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

    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.…

    Texas: For over a 100 years Texas was a one-party state of Democrats (Munisteri). Republicans did not have a chance until Abraham Lincoln who was against slavery and defended the Union during the Civil War. During this time before Republicans took over Texas was free-willed and won majority of seats in the race and had all seats in Legislature. One of the best ways to describe this era was best stated by Author Steven, “developed a free spirit, a pride in self-reliance and a work ethic that is still unmatched today “Early Texans lived, loved and died entirely by their own efforts without relying on government to fulfill their needs. Just like modern Texans, early settlers believed in families, churches and neighbors, not in bureaucracy” (Munisteri).…

    Houstons Land Use Policy

    • 803 Words

    The land use planning in Houston is different from other cities because we don’t have zoning ordinance, meaning that we can have for example “the fanciest restaurant in town right next to a tattoo parlor…” ,UH of Architecture Dean Patricia Oliver. Other cities have a different system that involves color-coded maps that let people know where and what they can and can’t have in those properties. Cities that have regulations do it because they believe that if the government doesn’t tell them what to do with the land it would be chaotic. Houston, on the other hand thinks that property owners decide what works best for their property not the government. Even though everything seems unrestricted in Houston we do have a form of organizing certain areas like neighborhoods with “deed restrictions” where owners voluntarily agree to certain restrictions when they buy property. We also have “property rights” which means that one the government cannot tell you what to do with your land. Due to the system that…

    The districts in the state are currently determined by the population in an area and not by geographical size measures. This means that a densely populated area has a physically smaller district size geographically, while a more rural area with less population density would have a geographically larger district. The population in all areas changes daily, however the only official census count is taken only once…

    Texas Culture

    Texas has a rich and long history and much of it has passed through the state over the years to become a part of its folklore. This Texas folklore is part of many cultures within the state and has even filtered outside the state. The first cultural influence on Texas was from the Paleo-American Indians. When these Indians arrived they were in a bit of a culture shock when they met the Spanish in the 16th century. In the following centuries, more people began to arrive in Texas and they brought new ways of talking, believing and doing things. The Spanish and the Mexican set the patterns south of Nueces and along the Rio Grande. Anglos brought their ways of life from the British Isles to the South and Eastern part of Texas. African Americans who came to work on the plantations on the Brazos and Trinity bottoms brought songs, stories and beliefs that came with them from Africa. Germans came directly from the Old World to the Hill Country, Cajuns came from France and eventually through Louisiana and settled in Southeast Texas. The Dutch, Danes, Polish, Czechs, Norwegians who also came here brought with them their ways of life and they all became bound together to become part of Texas. By the year 2000, Texas was…

    Texas political society and belief system are very much portrayed by the mix of three principle philosophical streams: established radicalism, social conservatism and populism. Established radicalism puts the essential political worth on political game plans that take into consideration the fullest activity of individual freedom the length of the freedoms of others are not preposterously limited. Established liberal thoughts frequently shape the premise for resistance to the utilization of government to achieve social targets. They push rather dependence on private activities or the free market to decide the best results. Notwithstanding going about as a rampart for business and the business sector economy, established radicalism in Texas additionally has…

    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…

    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.…

    Obama Campaign

    • 1572 Words

    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/).…
