(Dallas, TX) Texas rancher, businessman and candidate for U.S. Senate, Craig James, today released five years of personal tax returns as part of his commitment to ending business as usual in government.
“In this day and age, with stories of Washington leaders enriching themselves with insider trading deals, it is critically important for the public to trust the people who serve them in high office,” said James. “Transparency is the starting point for a trust relationship and the voters of Texas deserve it from any candidate who desires their support.”
Texas United States Senate candidate Craig James released the following statement regarding President Obama’s State of the Union address yesterday evening:
President Obama spoke a lot about “fairness” in his speech. But for this President, “fairness” means government chooses which citizens can profit from their hard work. The Obama Administration had no problem sending billions of hard-working Americans’ tax dollars to Wall Street or corporate bailouts. Sending our tax dollars to Wall Street doesn’t sound very “fair” to the rest of us.
Even worse, President Obama has failed to do anything about the tragic loss of productive jobs in America. Over 8.5% of Americans can’t find work—and many more have given up looking. As the private sector has shrunk, government has expanded at an unprecedented pace. The federal government’s spending has ballooned to an unsustainable $6 trillion. This is Barack Obama’s legacy.
You will deliver your State of the Union address to a joint session of Congress and to the American people tomorrow night. It is critically important that your Administration deal with the issues that face the American people living on Real Street. We want actions, not words. It is time to take action to fix our problems, and for you to admit that your programs and policies have failed.
The following statement from Craig was released to the press on Wednesday, January 18th. STATEMENT ON THE XL PIPELINE
(Dallas, TX) – Craig James, candidate to represent Texas in the U.S. Senate, released the following statement regarding President Obama’s decision to block the Keystone XL pipeline:
“We have thousands of Texans who work pipelines and refineries in our state and elsewhere, but Barack Obama is too afraid of radical left wing environmentalists to stand up for working men and women."
