As we move toward Election Day, it will be a relief to get it behind us. Conservatives have worked hard for the President and other key candidates. Some things have gone right and some wrong and TCR will review the results and reasons after the election.
The outlook is for close races and your vote is critical. Electing conservatives will make a positive difference, and electing liberals will be a major negative.
2004 Election - Key Race Recommendations
With early voting ending and Election Day coming up soon, TCR now releases its key race recommendations in Texas.
This is a very important election in Texas. Conservatives have the opportunity to consolidate legislative gains and send six new conservatives to Congress where they are sorely needed, given the reign of the runaway spenders in both parties. The recommendations are for races where your vote could be the difference.

City of Houston Propositions
For Prop 2 - Against Prop 1
In its bid to confuse voters - City Hall put up Prop One - Proposition Two, which TCR supports, is the one that controls spending by controlling revenue, it's simple and it has worked in Colorado.
