Legitimately - if you live in Texas and do not want to fight, start considering evacuation. I hate being melodramatic but I do not see a way trans people survive this.

Legislative Priorities for 2023-2024

Today Republican Party of Texas Chairman Matt Rinaldi appointed James Wesolek to serve as the Party’s Communications Director.

It’s pretty bad. Terrible, actually.

Report of the Permanent Committee on Platform and Resolutions as Amended and Adopted by the 2016 State Convention of the Republican Party of Texas

Y’all I’ve been a Republican for a long time, but after they put this out for a vote on the Convention floor, I doubt I’ll remain one.

It’s ripe with social issues that we just don’t need to focus on.

Also why the hell are these the issues the Party wants to focus on this Legislative Session.....

“We, the delegates of the 2016 Republican Party of Texas State Convention, call upon the 85 th Texas Legislature to:

1. Pass constitutional carry while maintaining licensing as optional for reciprocity purposes.

2. Abolish abortion by enacting legislation to stop the murder of unborn children; and to ignore and refuse to enforce any and all federal statutes, regulations, executive orders, and court rulings, which would deprive an unborn child of the right to life.

3. Prioritize the allocation of funds to effectively secure the border through whatever means necessary, including but not limited to barriers, personnel, and technology over land, sea, and air, because the federal government refuses to secure the southern border of Texas.

4. Call for a limited Article V convention of states for the specific purpose of restricting the power of the federal government, including the implementation of term limits, and balanced budget amendment. Any  proposed amendments must be ratified by " of the states.

5. And to replace the property tax system with an alternative other than the income tax and require voter approval to increase the overall tax burden.”

..... aside from property taxes - we have one of the highest property tax burdens in the nation - everything else is irrelevant, outlandish or has been addressed in previous sessions.

Memorial Day

We at Collin County Young Republicans want to take a moment and honor those who have given their lives for our freedom. This day we set aside to honor those heroes is only a small measure of gratitude we can bestow upon them. We want to thank the families of those who have sent their loved ones into harm’s way, so we can all live our lives secure in the knowledge of our freedoms.
