@realdonaldtrump was masterful at his Rally in Dallas. There is no other way to describe it, but simply electrifying. His message wasn’t a message about race, hatred, delusion, or negativity, but rather a full-blown battle cry for the upcoming 2020 election.
President Trump explained how the 2020 election will be one of the most important elections many of us will see in our lifetimes in terms of the potential loss of Liberties and Freedoms for every American citizen if Republicans do not fully engage in next years Primary and General Election. This also wasn’t just a call for unity and focus on the Presidential race with whoever the final Democratic candidate may be, but for all Republican races across the Country for all U.S. House, U.S. Senate, State Legislative races, all the way down to the last Republican on the ballot. We must defend majorities we already have, and fight like hell to regain the ones we gave away in the last two cycles. These races will be just as critical as the POTUS’s race. President Trump recognized and thanked both of his allies in the Senate from Texas, John Cornyn and Ted Cruz , as well as numerous U.S. Congressional members from Texas who all came out to support our President, including our very own C.D. 6 Congressman, Ron Wright.
The President was correct to call out the mainstream media again at the rally literally to their face for often twisting facts, failing to deliver the whole story, and most of the time for enabling the far left by giving tremendous amounts of coverage to the so called “witch hunts”, promoting many of Democrats and their socialist beliefs, and in many instances actually enabling these “socialist and communist” agendas to be covered in a light to make average viewers believe that these programs touted by several freshman Democrats, and even some of their Sr Leadership members, are a good thing. These same Democrats actually believe it would be good for our Country to strip our Rights and Freedoms in return for higher taxes, to create a full entitlement driven society which drives the cause for an expanding government. Most disturbing to me personally is a society that thinks we should ban guns because they are deemed by Democrats as “the number one cause of deaths, or “mass murder instruments”, yet we allow abortionists to KILL more of the unborn every year through abortions than all other means of violent deaths combined. For this reason, and all listed directly above, I will never give up my firearms to anyone. Any candidate who preaches that if elected President, he/she will make sure our firearms will be surrendered or confiscated will not want to find out the reaction from all of the law-abiding gun owners in the U.S. who have over 600 million guns… and 25 trillion rounds of ammo. If we, lawful gun owners and guns, were truly the problem, I think it would be very easy to determine by now.
The only comment I have for those challenging our POTUS, and those wanting to TAKE our guns is…. “COME AND TAKE IT”! #USA #KAG2020 #GOP #TXGOP #election2020 #republicansunite #yourvoiceyourvote #therealdonaldtrump #SJC #sentedcruz #Trump2020 ... See MoreSee Less

Texas Secretary of State Hughs Encourages Texans To Vote Early, Make Preparations To Cast A Ballot In November 5th Election
AUSTIN – Texas Secretary of State Ruth Hughs today encouraged all eligible Texas voters to take advantage of the early voting period ahead of the November 5th election, which begins on Monday, October 21st and ends on Friday, November 1st. Voters across the state will be casting ballots for statewide constitutional amendments, special elections, and local political subdivision elections, including those for mayor, city council, school board, municipal utility districts, and other local entities. The Secretary urged voters to research the candidates, amendments, and measures that will appear on their ballot as they prepare to make their voices heard.
"As voting for the November 5th election begins next week, I want to remind Texas voters to take advantage of the early voting period in order to make their voices heard," said Secretary Hughs. "It is critical that all eligible Texans have the opportunity to help shape the direction of the Lone Star State."
During the early voting period, voters may cast a ballot at any location in their county of registration. On Election Day, only voters registered in a county that participates in the Countywide Polling Place Program (CWPP) can cast a ballot at any location in the county. In counties that do not participate in the CWPP, Texas voters must cast a ballot in their precinct of registration on Election Day.
Voters can check their registration status and view additional voting information online through the Texas Secretary of State's 'Am I Registered?' tool. Voters may also contact their respective county elections offices directly for more information about their ballot and appropriate polling location.
