31 GOP Men Don’t Think Domestic Abuse Victims Deserve Protection
In the end the renewal easily cleared the Senate on a 68-31 vote. 15 Republicans joined all members of the Democratic caucus in voting yes. Notably, the 31 Republicans who voted against renewing VAWA are all men.
All Republican women voted for the renewal.

The Republicans like to tout my own home state of Texas as being an "economic miracle". They would like for Americans to believe that the recession didn't hit Texas as hard as other states, and that is because of the corporate-friendly Republican leadership in the state. That's simply not true.
Texas was hit hard by the recession, and at least half of the states in this country have a lower unemployment figure than Texas.
Texas has the largest number of minimum wage jobs in the country -- both in number of minimum wage jobs and in the percentage of the state's jobs that pay minimum wage. That means Texas has more full-time workers than any other state that are living below the poverty line.

America A Republic or Democracy
__________________________________________________________________________________________
“What did liberals do that was so offensive to the Republican Party?
I’ll tell you what they did. Liberals got women the right to vote.
Liberals got African-Americans the right to vote.
Liberals created Social Security and lifted millions of elderly people out of poverty.
Liberals ended segregation.
Liberals passed the Civil Rights Act, the Voting Rights Act.
Liberals created Medicare.
Liberals passed the Clean Air Act, the Clean Water Act.
What did Conservatives do?
They opposed them on every one of those things, every one. So when you try to hurl that label at my feet, ‘Liberal,’ as if it were something to be ashamed of, something dirty, something to run away from, it won’t work, because I will pick up that label and I will wear it as a badge of honor.”
—Lawrence O’Donnell Jr.

What it means to be a Democrat
Democrats stand for Hope, Equal Opportunity and Fair Play.
These are the values Texans share in our personal lives and the values we expect to define our economic and social policies. Texas Democrats are building a better state and a stronger nation where those who work hard and play by the rules can achieve their American dream.
We believe:
In equal opportunity for all citizens.
In rewarding honest, hard work with a living wage and in a tax system that is fair.
In family values that are more than a political slogan.
In quality education that gives all citizens the opportunity to reach their potential.
In freedom from government interference in our private lives and personal decisions.
That individual strengths in our diverse population are a benefit.
In security in our homes and safety on our streets. Criminals should face swift and certain punishment.
In separation of Church and State to preserve the freedom to pursue our beliefs.
In a strong United States - morally, economically and militarily.
In reasonable reforms that give us cleaner and safer air and water.
