John, 189 years ago, 59 soon-to-be Texans traveled across the dusty plain to join a movement that would define our state as we know it. On March 3, 1836, in a tiny house in the humble settlement of Washington-on-the-Brazos, these men signed the Texas Declaration of Independence. A lot has changed in almost two centuries, but the desires in the hearts of Texans like you and me are fundamentally the same as the men who gathered that day. They declared independence from Mexico, which had, in their estimation, failed to protect the lives, liberty, and property. Sound familiar? Although the brave individuals who declared their independence from Mexico that day had a violent path to victory, they persevered! The legendary battles of the Alamo, Goliad, and San Jacinto made Texas who she is today, but our story is not finished. Right now, true Texans are fighting a battle void of bloodshed but critical, nonetheless. Like the Mexican government, our lawmakers seem to have no regard for our lives, liberty, or property. The question is: What are we going to do about it? True Texas Project is not ready to abandon all that was fought for and cultivated so many years ago, and traitors in Austin are about to find that out the hard way. |
