  • he can be the ronald reagan of the democratic party.

  • Hey boss coffee can

    Make an ad 4 governor

  • When TLJ speaks, you better fucking listen.

    He needs to run for US Senate (D-TX).

  • as education goes, so goes the economy!

  • Way to go TLJ! I agree, cutting funding is ridiculous. However, education makes up that largest part of our state’s budget (nearly 44%). I think we need to look at ways to ensure we are getting a quality product. Some teachers are stressed, overworked, but really care for the children and enjoy the career. Others are just there for the j-o-b. Administrators need to hold them to high standards. TAKS is not the way to do it.

  • Someone could have straightened his tie before he went on....

  • Hey Tommy Lee Jones, run for Governor of Texas!

  • Hey Tommy Lee - any chance you'd be willing to re-shoot this video and substitute the word "Idaho" for "Texas"? PLEASE??

  • Texas' education sucks because the rich want it to because it dumbs down our children so that it provides more votes for the Republicans by ill-informed voters. A uneducated voter is a vote for a Republican. I mean seriously, why would a person vote for a Republican in texas knowing they will take away services they use like education, food stamps, medicaid, health services, WIC, and other important services for the working poor and even some lower middle class. VOTE PROGRESSIVE DEMOCRAT 2012!!