Texas voters who wish to cast a ballot by mail must ensure their Application for Ballot by Mail (ABBM) (PDF) is received by the Early Voting Clerk in their county of registration by Friday, October 25th. Learn more about requirements for voting by mail in Texas.
Additionally, Secretary Hughs reminded eligible Texas voters who possess one of the seven approved forms of photo ID that they must present that ID at the polls. Voters who do not possess and cannot reasonably obtain one of the seven forms of approved photo ID can fill out a Reasonable Impediment Declaration (PDF) form, which is available at each polling location, and provide a supporting form of identification. Certain voters may qualify for certain exemptions to presenting an acceptable form of photo identification or following the Reasonable Impediment Declaration (PDF) procedure.
The seven forms of approved photo ID are:
• Texas Driver License issued by the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS);
• Texas Election Identification Certificate issued by DPS;
• Texas Personal Identification Card issued by DPS;
• Texas Handgun License issued by DPS;
• United States Military Identification Card containing the person’s photograph;
• United States Citizenship Certificate containing the person’s photograph; and
• United States Passport (book or card)
With the exception of the U.S. Citizenship Certificate, which does not expire, the acceptable photo ID must be current or, for voters aged 18-69, have expired no more than four years before being presented for voter qualification at the polling place. A voter 70 years of age or older may use a form of acceptable photo ID listed above that has expired for any length of time if the identification is otherwise valid.
If a voter does not possess one of the forms of acceptable photo identification listed above, and the voter cannot reasonably obtain such identification, the voter may fill out a
Reasonable Impediment Declaration form (PDF), which will be available at each polling location, and present a copy or original of one of the following supporting forms of identification:
• a government document that shows the voter's name and an address, including the voter's voter registration certificate;
• a current utility bill;
• a bank statement;
• a government check;
• a paycheck;
• a certified domestic (from a U.S. state or territory) birth certificate; or
• a document confirming birth admissible in a court of law which establishes the voter's identity (which may include a foreign birth document)
The address on an acceptable form of photo identification or a supporting form of identification, if applicable, does not have to match the voter's address on the list of registered voters.
If a voter meets these requirements and is otherwise eligible to vote, the voter will be able to cast a regular ballot in the election.
Voters with a disability may apply with the county voter registrar for a permanent exemption to presenting an acceptable form of photo identification or following the Reasonable Impediment Declaration procedure at the polls. Voters with a religious objection to being photographed or voters who do not present an acceptable form of photo identification or follow the Reasonable Impediment Declaration procedure at the polls because of certain natural disasters may apply for a temporary exemption to presenting an acceptable form of photo identification or following the Reasonable Impediment Declaration procedure.
For more details, voters may contact their county voter registrar or elections administrator.

54 Lawmakers Awarded for Conservative Voting Records
Alexandria, VA—The American Conservative Union Foundation (ACUF), host of the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), has just released its ratings of the 2019 meeting of the Texas Legislature.
ACUF’s Ratings of Congress and Ratings of the States are initiatives of ACUF’s Center for Legislative Accountability (CLA). These ratings are designed to reflect how over 8,000 elected officials across the nation view the role of government, illustrate the differences between chambers of the legislature, and reveal lawmakers’ positions on a wide variety of issues that directly affect Texans.
ACU Foundation reviewed each piece of legislation voted on in both chambers of the legislature to produce average scores of each chamber as well as individual scores for each sitting member.
“Despite the mainstream media’s ‘blue-wave’ forecasting, our Ratings reflect that Texas lawmakers strongly believe in conservative values,” said ACU Chairman Matt Schlapp. “In the 2019 session, 54 lawmakers earned awards for conservative voting records while defending Second Amendment rights and proposing constitutional protections against a state income tax. Keep dreaming, liberal media—conservatism runs deep in the heart of Texas.”
Republican senators earned an average score of 85% with 16 senators earning awards for scoring 80% or better. Democrat senators earned an average score of 23%. Republican representatives earned an average score of 79% with 38 members earning awards. Democrat representatives earned an average score of 19%. #gop #txgop #txlege ... See MoreSee Less
