Heads up! New assignment!
And this one was requested by one of our favorite State Reps because suppor=
t is needed from We The People.
We need to make some noise! Last spring more than 80% of Republicans who v=
oted in the Primary said that when the Republican Party has the majority, w=
e do NOT want our leadership to appoint Democrats as committee chairs. Rea=
d about it here.=20
It ain=E2=80=99t rocket science, but sadly, yes, it=E2=80=99s a thing, beli=
eve it or not. Our Republican legislature routinely allows the Speaker to =
hand over powerful and influential positions to the Democrats. He doesn=E2=
=80=99t have to. There=E2=80=99s no rule to make him. It=E2=80=99s merely=
=E2=80=9Ctradition.=E2=80=9D Of course, if the Dems had the majority, tha=
t tradition wouldn=E2=80=99t amount to a hill of beans, and there would be =
no reciprocation of this more-than-generous gesture. Why? Because each pa=
rty has goals and an agenda, and when you win you are expected to act on th=
em. The Dems are very good at it. The Republicans? Not so much. So in s=
pite of the fact that the Democrat Chairs kill conservative bills with all =
sorts of games and trickery, and in spite of the fact that Democrats litera=
lly left the state last year to wreak havoc and did so on the taxpayer dime=
and without punishment, and in spite of the fact that Republican voters do=
n't want Democrats to be chairman, our presumed Speaker, Dade Phelan (prono=
unced =E2=80=9Cfelon=E2=80=9D), has every intention to do that foolish thin=
g anyway.
So what do you do? You raise a stink. Your State Rep needs to feel a ton =
of pressure =E2=80=93 enough so that he or she turns around and applies tha=
t same pressure to Speaker Phelan. Life must be made very uncomfortable fo=
r all involved. Post on social media, make calls, send emails, threaten ce=
nsures in your Republican clubs and committees. Do whatever it takes.=20
Right now only one side realizes we=E2=80=99re at war. The other side has =
leadership still trying to kiss and make up. It=E2=80=99s time for We The =
People to let those =E2=80=9Cleaders=E2=80=9D feel some heat to get the job=
done that we hired them to do.=20
Your marching orders:
Contact your State Rep. Don=E2=80=99t know who your State Rep is? Find it =
here. Then reach out via phone, online contact form, and on their social m=
edia (Twitter, Facebook, etc) and ask them to make sure the Speaker of the =
House does not assign Democrats as committee chairs.=20
Send the same messaging in the same ways to Speaker Dade Phelan.
Phone: (512) 463-1000
Facebook
Twitter
Online Form
Utilize your own social media pages and accounts to educate others and appl=
y more pressure. You can tag your State Rep in your Facebook post by prefac=
ing the name with the @ symbol. Facebook will remove the @ sign and highlig=
ht the name in blue, showing that he's tagged. For example, =E2=80=9CTexas =
House Speaker @Dade Phelan plans to assign powerful committee chairmanships=
to the Democrats again! This has got to stop! Please reach out to your S=
tate Rep and the Speaker and tell them we are tired of losing based on thei=
r poor management of our majority power. @Giovanni Capriglione, this includ=
es you!=E2=80=9D You can tag them on Twitter as well.
Repeat several times between now and Christmas. Why? Because deals are bei=
ng made and conversations are being had as we speak that you aren=E2=80=99t=
even aware of. If you wait until January when the session starts, these a=
ssignments will already be a done deal and we lose (or rather, Texas loses)=
. Go ahead and mark your calendar now to remind yourself every few weeks t=
hat it=E2=80=99s time for your State Rep and the Speaker to get another nud=
ge.
Talk up censuring. Your Republican Precinct Chairs and SREC representative=
s have the power to officially censure the Speaker for naming Democrats as =
committee chairs. Let them know that you want this step to be taken if Spe=
aker Phelan pulls more of his same shenanigans. Don't know who your precin=
ct chair and SREC reps are? Google your county GOP office and ask!
Most people aren=E2=80=99t paying attention, folks. That makes it all the =
more important for you to. It's not hard! Remember, at True Texas Project,=
we don=E2=80=99t just get mad, we do something about it.
Thank you, fellow warriors!
Julie McCarty, CEO
PS. Most of our activist assignments are only sent to those who requested =
to be on our Citizen Advocate email list (you can add your name by emailing=
[email protected]). But this is one we wanted to make everyone aware o=
f. Please do your part, and please email Fran to get on the regular list!

