BFLOWERS My political party is republican. I agree with congressman Ted Poe's opinion on Border Security/illegal immigration. I believe that is the most important issue in Texas right now. Ted Poe said, " As a new Member of the Judiciary Committee and Immigration Subcommittee in the 111th Congress, I will be deeply involved in these issues and will work tirelessly to secure our border and enforce the rule of law." I really trust this man. []

__illegal immigration__- This should be taken more seriously. To many people are getting away with illegal immigration, and the law must be enforced. We should make the law stronger, and those that disobey the law should be punished severly. There should be no exeptions, and no one should get away with this. __energy__- In a state such as Texas, people need an alternative source of energy. Finding a different source of energy, wind, solar, or even nuclear, will reduce reliance and drive down our oil and gas prices. We need to lose our foreign energy dependence. __taxes__- The government is increasing entitlement programs so much that the Federal Deficit will be so huge that our great grandchildren will be responsible for paying back.

The Texas government states that texas must have 2000 megawatts of electricty that comes from renewable resources.
