Dear Friends,

Here=E2=80=99s another opportunity to engage in the Special Session: The S=
enate Redistricting Committee is holding hearings this week, to hear testim=
ony on SB 4, redistricting plan C2308 =E2=80=93 the same map that was prese=
nted and passed in the House Committee (HB4).

Both invited and public testimony will be taken, but public testimony is on=
ly on Thursday, Aug 7, starting at 9:00 am in E1.012. Click here to see th=
e Hearing details. THAT=E2=80=99S TOMORROW!

The REALLY BIG NEWS is that the Senate seems to have entered the technology=
age, along with their House colleagues, and is now allowing written commen=
ts to be submitted on-line using the form provided.

This is HUGE (in my opinion). The House has been doing this since 2021 pos=
t covid, but this is the first time I=E2=80=99ve seen it available for Sena=
te Committees. PLEASE =E2=80=93 use this on-line comment form to register =
support for Plan C redistricting, or support redistricting in general. Yo=
u can even attach documents if you have them to support your testimony.

I can=E2=80=99t get myself to Austin tomorrow, and most of you probably can=
=E2=80=99t either. But we CAN do an on-line comment. It can be as simple =
as =E2=80=9CI support Plan C Redistricting for Congressional Districts=E2=
=80=9D. Or as lengthy and commentary as you wish. So please take 2 minute=
s to do one. The time window is from right now until the hearing ends tomo=
rrow, which may be late if large numbers of people show up to testify like =
they did for the House bill. But don=E2=80=99t delay! Take a minute right=
now to do it. I was very proud of the number of you who responded to my a=
lert about the House bill. Y=E2=80=99all are awesome, so keep it up!

Democrats abandon Texas

Unless you=E2=80=99ve been living in a cave for the past few days, you=E2=
=80=99re aware that the House Democrats have broken quorum and left the sta=
te. There=E2=80=99s lots of drama and threats are being made on both sides=
, but only time will tell how this will actually play out. Meanwhile, the =
work in the Senate continues, and we focus there until the MIA Democrats ar=
e accounted for one way or another.

While things are stalled a bit in the House, now is a good opportunity to l=
et our own legislators AND leadership know our positions on certain issues.=
I was told recently by a House member that Gov Abbott is actually listeni=
ng to the grassroots these days and is interested in appeasing us. (probab=
ly because he=E2=80=99s up for re-election in 26). At any rate =E2=80=93 i=
f it=E2=80=99s true, we should take advantage. We can also pressure Speake=
r Burrows on taking action, as well as Committee Chairmen in some cases. H=
ere are a few examples (contact information provided below):

=C2=B7 SB5/HB5 The THC Ban: SB5 has passed in the Senate. HB5, an=
identical bill by Rep. Gary VanDeaver, has been referred to the House Publ=
ic Health Committee, which happens to be chaired by Gary VanDeaver, himself=
. Since it=E2=80=99s one of only 7 bills that have been referred to commit=
tee by Burrows, and since it=E2=80=99s VanDeaver=E2=80=99s bill, and he cha=
irs the committee, and since it's the same number (5) as the Senate bill, i=
t=E2=80=99s pretty likely that HB5 has a high priority with leadership and =
will be fast tracked. Whatever your position on this issue (I know there a=
re many of you on both sides!), now is a good time to let it be known with =
leadership. Contact VanDeaver, Burrows, the Governor, and your own House r=
epresentative.

=C2=B7 SB12 is the Senate version of Ban Taxpayer Lobbying. It pas=
sed the Senate easily on 8/1. It was received in the House on 8/4, but has=
not been assigned to a committee yet. There are six House bills on the sa=
me issue =E2=80=93 4 similar to SB12, and 2 identical. We can contact Burr=
ows and Abbott to let them know how important this issue is and that it mus=
t pass this time. In regular session, it died in Committee because Ken Kin=
g would not give it a hearing. So, we can pressure King, since it will lik=
ely go to his committee again. Contact Burrows, the Governor, King and you=
r own House repesentataive.

=C2=B7 HB66 is Steve Toth=E2=80=99s bill to stop distribution of ab=
ortion inducing drugs, creating a criminal offense and private civil right =
of action. It was filed on 7/4 but has not been referred to committee. We=
can let the speaker and the governor know our position on this issue, and =
pressure them to hold a hearing. The Governor put protections for the unbor=
n on the special session call, so it=E2=80=99s apparently important to him.=
Contact Burrows, the Governor, and your own House representative.

=C2=B7 SB11 is the Senate version of restoring the AG=E2=80=99s du=
ty to prosecute offenses of criminal election law, which passed the Senate =
on 8/1 and was received in the House on 8/4. HB11 is a similar (but not i=
dentical) bill filed in the House by Matt Shaheen. There is also a similar =
bill, HB85 by Terry Leo-Wilson. Since the Shaheen bill has a lower number,=
and it=E2=80=99s the same number as the Senate bill, we can assume that it=
=E2=80=99s being given priority. HB11 has been assigned to State Affairs c=
ommittee, chaired by Ken King. A hearing has not been scheduled, and we sh=
ould be requesting one for HB11, and/or request Burrows to assign SB11 to a=
committee. Contact Burrows, the Governor, Ken King, and your own House re=
presentative.