Tired of getting so many emails? Please be patient!
We put the location in the subject of every event email so that you can eas=
ily delete without opening it, but you know what is a better idea? Forward=
the email to those you know in that area! We send all emails to all subsc=
ribers because so many True Texans do just that... share the invites! We h=
ope you will too, but if not, kindly just delete. No need to send in a com=
plaint or unsubscribe. There truly is a method to our madness as we work h=
ard to build the army across this great big state!

and there would be no reciprocation of this more-than-generous gesture.&nbs=
p; Why? Because each party has goals and an agenda, and when you win =
you are expected to act on them. The Dems are very good at it. =
The Republicans? Not so much. So in spite of the fact that the =

Heads up! New assignment!
And this one was requested by one of our favorite State Reps because support is needed from We The People.
We need to make some noise! Last spring more than 80% of Republicans who voted in the Primary said that when the Republican Party has the majority, we do NOT want our leadership to appoint Democrats as committee chairs. Read about it here.
It ain’t rocket science, but sadly, yes, it’s a thing, believe it or not. Our Republican legislature routinely allows the Speaker to hand over powerful and influential positions to the Democrats. He doesn’t have to. There’s no rule to make him. It’s merely “tradition.” Of course, if the Dems had the majority, that tradition wouldn’t amount to a hill of beans, and there would be no reciprocation of this more-than-generous gesture. Why? Because each party has goals and an agenda, and when you win you are expected to act on them. The Dems are very good at it. The Republicans? Not so much. So in spite of the fact that the Democrat Chairs kill conservative bills with all sorts of games and trickery, and in spite of the fact that Democrats literally left the state last year to wreak havoc and did so on the taxpayer dime and without punishment, and in spite of the fact that Republican voters don't want Democrats to be chairman, our presumed Speaker, Dade Phelan (pronounced “felon”), has every intention to do that foolish thing anyway.
So what do you do? You raise a stink. Your State Rep needs to feel a ton of pressure – enough so that he or she turns around and applies that same pressure to Speaker Phelan. Life must be made very uncomfortable for all involved. Post on social media, make calls, send emails, threaten censures in your Republican clubs and committees. Do whatever it takes.
Right now only one side realizes we’re at war. The other side has leadership still trying to kiss and make up. It’s time for We The People to let those “leaders” feel some heat to get the job done that we hired them to do.
Your marching orders:
Contact your State Rep. Don’t know who your State Rep is? Find it here. Then reach out via phone, online contact form, and on their social media (Twitter, Facebook, etc) and ask them to make sure the Speaker of the House does not assign Democrats as committee chairs.
Send the same messaging in the same ways to Speaker Dade Phelan.
Phone: (512) 463-1000
Facebook
Twitter
Online Form
Utilize your own social media pages and accounts to educate others and apply more pressure. You can tag your State Rep in your Facebook post by prefacing the name with the @ symbol. Facebook will remove the @ sign and highlight the name in blue, showing that he's tagged. For example, “Texas House Speaker @Dade Phelan plans to assign powerful committee chairmanships to the Democrats again! This has got to stop! Please reach out to your State Rep and the Speaker and tell them we are tired of losing based on their poor management of our majority power. @Giovanni Capriglione, this includes you!” You can tag them on Twitter as well.
Repeat several times between now and Christmas. Why? Because deals are being made and conversations are being had as we speak that you aren’t even aware of. If you wait until January when the session starts, these assignments will already be a done deal and we lose (or rather, Texas loses). Go ahead and mark your calendar now to remind yourself every few weeks that it’s time for your State Rep and the Speaker to get another nudge.
Talk up censuring. Your Republican Precinct Chairs and SREC representatives have the power to officially censure the Speaker for naming Democrats as committee chairs. Let them know that you want this step to be taken if Speaker Phelan pulls more of his same shenanigans. Don't know who your precinct chair and SREC reps are? Google your county GOP office and ask!
Most people aren’t paying attention, folks. That makes it all the more important for you to. It's not hard! Remember, at True Texas Project, we don’t just get mad, we do something about it.
Thank you, fellow warriors!

