Dear Friends,

Time is running out to protect Texas kids!  SB14, the bill to stop the mutilation of young bodies for the purpose of changing gender is at risk of dying in the Texas House.

Twice last week, SB14 was scheduled for a vote in the House, and was derailed upon several points of order by Democrats, and then recommitted to the Public Health Committee.  Both the Chair of the Public Health Committee and the Chair of the Calendars Committee have tweeted statements that this bill will be brought back and will pass.  But time is running out!

TTP is joining other grassroots conservative groups around the state in calling on all of our supporters to take action TODAY!  This idea that girls can become boys and boys can become girls is false and has devastating, irreversible effects and must be stopped.  SB14 is our last hope for banning it in this legislative session.

Please take action and make the following phone calls:

ACTION ITEM #1

Call Speaker Dade Phelan's office. Tell him that Texas kids are depending on him and the Texas House to protect them from this abuse, and that he must see that SB14 gets a fair vote in the Texas House.  Stop letting Democrats derail the vote!

Capitol office:  512-463-1000

District Office in Orange: 409-745-2777

ACTION ITEM #2

Call Governor Abbott's office (all three numbers).  Tell him to speak out publicly and prioritize the banning of sex mutilation or chemical treatments for gender transition.  Call the Governor's office, plus the chief of staff and policy advisor.

Governor's office:  512-463-1782 or 800-843-5789

Chief of Staff Gardner Pate:  512-463-1762

Policy Advisory Steve Munisteri:  512-463-1830

ACTION ITEM #3

Call Chairs Stephanie Klick and Dustin Burrows.  Tell them to make good on their promises to bring SB14 to a vote.  As the two people who derailed similar legislation last session, they owe it to Texans and especially Texas kids to get this bill passed.

Chair Stephanie Klick Capitol Office:  512-463-0599

                                       District office in NRH: 817-281-0079

Chair Dustin Burrows Capitol Office:  512-463-0542

                                      District Office in Lubbock:  806-795-0635

Five simple phone calls.  It will only take a few minutes total.  We need calls, not emails this time please.  And it's especially important for people living in the districts of Phelan, Klick and Burrows for them to hear from you - their constituents.

Remember that our power comes from making it politically profitable for the wrong people to do the right thing.  It's time to demonstrate that power!

God blessed Texas!

Fran Rhodes, President, True Texas Project

PS:  In addition to your calls, please pray for the passage of this bill and for the children and adults who are already suffering from this heinous practice.
