Happy Easter, True Texan friends!

He has risen, indeed!

Of course we know what happened 2000 years ago. Now here's what happened last week... and everything you need to know for this week! It's the True Texan Weekly Newsletter!

Last Week In Pictures

It's time! My family and I have been blockwalking for our GCISD candidates.
I hope you're walking for yours!

Our True Texans softball team is now 2 and 0, but more importantly, we spent time praying for teammate Shelley Luther, who had an aneurysm and is hospitalized.

Sadly, Rockwall/Kaufman, Brazos Valley, Bay Area, Denton County, and Beaumont Area all had social meet-ups this week, but nobody posted any pics in the TTP chat groups. Bummer!

Citizen Advocates do hard things

Legislative Update

Citizen Advocates sometimes have to do hard things. The photo is from the 2021 session where we were waiting to testify at a hearing. The hearing room and overflow areas were full, so we sat on the floor outside the room and waited our turn. It isn't always easy, but is it worth it? We think the answer is a resounding YES! We just need more people joining us. Consider coming to the Capitol with us on Tuesdays.

Several important legislative priorities passed the Senate this week, including bills to stop sexualization of children, ban gender modification of children, stop drag queen performances with children, stop drag queen events in libraries, and reigning in rogue DAs. Another big one for TTP that passed this week is the ban on taxpayer funded lobbying. Now we have to wait for the House to do their thing with these bills, which is a whole different ball game! The House bill on getting dirty books out of schools and libraries passed out of committee and has been sent to Calendars.

Action items for the week of April 10 include registering/testifying or submitting online comments for several specific bills that are detailed in the weekly Citizen Advocate Friday message.

To read Fran's message from Friday, click here.

Remember that for House bills, you can submit online comments (but not for Senate bills). The comment links are on the Committee Schedule where that bill is listed. From Fran's email (linked above) open the Committee Schedule and go to the bottom of that page for the comment link. Online comments are open from the time the schedule is posted until the hearing is closed.

If you cannot be at the Capitol (and we realize most of us cannot!) please do what you can by submitting online comments, making phone calls, or sending emails/letters.

Then you can either click on the red squares or scroll through the list of locations to get information on all our satellites across the state. You are not alone! There are True Texans fighting beside you all across the Great State of Texas! Be a friend and tell all the Texans you know.
