Hello, True Texans!
I end this email with a personal note right before I sign off, but first...
Ya gotta love it. The Ft Worth Report harassed all the speakers for our big Year of the Patriot conference on Aug 1, trying to get them to do an interview. Why? They're hoping to drum up drama and twist quotes to fit their narrative. And remember, for our 15th Birthday Conference the media successfully scared a couple speakers into cancelling. Not this year. Our speakers are stellar and honored to be invited to speak to True Texans! What a complete failure by the media! Two speakers did agree to interview after checking with me first, and I don't think FWR got what they were looking for. Here's one quote from Cyan Quinn, a speaker coming to us from the White Papers Policy Institute:

You can read their hit piece here. I think it's pretty good advertising! What I found hilarious was the response from one reader:

Intrigued? What are you waiting for??? Get your conference tickets now! They are $60, which only covers our cost -- we are not doing this as a fundraiser because we want everyone who wants to attend to be there. And if you cannot afford that, let me know and we will look for sponsors. The ticket price includes lunch and snacks.

Spread the Red!
What a great idea! Big thanks to these True Texan volunteers who went into senior living centers to register voters and get them signed up for rides to the polls in the November. One person they reached is 101 years old! Can you do this in your area??? Every vote counts!

Call To Action!
Today, books so sexually explicit that many are prohibited in Texas prisons can still be found on the shelves of school and public libraries—purchased with taxpayer dollars and made available to children under the banner of "education." This isn't just a statewide issue. It's a local one. And local citizens have the power to change it.
That's why Protecting Texas Children is launching Behind the Shelves Chapters across Texas. If you feel called to serve as a Behind the Shelves Chapter Leader — or know someone who would be a great fit — please contact Miriam Evans at [email protected] to learn more about launching a chapter in your community.

Coming up! Take back America's classrooms! One of our leadership volunteers asked us to share this upcoming event for teachers. The Teacher Freedom Alliance is hosting their Teacher Freedom Summit in Dallas July 14-16. This seems like the alternative we so desperately need to TASB and to support good conservative educators. They're offering it at an amazing price too. Check it out and report back!

On a personal note before I close, I want to announce that my daughter, whom many of you have watched grow up through True Texas Project, just got engaged! Here are two "then & now" pics...

Our joy over this news is so much more complete in sharing it with you! The wedding won't be for another 2 years as her fiance is a student at the Citadel in South Carolina, and students are not allowed to be married while attending. But rest assured, when the time comes, we'll want you all there!
For the love of Texas,
Julie McCarty, CEO