Tired of getting so many emails? Please be patient!
We put the location in the subject of every event email so that you can easily delete without opening it, but you know what is a better idea? Forward the email to those you know in that area! We send all emails to all subscribers because so many True Texans do just that... share the invites! We hope you will too, but if not, kindly just delete. No need to send in a complaint or unsubscribe. There truly is a method to our madness as we work hard to build the army across this great big state!

Heads up! New assignment!
And this one was requested by one of our favorite State Reps because support is needed from We The People.
We need to make some noise! Last spring more than 80% of Republicans who voted in the Primary said that when the Republican Party has the majority, we do NOT want our leadership to appoint Democrats as committee chairs. Read about it here.
It ain’t rocket science, but sadly, yes, it’s a thing, believe it or not. Our Republican legislature routinely allows the Speaker to hand over powerful and influential positions to the Democrats. He doesn’t have to. There’s no rule to make him. It’s merely “tradition.” Of course, if the Dems had the majority, that tradition wouldn’t amount to a hill of beans, and there would be no reciprocation of this more-than-generous gesture. Why? Because each party has goals and an agenda, and when you win you are expected to act on them. The Dems are very good at it. The Republicans? Not so much. So in spite of the fact that the Democrat Chairs kill conservative bills with all sorts of games and trickery, and in spite of the fact that Democrats literally left the state last year to wreak havoc and did so on the taxpayer dime and without punishment, and in spite of the fact that Republican voters don't want Democrats to be chairman, our presumed Speaker, Dade Phelan (pronounced “felon”), has every intention to do that foolish thing anyway.
So what do you do? You raise a stink. Your State Rep needs to feel a ton of pressure – enough so that he or she turns around and applies that same pressure to Speaker Phelan. Life must be made very uncomfortable for all involved. Post on social media, make calls, send emails, threaten censures in your Republican clubs and committees. Do whatever it takes.
Right now only one side realizes we’re at war. The other side has leadership still trying to kiss and make up. It’s time for We The People to let those “leaders” feel some heat to get the job done that we hired them to do.
Your marching orders:
Contact your State Rep. Don’t know who your State Rep is? Find it here. Then reach out via phone, online contact form, and on their social media (Twitter, Facebook, etc) and ask them to make sure the Speaker of the House does not assign Democrats as committee chairs.
Send the same messaging in the same ways to Speaker Dade Phelan.
Phone: (512) 463-1000
Online Form
Utilize your own social media pages and accounts to educate others and apply more pressure. You can tag your State Rep in your Facebook post by prefacing the name with the @ symbol. Facebook will remove the @ sign and highlight the name in blue, showing that he's tagged. For example, “Texas House Speaker @Dade Phelan plans to assign powerful committee chairmanships to the Democrats again! This has got to stop! Please reach out to your State Rep and the Speaker and tell them we are tired of losing based on their poor management of our majority power. @Giovanni Capriglione, this includes you!” You can tag them on Twitter as well.
Repeat several times between now and Christmas. Why? Because deals are being made and conversations are being had as we speak that you aren’t even aware of. If you wait until January when the session starts, these assignments will already be a done deal and we lose (or rather, Texas loses). Go ahead and mark your calendar now to remind yourself every few weeks that it’s time for your State Rep and the Speaker to get another nudge.
Talk up censuring. Your Republican Precinct Chairs and SREC representatives have the power to officially censure the Speaker for naming Democrats as committee chairs. Let them know that you want this step to be taken if Speaker Phelan pulls more of his same shenanigans. Don't know who your precinct chair and SREC reps are? Google your county GOP office and ask!
Most people aren’t paying attention, folks. That makes it all the more important for you to. It's not hard! Remember, at True Texas Project, we don’t just get mad, we do something about it.
Thank you, fellow warriors!
Julie McCarty, CEO
PS. Most of our activist assignments are only sent to those who requested to be on our Citizen Advocate email list (you can add your name by emailing [email protected]). But this is one we wanted to make everyone aware of. Please do your part, and please email Fran to get on the regular list!
