Here is how fast Texas is being turned blue, thanks largely to inaction by the GOP (notably, TX has record Republican gains in 2020, still ongoing with South Texas flips... GOP vote stagnation and decline is not present here as with most flips).

The four blue counties are their big margin makers. The shaded counties each year were the ones needed to cancel out the blues. Look at 2020, even with 1.2mm new Trump votes.

CCDF recently sat down with Catherine Englebrecht of True The Vote & 2000 Mules to discuss election integrity. https://ccdfusa.com/videos/the-importance-of-election-integrity-with-catherine-engelbrecht/

Thank you to those who attended the CCDF luncheon last week. We hope it was informative and opened your eyes to the state of affairs. If you will answer the call you can become apart of the solution here in Hays County - all hands on deck. Join CCDF and volunteer to engage in our work in Election Integrity & Education Curriculum Integrity. We have initiatives already in the works the only thing missing is You!

For the committee on 7/26 10:00 a.m. – Public Education E2.012 - Mental Health will be a strong subject.

It will be a good idea that if you have evidence to present to the senate that you do so on this day, as the 3rd party providers for mental health are having a love affair with the idea of having mental health services in the school setting. Organizations need to stay on their side and boundaries are required. If your child is viewed as a "trouble kid" those organizations will decide where to send your child for their education, parents will have no power over the decision.

So, if you have surveys take them with you.

**You will need 20 copies of what surveys your kids have received in school without your parental consent. And your testimony can only last 2 minutes so have notes on your remarks ready.

Social & Emotional Learning class at Hays ISD, it is important parents take a look at what SEL & CRT is teaching our students.

We recommend parents get engaged in learning about this before sending your students back to school.

If your LEOs select which laws they want to enforce and which ones they will not, then that is effectively ruling by proxy of your position. If you are not going to fulfill the position for which you were hired perhaps it is time to put out the Now Hiring sign and find someone who upholds the laws as they are written. https://communityimpact.com/austin/san-marcos-buda-kyle/government/2022/08/04/san-marcos-not-devoting-police-resources-to-abortion-investigations-city-council-discusses-educational-resources/?utm_campaign=Impact%3A%20San%20Marcos%2FBuda%2FKyle&utm_medium=email&_hsmi=221889967&_hsenc=p2ANqtz-_pC2RUApFf7Z7T5E76izacfVeEJyBN5jzmS9Y8ETDQcDC9xMk9oxVrETnvDDGitjQyKFxP9Yv-R4GL9-G4EXj_2ytz-g&utm_content=221889967&utm_source=hs_email
