OCTOBER 22nd
Vote Early 窶天ote Republican Candidate and Election Information Inside
From The Chairman Of the Fort Bend County GOP Mike Gibson
Fort Bend County GOP Chairman.
We are blessed to live in a county that provides a high quality of life, safe neighborhoods, job creation, educational excellence and entrepreneurial opportunity. These benefits did not happen overnight or by accident. They are the result of conservative leaders at all levels of government: • School board trustees • City councils • County governments • State and US representatives
Republicans have held most of these positions throughout our county since 1994 when we elected the first Republican County Judge since reconstruction and took control of county government. The results have been astounding with Fort Bend ranked consistently in the top 10 counties in the U.S. for relocation destination, livability, growth, diversity and household income. We are home to five of the top 20 master planned communities in the nation. Our schools have the highest graduation rates in the region. Our medical facilities are second only to the Texas Medical Center. Fort Bend is # 2 in the nation for job creation. From Katy to Needville, from Missouri City to Rosenberg, from Fulshear to Sugar Land, we enjoy the benefits of electing Republicans throughout our county. This only happens when we elect leaders who understand that “WE BUILT IT TOGETHER.” The collaboration between local businesses, cities, and the County is a major factor in Fort Bend’s success. Keep Fort Bend the leader in our state and nation by voting for strong, conservative leaders. VOTE REPUBLICAN!

Obamacare Must Be REPEALED
OBAMACARE – The Most Destructive Law in American History When Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi, and Harry Reid passed Obamacare, they used bribes, political tricks, and out-right LIES. Health care costs have risen, jobs have been lost, millions of seniors are poised to be kicked off their Medicare plan, and a staggering new debt has been placed on future generations. To protect America from socialized medicine that will cripple our economy and put bureaucrats between you and your doctor – we must UTTERLY REPEAL OBAMACARE. Over the past three years, the Obama Administration has made two things perfectly clear: they don’t care about the Constitution and they want America to look more like a European-socialist state. Passing Obamacare was the cornerstone of furthering Barack Obama’s “social justice” agenda. No single act in American history has done more to harm our freedoms, damage our economy, or create more dependence on the federal government. I want you to know I will continue to work every day until OBAMACARE IS UNPLUGGED. I hope I can count on your support in November so I can continue to work to stop Barack Obama’s unconstitutional power grabs and put America back on a Pathway to Prosperity.
