  <blurb>The fight to take back America starts here in Texas.  Enough is enough!

These are the candidates we believe are most deserving - candidates with strong, sound stances, running in races where your dollars matter most. Taking back our country begins in the Republican Party&amp;#39;s seat of power: Texas.  Please make a contribution to this critical cause.

      <pageblurb>Shane&amp;apos;s opponent is Rep. Ron Paul, known for voting against Hurricane Katrina relief.  Ironically, Rep. Paul&amp;apos;s own district was hit by Hurricane Rita. 
Shane Sklar is a 4th generation rancher and native Texan.  He&amp;apos;s a longtime democrat and former staffer for Rep. Chet Edwards.
This diverse district is ready for change, and we believe Shane Sklar is the best candidate in the 14th Congressional District.
&lt;b&gt;update&lt;/b&gt;:  Shane is now on the &lt;a href="http://www.dccc.org/races/emerging_races/"&gt;DCCC Emerging Races List&lt;/a&gt;!  Donate today and help us send Shane to Congress.</pageblurb>
