The Texas Legislature, particularly the House of Representatives,
is at a crossroads. While it is on the verge of doing great
things for our citizens, it is also on the verge of sailing us
down the river. We have three weeks left in the legislative
session, and many Legislative Priority bills are getting close to
the Governor's desk. They are also at risk of sudden death.

Last week, SB 14, the bill to protect children from sex
mutilation, was delayed on Tuesday and Friday after the Speaker
indicated he would sustain points of order called by Democrats.
Last Tuesday, hundreds of Texas grassroots supporters filled the
gallery to cheer on our Republican Representatives, only to watch
our side outwitted by the Left before they were rushed out of the
gallery due to the disruptive behavior of trans activists. That
Friday, the Department of Public Safety's presence was greatly
increased, and order was maintained. But SB 14 was again delayed,
as Democrats continued using procedural tactics to defend the
delusion that little boys can be little girls and sterilization
is an appropriate by-product of this lie.

Other bills to Stop the Sexualization of Texas Kids that need to
move include SB 12, which would restrict drag queen performances
in front of children. It will be heard in State Affairs this
week. SB 1072, the best bill to remove critical gender theory in
public schools, has yet to have a hearing in Public Education.

Meanwhile, this is the last week the House can vote on House
bills. Thankfully, HB 20, our major border security bill, is
scheduled for a hearing Tuesday. We urge those who can attend to
do so, as those who are fine with the globalist agenda of no
borders will most likely turn out to express their displeasure.

Protect Our Elections is the priority with which we are most
concerned. The Senate has diligently completed the heavy lifting
and passed 11 of 24 LP-approved Senate Bills, while the House has
only passed two of 32 LP-approved bills. Similarly, the Senate
passed 10 of 22 RPT Election Integrity Committee approved bills,
while the House passed none of the 31 approved bills.

The House must act.

House State Affairs needs to schedule hearings for SB 1846 and SB
1910.

Calendars needs to put SB 1807, SB 2208, and SB 1070 on the
Calendar.

The House Elections Committee must schedule hearings for Senate
bills SB 1600, SB 260, SB 397, SB 921, SB 990, SB 1938, and vote
SB 1599, SB 924, SB 1039, SB 1911 out of committee.

Our highest priority bills are SB 990 by Hall, to return to
Precinct Voting in large counties; SB 921 to BAN Rank Choice
Voting in Texas; SB 1070, to amend the interstate voter
registration crosscheck program with restrictions (ERIC bill);
and SB 397, to require early voting tapes be printed.

Action Items

1) Call Speaker Phelan and encourage him not to allow the
Democrats to derail SB 14.

2) Call Chairman Hunter and members of State Affairs and ask them
to pass out SB 12 and hear our election bills, SB 1846 and SB
1910.

3) Call Chairman Buckley and members of Public Education and ask
them to hear and pass out SB 1072.

4) Call Chairman Smith and members of Elections and ask them to
schedule hearings and vote out of committee the above Elections
bills, especially SB 990, SB 921, SB 1070, and SB 397.

For God and Texas,
