Campaign themes
2012
Wise's campaign website listed the following issues:[1]
- Border
- Excerpt: "Close it and close it now! The feds will not get this done, so Texas must! A nation with no defined or protected border is not a nation any longer."
- Economy
- Excerpt: "Austin is no better than Washington DC when it comes to spending money. We the people must live within our incomes and means, so too should Austin! If the money is not there, then don't spend it! Washington DC is destroying our economy! We must be aware and fight them at every conceivable opportunity. Our futures and the future of a prosperous Texas is at stake!"
- Education
- Excerpt: "Get the State and the Feds out of the schools and return them to local control."
- EPA
- Excerpt: "Stop the regulations and the destruction of our capabilities to conduct our lives and our businesses. Texans have always been good stewards of the land. We know we are blessed in the bounty of Texas and we will protect that. But, our natural resources are ours and should not be controlled by Washington DC. It is time to stand for State sovereignty and tell them to get out!"
- Homeland Security
- Excerpt: "As the TSA gropes our families, we are told the Feds will call a no fly zone over Texas if we resist. Really, have we become Lybia all of a sudden? Well, in many ways yes! It is time to tell them to go also!"
