Good morning, Our incoherent president, foolish Congress, and dysfunctional Texas House are all serving as a reminder that – in our republic – leadership rests not with the politicians but the people. Solutions to the problems facing our state and nation will not come from officeholders, but rather the work of engaged citizens. In today's Texas Minute we’ll focus on one way we honor the Lone Star State’s real leaders.
Nominate A Leader Today- Other events and organizations honor politicians with trinkets and baubles. The Texas Conservative Leader Awards honor the grassroots activists who do the hard work of leading from the front of the fight, putting their “lives, fortunes, and sacred honor” for the cause of liberty.
- Grassroots leaders don’t do it for recognition, but to make the Lone Star State shine a little brighter for their friends and family.
- And because they lead from the front, the Conservative Leader Award honorees receive an engraved cavalry sword – that symbol of practical, front-of-the-fight leadership. (Below you’ll find the names of previous honorees.)
- So… Do you know someone who does the daily work of building real, authentic relationships within their communities? Someone who invites others to join the cause of expanding liberty and opportunity for all Texans? You do! Nominate them today!
Reunion For the Grassroots- The Texas Conservative Leader Awards dinner and ceremony will be Dec. 4, 2021, in Irving, Texas. You can get your early-bird priced tickets between now and August 15.
- BUT rather than pay the $60 Early Bird price, Texas Minute readers today – and today only – can use the Discount Code TexasMinute at checkout to get special Early Bird tickets for half that price! (The code TexasMinute only works until the end of the day – and you are welcome to share it.)
- The Texas Conservative Leader Awards dinner has been described variously as a “reunion for the grassroots movement” and “the grassroots prom.” However you describe it, the Conservative Leader Awards is an opportunity for you and your activists to celebrate each other and share your achievements with friends.
(Use the discount code ‘TexasMinute’)
