Roll Call - RSC Looks to Advance ‘Growth’ Agenda, Mend Fences - A bloc of conservative House Republicans is planning to unveil a jobs agenda to rival a forthcoming proposal by President Barack Obama — attaching “growth” to its trademark Cut, Cap and Balance plan.

NY Times - As a States’ Rights Stalwart, Perry Draws Doubts - As Gov. Rick Perry of Texas begins his presidential campaign, he is working hard to position himself as the leading Republican champion of states’ rights, using his high-profile battles with Washington and his book on the dangers of federal power to build an ideological and constitutional rationale for his fierce anti-Obama message. LINK
Washington Post - ‘Compassionate’ not Perry’s cup of tea - Texas Gov. Rick Perry, like most of the other the GOP presidential hopefuls, says his campaign is about undoing the decisions of President Obama.
