Farouk Shami Has New Hope For Texas
By Tomball-Spring Times
The Tomball-Spring Times endorses Texas Democratic Candidate, Farouk Shami for Governor. Like Farouk The Tomball-Spring Times feels that things in Texas are heading in the wrong direction. With the cost of health care and health insurance being out of control, too many jobs are being shipped abroad, the quality of basicpublic education is falling, and our air, land and water are under constant threat from polluters, Shami says, Texans simply can't settle for more "business as usual".
As a local independent community newspaper and small business, The Tomball- Spring Times is encouraged by Mr Farouk Shami's success as a self-made businessman in the Houston area, who came to America 44 years ago with $71 in his pocket and achieved the American dream. Farouk built a company based in Houston that has created thousands of jobs in Texas, including 1,200 new manufacturing jobs from a plant he closed overseas so he could bring those jobs to America.
Farouk, who built his multi-million dollar business from the ground up, says his focus is on what needs to be fixed in Texas. "I relocated my own business from overseas to Houston and created jobs long before I began a bid for governor," said Shami. When asked in a recent Democratic debate about the unemployment rate in Texas, Farouk said that unlike his opponent, he is not a career politician and he knows how to balance a budget
Shami has presented detailed plans that show how he is going to tackle some of the most challenging problems Texas faces. Critics are now claiming it cannot be done and refusing to address the actual plans, instead just saying “we cannot create new jobs” or “we cannot lower the cost of energy for Texas consumers.” This same politics as usual combination of cynicism and inability to recognize that new ideas can exist, is the reason our federal, state and local governments are failing and why the population as a whole is voting at far lower levels than 50 years ago, when we had leaders willing to “shoot for the moon.”
Farouk Shami plans to create 100,000 jobs and ensure every Texan who wants to work will have that opportunity. He has a plans to provide affordable, reliable and clean electricity and says he he has a plan that will entirely eliminate electric bills for some families .

Who is Farouk Shami? The real issue is not necessarily his religion (where and how often he practices – or not) or national origin but his CREDIBILITY. Are his Public Statements factual or just Beauty Show hype?
Farouk in San Antonio (10/21/09): “I manage business in 106 countries, I have tens of thousands of employees, and we've brought billions of dollars to the state of Texas,” Shami said.
Fact Check:
• Farouk manufacturers the products and sells them to independent distributors/importers (in US and overseas), who in return sell to the salons. He DOES NOT manage these companies. They are his customers.
• Likewise the employees of these distributors or the salons which use his products are NOT Farouk’s employees.
• Farouk has always claimed that he sells only to the professional hairdressers, yet his products can be found in Wal-Mart, Costco, Target, HEB, as well as discount stores.
Yes, Farouk has done well for himself BUT… He is NOT the sole owner of his companies - Farouk claims (as well documented in many articles and interviews, and then repeated by the media) to be a Billionaire; however he is NOT listed on Forbes List of Billionaires – with his ego, he definitely would make sure that he would be listed if he just could prove it.
Farouk claimed to be Quaker?
Having attended Quaker School does not make Farouk a Quaker – maybe that is all what was available at the time (or even today) for quality education in Ramallah.
• Wikipedia: “The Friends School currently serves as the School for the best and the brightest. It is well known to educate the children of Palestinian elites.”
• MilitantIslamMonitor: “Guilford College controversy Being Manipulated By CAIR -Quaker school tied to pro terrorist Friends school in Ramallah”
• Farouk said that he is Quaker - his son told a reporter that Farouk is Muslim - Farouk then clarified that he is Muslim-Quaker
• King of Jordan had sent his personal message to Farouk Shami (to a Quaker?) during the last two company conferences – Amman, Jordan (2006) and Cancun, Mexico (2008)
• Farouk is a member of, guest speaker to, and honored by many Muslim organizations - He is a member of the Board of the American Task Force on Palestine, as was Tareq Salahi, the Whitehouse party crasher
• Shami : Muslim Media Network Sep 24, 2009 ... Houston hair executive Farouk Shami says his focus is .... At his Annual Ramadan Dinner (Quaker?) at the Arab Cultural Center (ACC) Houston, ...
