What is your viewpoint on mandatory conscription in the USA, should WWIII escalate to directly involve the USA?
How physically secure do you think the continental US is, should a major WWIII event take place outside our borders?
Who do you blame for the escalation of events between NATO/USA and Russia, China, and Iran?
The current administration has had an open border policy in place for the last 3 years. What do you think the security repercussions are of having had this policy in place that has allowed millions of unvetted illegals into the USA, should there be a major escalation of WWIII?
How likely do you think the prospect is for the use of nuclear weapons, should events continue to escalate?
What is your opinion of the current readiness state of the US Military, should we have to confront another foreign country?

Judging: The leadership team of True Texas Project will do the final judging based on personal opinion as well as feedback received from activists within our organization. The winners will be announced on Dec 4, 2024, on our True Texas Project Facebook, Instagram, and website pages. Winners will be recognized at our Christmas party if they are able to attend, but prizes will be awarded at the January True Texas Project meetings nearest to the winners. Winners must accept the prize in person at a TTP meeting. All decisions of the Board of True Texas Project are final and indisputable.

Good luck!
