Hello, True Texans!

I absolutely love it when people come to me not just with great ideas,
but also with a willingness to make them happen! That was the case
this week when Tony Bieniosek suggested we educate folks on just how
bad the Democrat platform is.  Have you ever really read
it???  Well, Tony did, and he shared some highlights with us:

2026 Texas Democrat Party Convention
Platform Key Points

*
Pg 32 – Universal vote by mail. No voter registrar deputization
requirements. Expand extended and early voting periods

*
Pg 33 – Repeal photo voter ID law. Promote rank-choice voting.
Abolish the Electoral College. Abolish the filibuster. Rebalance the
Supreme Court

*
Pg 41 – Eliminate cash bail and pretrial detention. Decriminalize
pan handling. Eliminate mandatory minimum sentences

*
P 43 – Legalize possession and use of cannabis and its derivatives.
Immediately release individuals incarcerated solely for possession of
cannabis with automatic expungement of criminal records

*
P 49 – Expand access to gender-affirming healthcare. Ability to
participate fully in public life consistent with gender identity.

*
P 49 – Right to choose.  Repeal criminalizing abortion care
decisions.  Require ongoing training in cultural diversity. 

*
Pg 55 – Guarantee labor protections to undocumented migrants. Remove
or re-evaluate 5 year waiting period for immigrants seeking federal
support

If that doesn't motivate you, what will? Hey, maybe we should work
with the GOP candidates to help get them elected.  Oh yeah... we
are! We call it TTP@theGOP...

Everyone wants to know if Talarico is going to beat Ken Paxton for US
Senate from TX.  The latest polls show Talarico half a point ahead,
but keep in mind that pretty much maxes out the Democrat turnout;
whereas the Republican numbers have a lot of room to grow if we can
just get out the vote.  We can't let anyone sit this one
out!  This is why our TTP@theGOP events are so crucial.  MAKE SURE
TO GET INVOLVED AND DO AS MUCH AS YOU CAN TO PICK UP THE SLACK FOR
THOSE WHO WON'T DO ANYTHING.  It's so annoying, but _what choice do
we have??? _The events scheduled for this week are below.  You can
also go to our online calendar to see all of them for the next six
weeks.

FLESH-EATING SCREWWORM

For those of you who had the privilege to hear Sheriff Roy Boyd speak
at our February and/or August conferences, or on last month's podcast,
I know you now appreciate him as much as I do.  Well, Sheriff Boyd
teamed up with another TTP favorite, Ammon Blair, to write this
article on the screwworm
[[link removed]
down at the border.  It's a good read.

Before I close, let me call your attention to an email I sent Friday
night.  In case you didn't see it, there's just a bit of
housekeeping we need to take care of to make sure our financials stay
in good shape...  and we've had a couple very generous donors
sweeten the pot!

In the 16 hours since I sent that email (as of the writing of this
newsletter on Saturday), we've already reached over 10% of our
goal!  I'll share a thermometer with you periodically to remind you
that we need you to jump in, but don't forget... the sooner you do,
the higher the match!  

Thanks for being in this fight.  I love what we do together!

For the love of Texas, 
Julie McCarty, CEO
True Texas Project

PS.  Hey... you read to the very end!  Awesome!  Feel free to
reply and tell me so.  😊
