Hello, True Texans!

Here’s a revelation:  I’m not like you.

You’re not like me either.

We have different motivations that brought us to True Texas Project.
For some people it’s overspending and taxation.  For others it’s
abortion.  Or it may be gun rights, or vaccine freedom, or crazy
LGBTXYZ nonsense.  Or maybe you got mad at an elected person for
something personal. A lot of us are here because our faith compels us
to act when we see an injustice.  You could even be just one of
those political junkies that does activism for fun! 

But we’re different for more than that.  Some of us are Boomers
and regretting not doing more to leave a legacy for the next
generation. Thankfully they have some extra funds to help the cause,
plus lots of time to volunteer.  Some of us are Gen
X’rs.  We’re hyper-critical and just don’t know how to sit
down and quit fighting, but we’ve got the work ethic to get any job
done.  The Millennials get the worst rap for being lazy, but they
are slowly realizing they’re inheriting a mess and waking up to the
need to work. And those Zoomers… they are laser-focused, terribly
judge-y, and (rightly) insisting everyone get on the straight and
narrow. 

Speaking of the straight and narrow, I could further divide us by
talking about religion...  those Catholics who believe they have the
only true church, the Baptists who love to preach but fail to act, the
Mormons who… well… have some of the downright silliest beliefs in
many of our eyes (like special underwear), the Methodists who throw
all morality out the window in the name of “love”, the Jews who so
often are the ones behind the corruption we fight, the Muslims we can
never fully trust because lying is part of their culture, and the
Hindus who seem kind until you dig into the wicked, wicked gods they
worship.

We’ve got Libertarians, Republicans, and Independents.  

We've got people who have voted in every election since age 18... and
those who don’t yet know the difference between a Primary and a
General. 

Some have run for office, some have held office, some will show up to
tell off those in office. 

Some campaign…others complain. 

Some are great about giving encouragement and prayer and joy.  Some
share reality in harsh doses but keep everyone focused.

Ok… _have I successfully ticked off everyone yet?_ 

That was the goal because I'm trying to make a point. It’s easy to
put everyone in a pre-defined box and judge them, for better or for
worse.  Everywhere I go, someone is complaining to me about someone
else. “If we could just get rid of those __________ (fill in the
blank) everything would be better.”

Guys, it breaks my heart.  It really does.  I’m not gonna lie
and say none of our True Texans annoy me.  Of course they do!  I
get frustrated with people just like you do.  But "we" are all
we’ve got. We either work together or lose. 

Wait… didn’t someone else say this?  Have we forgotten our
history?

I know tensions are high when we have so much at stake.  I know we
naturally see things through our own lenses, and it’s hard to see
things any other way.  I know people are wrong… A LOT! I know
people disappoint us when they don’t do what we think they should do
or how we think it should be done; or worse, when they don’t do what
they say they will do. 

But I repeat…  we are all we’ve got.

Somehow our ragtag bunch of patriots has made incredible progress in
Texas in the last 17 ½ years. We are the largest, most feared, most
active, most impressive conservative organization in the
state.  When a True Texan goes into action, politicians pay
attention.  We’ve elected candidates, influenced legislation,
pushed back at all levels of government and won, and we’ve managed
to have a lot of fun doing it!

If I’m saying all this and you have no idea why, great! You aren’t
the one stereotyping and complaining (or, perhaps, you’re just not
involved?).  But if any of this resonates with you, I’ll ask two
things:

1. Give grace when someone goes against you.

2. Give grace when you want to go against someone else.

But whoa, whoa, WHOA!  To be clear, I am NOT saying give grace to
the enemy! 😂 Do like David.  Cut off Goliath’s head and mount
it on a stake for everyone to cheer! 

Just one month until the election is behind us.  Hang in there!