Two of our activists joined me on Monday in going to the Capitol to testify=
on SB7, the Women's Privacy Act. They were both first time testifiers and=
they both were just awesome! I hope more of you will join in to provide t=

Thanks everyone for staying engaged!

Dear Friends,

Here’s another opportunity to engage in the Special Session: The Senate Redistricting Committee is holding hearings this week, to hear testimony on SB 4, redistricting plan C2308 – the same map that was presented and passed in the House Committee (HB4).

Both invited and public testimony will be taken, but public testimony is only on Thursday, Aug 7, starting at 9:00 am in E1.012. Click here to see the Hearing details. THAT’S TOMORROW!

The REALLY BIG NEWS is that the Senate seems to have entered the technology age, along with their House colleagues, and is now allowing written comments to be submitted on-line using the form provided.

This is HUGE (in my opinion). The House has been doing this since 2021 post covid, but this is the first time I’ve seen it available for Senate Committees. PLEASE – use this on-line comment form to register support for Plan C redistricting, or support redistricting in general. You can even attach documents if you have them to support your testimony.

I can’t get myself to Austin tomorrow, and most of you probably can’t either. But we CAN do an on-line comment. It can be as simple as “I support Plan C Redistricting for Congressional Districts”. Or as lengthy and commentary as you wish. So please take 2 minutes to do one. The time window is from right now until the hearing ends tomorrow, which may be late if large numbers of people show up to testify like they did for the House bill. But don’t delay! Take a minute right now to do it. I was very proud of the number of you who responded to my alert about the House bill. Y’all are awesome, so keep it up!

Democrats abandon Texas

Unless you’ve been living in a cave for the past few days, you’re aware that the House Democrats have broken quorum and left the state. There’s lots of drama and threats are being made on both sides, but only time will tell how this will actually play out. Meanwhile, the work in the Senate continues, and we focus there until the MIA Democrats are accounted for one way or another.

While things are stalled a bit in the House, now is a good opportunity to let our own legislators AND leadership know our positions on certain issues. I was told recently by a House member that Gov Abbott is actually listening to the grassroots these days and is interested in appeasing us. (probably because he’s up for re-election in 26). At any rate – if it’s true, we should take advantage. We can also pressure Speaker Burrows on taking action, as well as Committee Chairmen in some cases. Here are a few examples (contact information provided below):

· SB5/HB5 The THC Ban: SB5 has passed in the Senate. HB5, an identical bill by Rep. Gary VanDeaver, has been referred to the House Public Health Committee, which happens to be chaired by Gary VanDeaver, himself. Since it’s one of only 7 bills that have been referred to committee by Burrows, and since it’s VanDeaver’s bill, and he chairs the committee, and since it's the same number (5) as the Senate bill, it’s pretty likely that HB5 has a high priority with leadership and will be fast tracked. Whatever your position on this issue (I know there are many of you on both sides!), now is a good time to let it be known with leadership. Contact VanDeaver, Burrows, the Governor, and your own House representative.

· SB12 is the Senate version of Ban Taxpayer Lobbying. It passed the Senate easily on 8/1. It was received in the House on 8/4, but has not been assigned to a committee yet. There are six House bills on the same issue – 4 similar to SB12, and 2 identical. We can contact Burrows and Abbott to let them know how important this issue is and that it must pass this time. In regular session, it died in Committee because Ken King would not give it a hearing. So, we can pressure King, since it will likely go to his committee again. Contact Burrows, the Governor, King and your own House repesentataive.

· HB66 is Steve Toth’s bill to stop distribution of abortion inducing drugs, creating a criminal offense and private civil right of action. It was filed on 7/4 but has not been referred to committee. We can let the speaker and the governor know our position on this issue, and pressure them to hold a hearing. The Governor put protections for the unborn on the special session call, so it’s apparently important to him. Contact Burrows, the Governor, and your own House representative.

· SB11 is the Senate version of restoring the AG’s duty to prosecute offenses of criminal election law, which passed the Senate on 8/1 and was received in the House on 8/4. HB11 is a similar (but not identical) bill filed in the House by Matt Shaheen. There is also a similar bill, HB85 by Terry Leo-Wilson. Since the Shaheen bill has a lower number, and it’s the same number as the Senate bill, we can assume that it’s being given priority. HB11 has been assigned to State Affairs committee, chaired by Ken King. A hearing has not been scheduled, and we should be requesting one for HB11, and/or request Burrows to assign SB11 to a committee. Contact Burrows, the Governor, Ken King, and your own House representative.

Remember that hand written (in the mail) communication is very effective. Also, you might get better response (maybe an actual person on the phone) at the District offices. Sending out the bat signal couldn’t hurt either. Whatever it takes!

Two of our activists joined me on Monday in going to the Capitol to testify on SB7, the Women's Privacy Act. They were both first time testifiers and they both were just awesome! I hope more of you will join in to provide testimony at hearings whenever possible. Meanwhile, use the on-line option to comment and make your voices heard!

Thanks everyone for staying engaged!

Fran Rhodes, President
