  2. Rep. Barton got to see first hand some of the amazing work they are doing inside The University of Texas at Arlington Research Institute. You can learn more by clicking here: http://www.uta.edu/utari/

  3. With the federal dept topping $16 trillion, Solyndra is getting a mere slap on the wrist for throwing away $535 million taxpayer dollars. Do you think this sends companies using government loans the right signal?
  4. STAT of the DAY: Since President Obama took office, fewer Americans have jobs and more are in poverty, getting TANF checks, collecting disability benefits, and using Food Stamps.
  5. The House GOP budget is the only plan that ensures Medicare will remain intact for current and future retirees. LIKE this post if you think we have to do something to save this vital, lifesaving program.
  6. Sadly...This is just what opponents of the bill, like Rep. Barton, predicted! People are losing their employer based insurance coverage because of ObamaCare. Like this post if you think this law needs to be repealed and replace IMMEDIATELY!
  7. Rep. Barton was honored to speak at the groundbreaking for the new Brookshire's Food and Pharmacy Store in Ennis. The 37,400 square foot store is set to open in early summer 2013. Just more proof that the 6th District is growing! — in Ennis, TX.

  8. We applaud Sen. Tom Coburn of Oklahoma who is set to release his ‘WASTEBOOK’ next week – He teased us today with these examples:

    #8 $300,000 spent by the USDA to promote caviar consumption.
    #24 $350,000 National Science Foundation grant to study how to enhance golfers’ confidence

    Every year Sen. Coburn identifies the most wasteful things in the federal budget. In 2011, he found more than $1 billion in questionable spending, including grants to study cow burps and robot dragons.

    What do you think about what is in the WASTEBOOK?
  9. Rep. Barton toured the TXI plant in Midlothian this afternoon. He had an open discussion with company leaders about their efforts to minimize their environmental impact and improve efficiencies of all their manufacturing procedures.

  10. A powerful video by The Heritage Foundation outlining the Obama Administration's response to the deadly terrorist attack in Libya. What do you think? Were signs missed? Was the Administration hiding the truth?
  11. Good News: Unemployment drops to 7.8%, 44 Month Low
    Bad News: Unemployment Drop Masks Labor Malaise (click to see chart below)
    Tell us what you think...Which more accurately describes the nation's economic situation?
  12. Cheering for the 6th District's own Texas Rangers! First pitch is only minutes away...Win today and they win the American League West!

  13. Vice President Biden is right! The Middle Class has been buried for the past four years...Like this post if you agree with the VP.

  14. Interesting Graphic from our friends at the Republican Study Committee...Tell us how rising gas prices and falling incomes have hurt your family?
    IT'S BEEN A TOUGH 4 YEARS -- Even with a job, it’s getting harder just to get by. Check out this week's RSC Update. http://rsc.jordan.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=310278

  15. We are only 21 likes away from 3,500...Spread the word and help the Congressman hit this milestone!
  16. Expert: “When it comes to implementation of Obama’s wonderful transparency policy goals, especially FOIA policy in particular, there has been far more ‘talk the talk’ rather than ‘walk the walk.’” Do you think the Obama Administration is hiding something?
