The Texas Revolution for independence from Mexican rule began with the Battle of Gonzales in October 1835 and ended on April 21, 1836 at the Battle of San Jacinto. A committee presented the Texas Declaration of Independence on March 2, 1836. James Bowie and William B. Travis commanded the Texas soldiers at the Battle at the Alamo on March 6, 1836. Although this battle ended in the annihilation of the Texas defenders, it is remembered for the soldiers' perseverance against a much larger Mexican force.

If Romney is relatively boring and mostly non-threatening to your average Democratic millionaire, Rush is THE ENEMY, an ogre who galvanizes small and large donors alike. And remember: some of that Democratic super PAC money sitting on the sidelines is Hillary Clinton money, more likely to be drawn into battle by attacks on women than love for Obama. Over the last 72 hours, I've gotten a handful of Dem/liberal solicitations using Limbaugh's words, or tying them into the larger narrative of a misogynistic GOP.

Millions and millions of dollars in Affordable Care Act grants aren't the only way the Obama administration is helping states prepare for health care reform.

[T]he waivers, which allow states some flexibility in how they deliver health care to the poor, can help the states prepare for the roughly 16 million people who will be newly eligible for Medicaid in 2014 under ACA.
