Hey, friends!
I was inspired by you this week! You guys never cease to amaze me. Here's what I wrote about it in case you're interested!
You know what else? Don't laugh. I am asked at least once a week, "Julie, do you know anyone single my age?" I guess this really doesn't have anything to do with True Texas Project, but then again, it kinda does. Where do patriots go to find non-woke, (usually) non-vaxxed, Bible-believing, Right-leaning, unmarried persons of the opposite sex who share their values? It's getting more and more difficult, and... well... since I love to play matchmaker, I made this little graphic and started a spreadsheet!
Just call me Cupid! If you want to be included, fill out this form. I've got 3 dozens names so far! Who knows? This week when yet another patriot asks me who I know, my answer could be YOU! 🥰
OK... back to business...
Challengers To the Dirty Dozen
Last week I told you about a new documentary, The Texas Heist: Do Democrats Run The Texas House? If you haven't watched it yet, I hope you will.
In the documentary, the Dirty Dozen are named. These are the worst of the worst sneaky, conniving, spineless, back-stabbing, moral-less, enemies of Texas in the state legislature.
The good news is... several already have challengers, and I will introduce you to these candidates week by week. Here's the first...
Many consider Stephanie Klick from Tarrant County to be Public Enemy #1. There are three things I know for certain about Klick: 1.) Polling indicates she is one of the most vulnerable. 2.) She gets worse every session, but don't they all? Klick, however, is an over-achiever in this area. She falls further and faster than anyone else, as she is the one responsible for killing election integrity 2 sessions ago and child genital mutilation protection 1 session ago. It gets worse. This most recent session, she voted not only to impeach our own Republican Atty Gen, but also for taxpayer-funded child psychological gender mutilation. 3.) She was forced to a runoff last election against TTP-supported David Lowe, and she only won by less than 800 votes.
Lowe is running again. This race has statewide implications, so I hope each of you will chip in whatever amount you can afford. Let's get the job done this time! Donate here.
Let Us Pray
Lord, we need to know what you need each of us to do this week. We trust you have called us to participate in your plan for freedom and victory for Texas. We trust you with the plan, just keep us focused on and covered by you. Thank you for letting us each be a small part of your plan to do far greater than we could ask or think. We will continue to trust you moment by moment for our part and trust you are in control and you win!! In Jesus, we are free! Amen.
Fran's Friday Message
Do you know about the 14 Constitutional Amendments that will be on the ballot in November? If you're like me, you are often left scratching your head about which way to vote. This week's message gives you some insight, and my personal recommendations (at least on the ones I've figured out) on which way to vote. If you don't agree with my recommendations, let me know your side of the issue. I'm always open to being convinced.
One thing you should be focused on is the fact that 7 of these amendments will add $12.1 Billion to the 2024-25 biennium spending. Yikes!
Stay Engaged! Fran Rhodes, President PS. Our website always has voting recommendations for every election, and we will have a full run-down on the proposed Constitutional amendments well before you go to the polls! We've already gotten started here.
Much-Anticipated Links!!!
I told you when we announced all our plans for our Election 2024 efforts "True Texans Taking Charge" it was a lot! I wasn't kidding, and we have already held two GREAT events. Even better, we have links available for both of them in case you missed it or want to watch again.
How To Vet Candidates - The first of our new "How To" series, expert consultant Luke Macias shared great tips on how to know who deserves you time and treasure.
Candidate Webinar - We hosted a webinar to share insight on how to run for office. From finances to managing volunteers to filing reports to campaigning and more, it's all here.
While I'm sharing links, I'll go ahead and provide one to the August Announcement video. Always good info in those!
