Republican Party of
Burleson County, Texas! Here is where individual voters are

Announcements
Thirsty for some Responsible Government??? Try Burleson County's July 4th Tea Party!This
July 4th from 10 AM to 1 PM at Caldwell's Davidson Creek Park (one
block East of HiWay 36, turn at the Exxon Station) is Burleson
County's 2nd reminder to Congress that Americans don't take
kindly to rapant tax increases! BRING YOUR SIGNS and let us hear
your position ... we have an excellent soapbox ready for you!
There is lots of shade, sausage wraps, TEA, music, and some
surprise activities and action items. Bring the family and some
folding chairs for easy sitting.
Also take a look at the April 15th "Tax Day" demonstration in Caldwell. We have a whole page of pictures so check it out! 
Back
in April, Burleson
County citizens made it clear that they were unhappy with
Congress' rampant spending and the lack of thinking by the
members of Congress who voted for a million millions (a trillion)
of dollars without even bothering to read the legislation!
Now it is July and the House has just passed a tax on
energy that is expected to triple your electric bill and inflate the
price of virtually everything we buy. Again no one could have
read the bill, much less know for what they were voting as 300+
pages of amendments were added on the morning of the vote! It's
time to let Congress know how we feel!
Voter
Registration - Now's A Good Time
If
you have turned 18, moved into Burleson County, or even moved within
the county, now is a good time to stop by the Courthouse and fill out
the registration paperwork. That way you will be ready to go
as
the 2009 - 2010 election cycle begins! For more details try
our Voter Registration
page.
Republicans
Sweep Election in Burleson County!
With
59% of the registered voters going to the polls, Burleson County
favored Republican Conservatives in 14 of 15 races! Four
additional races were declared wins as those Republicans had no
opposition. Only Rob Curnock, running for U.S. Congressman -
District 17, did not lead in Burleson County voting. See our "2008
General Election"
page for a full recap!
