Use this for your 'blogging' or talking points

Our campaign distributes talking points to our supporters. In this crunch time of the primary, we want to distribute these to you as blogging points, and we encourage you to use this to explain why you support me when you write or comment on blogs or news sites.

Campaigning today takes place online and offline. We are doing as much as we can to reach out to voters. We need you to talk online about why you support me and our campaign.

"Our district needs new leadership and new ideas. Let me outline my plan for the future.

Johnson Space Center must also remain a top priority. As NASA transitions away from the Shuttle and toward the new Orion spacecraft, Johnson will remain a vital part of our local economy and national treasure and must continue to receive the funding it needs.

In addition, we must continue to fight global terrorism to keep our country safe."

Thank you again for helping us take our campaign online to elect new leadership with ideas and vision for our community.
