Former Speaker of the House

I seek your support for my friend, Texas Railroad Commission Chairman Michael Williams, as he welcomes his friend, former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich, to Texas. Please join me from 8:00 am to 9:30 am on Tuesday April 1, 2008 for a breakfast reception honoring Chairman Williams at the Palacio Hotel in San Antonio.

I support Michael's campaign for reelection and I hope you will, too. Michael has been a leader on issues that affect the Texas business community in his role as a regulator of Texas' energy industry.

As chairman of the state agency responsible for regulating Texas' energy industry, Michael Williams is an experienced leader who understands issues that affect the state's economy. Michael has led the charge in the oil and gas industry by, as he likes to say, regulating with a little "r", not a big "R", and regulating when he has to, not simply because he wants to.

But Michael also understands that we are at a turning point in our history, which requires us to be smart about where we get our energy and how we use it. That's why he is leading Texas' efforts to accelerate the development of Texas' alternative transportation fuels market and develop pro-growth solutions to our growing electricity needs.

These sort of innovations in energy cannot be developed without bright minds and America is lagging behind China and India in producing engineers, scientists and mathematicians. Michael is taking on that challenge by calling for a renewal of our focus on science, technology, engineering and mathematics in Texas classrooms.

Further, Michael has said time and time again that this is more than a reelection campaign. It is a campaign to recapture, restore and revitalize our conservative spirit. As an elected Republican leader, Michael is taking on the responsibility of helping our Party remember who we are and what we stand for. He has a passion for motivating, inspiring and encouraging others into action. If we are going to win in November, our voters must be inspired to act with their vote.

And Michael can inspire our voters like few others can.I hope you will support Michael Williams' reelection campaign by joining us for a reception in his honor with special guest former Speaker Newt Gingrich. Grassroots supporters are invited to attend for $50. Please join us tomorrow morning.

Sincerely,

Joe Solis
