Open Meeting-Will Texas be blue in November 2020?

Please join us as we kick off a new season of monthly meetings with Senator Brandon Creighton. Senator Creighton will discuss the future of our great state of Texas and what to expect in our next election cycle. Senator Creighton will also give his inside view of the last session of the Texas legislature.

As always, our mission is to educate and organize citizens regarding public policy and founding principles, and to support the election of local, state and national candidates who share our core values. Constitutionally limited government, fiscal responsibility and free markets are our mantra.

Candidate Spotlight

At every meeting, we welcome candidates for office on the November ballot to address the group for 3 minutes. In that short time, we’d like you candidates to introduce yourselves, share why you are running, and briefly cover the main issues in your race. You are invited to join our candidate spotlight every time we have it. That way, we’ll get to know you better, you can cover more issues, and we can see you develop as a candidate. Please sign in as a candidate before the meeting and we’ll invite you up in the order on the sheet. No RSVP is necessary. And, Patriot, please share this invitation with candidates who may not know of this opportunity.

Volunteers Needed

As we ramp up for the November election, and for the Primary in March, we need people who can do internet research on candidates, to serve on vetting committees, to help with graphic design, to edit text, to plan and help with events for volunteers, to hand out voter guides, etc. If you’d like to help with any of this, we’d love to meet you at the Sept 3rd meeting.

The vital force of labor added materially to the highest standard of living and the greatest production the world has ever known, and has brought us closer to the realization of our traditional ideals of economic and political democracy. It is appropriate, therefore, that the nation pays tribute on Labor Day to the creator of so much of the nation’s strength, freedom, and leadership — the American worker.”-US Department of Labor

Open Meeting with Lt. Commander Dan Crenshaw (retired)

Open Meeting with Lt. Commander Dan Crenshaw (retired)

Time change - There will be a reception before the meeting, from 6-6:30.

Please join us for our monthly meeting, where we welcome Dan Crenshaw. Lieutenant Commander Dan Crenshaw (retired) is originally from Houston, Texas, and a proud 6th generation Texan. His father’s career in the Texas oil and gas industry moved his family all over the world, including Ecuador and Colombia. As a result, Dan is fluent in Spanish. From an early age, Dan knew that he wanted to serve his country with the most elite fighting force in history: the U.S. Navy SEALs. Dan graduated from Tufts University in 2006, where he earned his Naval officer commission through Navy ROTC. He immediately reported to SEAL training in Coronado, CA, where he met his future wife, Tara, just a few months later. After graduating SEAL training, Dan deployed to Fallujah, Iraq to join SEAL Team Three, his first of five deployments overseas.

On Dan’s third deployment in 2012, his life changed forever. After six months of combat operations, Dan was hit by an IED blast during a mission in Helmand province, Afghanistan. He was evacuated and awoke from his medically induced coma learning that his right eye had been destroyed in the blast and his left eye was still present, but badly damaged. Dan was completely blind and the doctors did not believe he would ever see again. Tara stood by him every day and night, keeping faith and praying he would see again. After several difficult surgeries, he eventually regained sight in his left eye, a miracle according to the head surgeon. Dan refused to quit and went on to deploy twice more, first back to the Middle East in 2014 and then South Korea in 2016.

Dan was medically retired in September of 2016, after ten years in the SEAL Teams. He left service with two Bronze Stars (one with Valor), the Purple Heart, and the Navy Commendation Medal with Valor, among many other recognitions. Soon after, Dan completed his Master in Public Administration at the Harvard Kennedy School of Government. In September of last year, he was back in Houston, volunteering for days on end in areas of Katy devastated by Hurricane Harvey. He saw first-hand the unthinkable losses that his neighbors suffered, but he also saw Texan grit and resilience. He wanted to do more, and this November Dan and Tara decided that the best way to serve the people of Texas would be in elected office.

