2012
After a far too long absence, we are coming back! Looking forward to finishing what we started in 2010 by defeating Obama in 2012. Stay tuned...
The Obama Team and the Democratic National Committee have Texas in their sights—and they are investing unprecedented resources to take over our state. In response, the Hands Off Texas! Movement was formed as an ongoing effort to empower average Texans to fight back and protect and strengthen our Republican majority in Texas.

Texans sent an overwhelmingly loud and clear message to President Obama and the Democratic Party to keep their HANDS OFF TEXAS by electing the highest number of Republicans to the Texas House in state history. And on top of that, we won every statewide seat and picked up three additional seats in the United States Congress. Election Night could not have gone better. Here's a breakdown of what happened and the list of your new members of the Texas House of Representatives...
Stay tuned for live updates after the polls close at 7 p.m. on Tuesday night here on the Hands Off Texas! Blog and our live broadcast from the Texas GOP Election Night Watch Party in Buda, Texas...
This is the day we’ve been waiting for: our chance to send the ultimate HANDS OFF TEXAS message to President Obama and the Democratic Party by voting—and voting REPUBLICAN. If you haven’t already voted early, please make sure you stop by your local polling place and vote before the polls close at 7 p.m. Tuesday.
We've made a stand and told President Obama and the Democratic Party to keep their HANDS OFF TEXAS. On Tuesday, Texas voters will send the final message.

In case you missed it, a few weeks back we launched a segment on the Hands Off Texas! Blog called “FIVE QUESTIONS”—a chance for our candidates to unbutton their collars, roll up their sleeves and share some things about themselves with you—the voters.

As we head into the final weekend, take a moment to read through the interviews with the candidates who sat down with us…
Here’s some Thursday morning humor for you. One of our Houston area supporters sent us this great clip from an old Bob Hope movie from 1940 and we wanted to share. The more things change, the more things stay the same…

As we head into the final days of the election, nothing is more important than volunteering your time to turn out the Republican vote. All the television ads have been bought, all the mail pieces have been printed, but there’s one last thing that can make a huge impact on the outcome of this election: You.
