructure, education expenses, unemployment, minority issues, including their education and immigration. It is with these issues that Ms. Jane “Bitzi” Johnson Miller would like to base her platform. Cultural and Regional Support
Because Texas is geographically large and diverse, it is made up of numerous distinct regions, each of which is characterized by diverse levels of wealth, types of economic activity, density of settlement, racial and ethnic mix, and political

    Texas election is a most diverse and unpredictable state as it was before. Since it is considered the Red state in recent times, but great candidate still can influence the political situation in Texas. Various surveys have shown urban areas in Texas are more liberal whereas there is still a stronghold of conservatives on sub-herbs and rural Texas. A great candidate who understands rich culture, variety and boldness of Texas can influence the election in Texas no matter it's in the district or in the…

    While I can not attended this event because I am away at school I urge all people who are in the Chicago-land area to consider attending. Betsy DeVos is Trump’s nominee for Secretary of Education. Her goal is to use taxpayers money to fund charter schools and vouchers for private/religious schooling. We have seen in the past that vouchers (while a good idea in theory) do not work. As for using taxpayers money to fund religious schooling—- it is a direct violation of separation of church and state. DeVos has “cloaked” her ideas of privatization of the education system by saying that parents should “choice” where their children go to school—this is a luxury not all families will get. It is my belief that DeVos will cause great damage to public…

    The article “Rick Perry Meets His Alamo” Gail Collins argues that the running candidates are ironically appealing but the most laughable was Rick Perry. The article contains what Collins describes as a crushing blow for those of us who have taken the time to read “FED UP! Our Fight to Save America from Washington” in which Perry announced that “Americans were tired of being bossed around” and being told “how much salt we can put on our food, what windows we can buy for our house and what kind of cars we can drive. “As a result of these statements Rick Perry has taken a sour defeat by throwing in the towel on the Republican race, leaving everything to the remaining four candidates. As Rick’s claims in his farewell address “We have a tremendous field of…

    Texas history itself had its own amazing story. The small number of American settlers moved to the land of Texas had led to the dramatic war with the Mexicans. The land of Texas was used to be owned by Mexicans. Due to the argument between Texans and Mexicans caused the battle of San Jacinto and Mexican War. In long ago before American settlers moved to Texas, this place was so rich and an abundance of land. Spanish settlers have lived there for many years. When American settlers have expanded in the United States of America, they mostly moved to the West for new life. Their curiosity did not stop themselves from moving to the West. Like other American settlers had moved to the West, they decided to settle Texas. The life in Texas during the early 1800s was such an unpredictable until the battle of San Jacinto and Mexican War had existed. Within several years after the battles, Texas was named as independent country known as Republic of Texas in the year of 1836. Later, Texas had joined the statehood of United States of America in 1845. There have some important background history about Texas. The American settlers were the beginning of the progress of Texas 's independence. The Republic of Texas was the historical climax to the statehood of Texas. The Mexican War had been involved in the beginning of Texas 's annexation in 1850s. American settlers decided to move to Texas because this place was big and rich with resources and possibilities. It was also largely part of Mexico. Moses Austin went on the long trip to San Antonio to get permission from Mexican government to bring a group of…

    The constitution of Texas has some unique provisions that affect the state’s government in a unique way. One of these unique provisions affects the balance of power in the executive branch of Texas’ government. The Texas Constitution does not grant the governor power to appoint his cabinet as is so with the United States president. In Texas, cabinet members are elected to their seats, giving the governor nearly no control over them in theory. This executive separation of powers grants the governor nearly no power over the inner workings of the executive branch.…

    The current Texas Governor, Rick Perry, announced his candidacy for President on August 13, 2011, and looks like he is in line for the number one spot in the 2012 Presidential Campaign. Perry, a committed conservative, grew up in a small, rural town called Paint Creek, where he worked on the family farm, played football and was a dedicated Boy Scout. Perry actually went to Texas A&M University and was an Aggie Yell Leader for the Fightin’ Texas Aggie Corps of Cadets, graduating with the class of ‘72. Perry then enlisted in the Air Force, but was honorably discharged 5 years later with the rank of Captain. Perry went back to his home town and ended up marrying his high school sweetheart, and a few short years after had a son and daughter. After Perry went on to serve three terms in the House of Representatives, he took the spot of Agriculture Commissioner and served two terms there. Perry then ran for Lieutenant Governor of Texas and two years later became Governor, when George W. Bush resigned to become President. Perry is now following in Bush’s footsteps once more, trying to become President of the United States. Perry wants to open more job opportunities, control spending and cut taxes.…

    Redistricting is a pressing issue, especially recently in Texas. The redistricting of Texas by the Republicans has caused a huge ruckus, making Democrats very angry. This is because the lines are being redrawn mainly to benefit the Republican Party. However, this is not a prohibited practice. Also, other factors such as population growth can be used to justify the extra redistricting.…

    Texas is a large state with a vast population that has a variety of diversity and perspectives about the government. The perspectives of the people are important since they define the political culture of the state and affect how others in different nations perceive us. Texas is often described as having a combination of traditionalistic individualistic political culture. Some patterns that reflect Texas’s political culture are taxes kept low and social services minimized. Also, business leaders are the people that have a major say in how the government is managed. In Texas the state has a diversity of views in how the government should be managed which makes it more difficult to classify the political culture. (Champagne and Harpham, pg. 6)The…

    Obama Campaign

    This case attempts to provide an understanding of the main reasons of success in the Obama campaign strategy in 2008. Obama`s victory was a result of a well-planned marketing campaign that targeted the right market segments with the right message. When Barack Obama announced his candidacy for the American presidency in 2007, the newly released Gallup Poll of Democratic Presidential Candidates demonstrated that Hillary Clinton was the front-runner in the race among Democratic voters with 48 percent of support. Jonh McCain was also one of the favorites in the country where the majority of people didn’t expect Obama to win the election. However, Obama was the first candidate who used for the first time in the presidential campaign all the tools of online marketing setting new standards. With the help of the founder of Facebook, Chris Hughes, Obama campaign used social network to enable supporters to help Obama to get elected. Chris Hughes designed mybarackobama.com that helped to raise by the end of the campaign $600 million in contributions from more than three million people, create more than 35, 000 groups of Obama`s supporters and 150, 000 events related to campaign (http://www.wired.com/threatlevel/2008/11/propelled-by-in/).…