Dan is now running for the U.S. House of Representatives in Texas’ 2nd district, where Dan grew up and where his family lives now. He believes in service before self, and understands that there is no higher calling than service to the American people. His wife Tara is no stranger to service either: she comes from a career Navy family, and is an active fundraiser for families of fallen service members and suicide prevention.

Dan is a staunch Republican and knows the importance of carrying the conservative movement through to the next generation. Dan can no longer fight on the battlefield, but he can bring the integrity, leadership, vision, and tenacity learned in the SEAL teams to fight in Congress for common sense policies that ensure our nation’s prosperity and security, represent our Christian values, and again give Texans a reason to be proud of their leaders.

Open Meeting-Active Shooters: A Solution for Texas

Please join us for our monthly open meeting as we host a discussion concerning current and proposed practices for the safety of our schools, churches and public venues. Our speakers will include Montgomery County Precinct 3 Constable Ron Gable and Dr. Tom Sloan. Dr. Sloan is a native Texan who has practiced internal medicine in the Woodlands since 1991. Our discussion will focus on policies that could increase the safety of schools and communities while preserving Second Amendment rights.

Governor Greg Abbott has just released a 44 page plan for gun safety in schools and is open to a special session to put these suggestions into law. An informed community with  a consensus is the best plan in order to have our voices heard.

We meet at TWFG in the Woodlands mall, upstairs by the food court.

Open Meeting with Attorney General Ken Paxton

  • TWFG Training Room, next to the Food Court in The Woodlands Mall (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

Join us Tuesday, March 27, 2018 from 6:30pm to 8pm to welcome and hear our outstanding conservative Attorney General Ken Paxton at our next Open Meeting.  We'll also congratulate the many candidates we supported in the March 6th primary who won their races or are headed to a runoff.  We meet in the TWFG Training Room, 2nd floor of The Woodlands Mall, next to the Food Court.  

Attorney General Ken Paxton

In November, 2014 Ken Paxton became the 51st Attorney General of Texas after over a year of campaigning to earn the votes of Texans across the state. The son of an Air Force veteran, General Paxton is consistently recognized as a conservative, stalwart leader with a deep passion and respect for our U.S. Constitution through his previous service in the Texas House and Senate and now as Attorney General. He is known for his principled and uncompromising devotion to America’s founding values.

Once elected, Ken immediately went to work fulfilling his campaign promises to protect the 10th Amendment, fighting efforts by President Obama and his administration to infringe upon Texas’ state sovereignty. And recently, he has been a prominent voice in the defense of religious liberty during multiple attacks by the Obama Administration and the Supreme Court. A defender of our free enterprise system, General Paxton also continues to fight against overreaching government regulations which harm Texas jobs and economic growth.

First elected in 2002 as a State Representative in House District 70, Mr. Paxton served in the Texas House of Representatives for 10 years prior to being elected to represent Texas Senate District 8 in 2012, where he served until being elected Attorney General. SD 8 includes the majority of Collin County and a portion of Dallas County.

Hope you can join us!

Early Voting

It has been raining at the polls this week, but that didn’t keep voters away.  Our folks who always work at the polls were still there (with some new ones! Thank you!) and voters were receptive to our voter guide.  But the pay-to-play ballots are showing up with voters as well.  Having volunteers at the polls offering our Texas Patriots PAC voter guide clearly shows voters that we are grassroots conservatives who stand behind our best conservative candidates.  Voters, and candidates, remember who was there in the rain.

I know that you want government that gives you the most liberty.   This weekend and next week, you have a very effective way to help that happen by giving two hours of your valuable time to greeting voters at the polls.  Next week, polls are open 7am to 7pm.  You may have a commitment early in the morning or toward evening.  Maybe you can be there for the rush of voters first thing in the morning.  When could you be with us? 

If you can’t donate your time, please consider donating money.  Your $20 donation makes a huge difference.  Your regular monthly donation of any amount helps even more.  Click here to donate.

Email me at Julie@TexasPatriotsPAC.com.  Hope to hear from you soon!
