Hurricane Ike
- Dear Friends,
As we continue to recover from Hurricane Ike, I invite those of you in the Austin area to join the Hurricane Ike Disaster Relief Drive sponsored by the Capital Area Food Bank of Texas and AM 590 KLBJ. They will be taking food, hygiene and monetary donations and you don’t even have to get out of your car to help. ..Read 9/16 Hurricane Ike Newsletter
- Dear Friends,
I spent the day with Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff, touring the destruction caused by Hurricane Ike, from a helicopter. The pictures you are seeing on television, the internet and newspapers – especially of Galveston and other coastal cities – do not come close to describing the devastation. It is truly unbelievable. ..Read 9/14 Hurricane Ike Newsletter
- Dear Friends,
Although Hurricane Ike has devastated Galveston and other portions of the upper Texas coast, I am relieved to report today that its impact was not as severe as our forecasters predicted it could have been. While many of you are without power and some of life’s basics short-term, I am also encouraged that the 10th Congressional District has sustained relatively minimal damage. ..Read 9/13 Hurricane Ike Newsletter
- Dear Friends,
I once again want to urge you to take precautions tonight and heed the warnings of local authorities as Hurricane Ike makes landfall. This is a storm of epic proportions that is likely to rival the Galveston hurricane of 1900. Ike threatens to overtake the sea wall that was built after that storm. ..Read 9/12 Hurricane Ike Newsletter
- Dear Friends,
As you are well aware, Hurricane Ike has set his sights on the Houston-Galveston area. The latest forecast models show that with Ike’s projected path, all of the 10th Congressional District will sustain tropical storm force winds and Harris, Waller, and parts of Austin and Washington Counties will endure hurricane force winds. ..Read 9/11 Hurricane Ike Newsletter
Energy Independence
- Dear Friends,
As Americans we are blessed to live in this great nation. But we are
faced with challenging times. As you well know it costs a small fortune
these days just to fill up your car and put food on the table for your family.
And over the last 18 months those costs have risen sharply. A gallon of
gas was $2.33 in January of 2007. Today the price of gas has skyrocketed
to $4.09 per gallon, up 75% ..Read McCaul Energy Independence Mailer

Tax Relief 2006
- Dear Friends,
Since coming to Congress, it has been my privilege to represent the citizens of the 10th District of Texas. I have heard many of your personal stories about how difficult it can be to make ends meet, and to those who have shared their concerns, the anxiety is real and the need to provide relief is immediate.
Our nation is at a fiscal crossroads and tough decisions must be made. I am committed to fiscal restraint, cutting taxes and halting the creation of additional government programs. Just like American families, the federal government must live within its means.

"Honoring and caring for our veterans is a sacred
duty. When we remember their accomplishments
for America and the world, we must always
remember what each and every veteran sacrificed.
Even though a service member comes home and
has changed, either in mind or body, the federal
government should not only provide benefits, but
should also be there to help make them whole
again. It is our duty, as much as possible, to give
our veterans every opportunity to have peaceful
and happy lives.
Congress has worked to provide unprecedented
increases in veterans' health care funding: since
2001, VA's health care budget has risen over
40 percent.
Those who served in the past, those who serve
today and those who will serve in the future must
be assured that health care benefits will be there if
they are injured or in need.
Meeting the needs of our nation's veterans will
continue to be a major focus and priority of mine
in Congress."

Immigration Survey
- Immigration Survey Mailing - In a post 9/11 world, protecting our
borders has taken on a whole new
urgency. We cannot separate the issue of
border security and homeland security. In
order to successfully fight the War on
Terror, we must protect our borders and
points of entry.
There are people entering our country who
are seeking economic opportunities and
those who wish do us harm. Accordingly,
criminal terrorists must be barred from
entering the country, while those seeking
economic opportunities should be met with
a different strategy. ..Read
