𝗢𝗽𝗲𝗻 𝗟𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗼 𝗧𝗲𝘅𝗮𝘀 𝗥𝗲𝗽𝘂𝗯𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗻𝘀 Dear Texas Republicans, We need to talk as we head into convention next week. Education in Texas — from PreK through higher education — has been largely abdicated to the left. While Republican majorities have controlled the Legislature and Governor’s office for decades, the day-to-day reality in our classrooms, curricula, libraries, and campuses reflects leftist priorities: identity politics, explicit materials, and ideological capture rather than reading, writing, math, and American values. This abdication comes with massive financial control. Education consumes a dominant share of the Texas budget — 𝗔𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗹𝗲 𝗜𝗜𝗜 𝗲𝗱𝘂𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗹𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝘁𝗼𝘁𝗮𝗹𝘀 𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵𝗹𝘆 $𝟭𝟯𝟰.𝟲 𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲–𝟮𝟳 𝗯𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗻𝗶𝘂𝗺, effectively putting more than half of the state’s discretionary priorities under the influence of systems shaped by entrenched left-leaning interests in the education bureaucracy. Hundreds of millions in taxpayer dollars flow every year to vendors, contractors, curriculum providers, and education lobby groups. Far too often, these beneficiaries turn around and funnel money into left-leaning initiatives, teachers’ unions, and political causes that actively oppose Republican priorities on parental rights, curriculum transparency, and school safety. The education-industrial complex has effectively weaponized public education dollars against conservative values — growing bureaucracy and funding ideological programs while academic results suffer. Under Commissioner Mike Morath’s tenure, state spending on public education has risen dramatically. As this graph clearly shows, per-pupil spending in Texas grew 48% since 2013 to approximately $12,300, far outpacing inflation. Yet the results have been devastating: 𝗠𝗮𝘁𝗵 𝟴𝘁𝗵-𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗱𝗲 𝗡𝗔𝗘𝗣 𝘀𝗰𝗼𝗿𝗲𝘀 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗳𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗻 𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗶𝗹𝘆, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝟰𝘁𝗵-𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗱𝗲 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘀𝗰𝗼𝗿𝗲𝘀 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗱𝗲𝗰𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗱𝗲𝗰𝗮𝗱𝗲 — 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻 𝗮𝘀 𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗻𝘂𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗰𝗹𝗶𝗺𝗯. There has been nothing positive to show for the last ten-plus years under Commissioner Morath’s leadership. While education trends across the U.S. have seen similar challenges, it is widely known that Texas and California drive much of the nation’s education industry, textbooks, curriculum trends, and policy direction. Texas cannot afford to follow national decline — we must lead with conservative excellence. Even under Commissioner Mike Morath’s leadership at the Texas Education Agency, we’ve seen DEI initiatives persist in various forms, while reports of educator misconduct have exploded. TEA data shows sexual misconduct investigations and “inappropriate relationship” cases surging dramatically. Parents are right to demand predators be removed from schools, not managed through ineffective oversight. 𝗧𝗘𝗔 𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝘀𝗼𝗹𝘃𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗱𝗲𝗲𝗽𝗲𝗿 𝗰𝘂𝗹𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗮𝗹 𝗶𝘀𝘀𝘂𝗲𝘀. In Houston ISD, despite state intervention, an advocate named Bonnie Wallace was removed by police from a board meeting in March 2026 simply for reading aloud explicit passages from A Court of Silver Flames — a book still available in district libraries. If the content is too graphic for a public board meeting, it certainly does not belong in school libraries accessible to children. In Fort Worth ISD — which was also placed under TEA control and leadership transition — we recently witnessed the district appoint (then reassign amid backlash) a principal whose social media history included strong support for movements and views many Texas parents see as hard-left. These are not isolated incidents. They reflect a system where leftist ideology fills the vacuum left by conservative neglect of the classroom. Texas children deserve a conservative TEA Commissioner who prioritizes core academics, parental rights, safety, and results over bureaucratic expansion and ineffective oversight. 𝗙𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗼𝘄 𝗥𝗲𝗽𝘂𝗯𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗻𝘀: 𝗜𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗲 “𝗧𝗮𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗕𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗧𝗲𝘅𝗮𝘀 𝗣𝘂𝗯𝗹𝗶𝗰 𝗦𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗼𝗹 𝗖𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗿𝗼𝗼𝗺” 𝗮 𝘁𝗼𝗽 𝗹𝗲𝗴𝗶𝘀𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗶𝗼𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘆. This means aggressive action on removing explicit materials, enforcing transparency in curricula and libraries, prioritizing core academics over ideology, cracking down on educator misconduct with real consequences, restoring parental rights, and ensuring strong conservative leadership at every level of education governance. Over time, as Republicans reclaim control of the classroom and reduce the flow of public dollars into left-aligned networks, it will become far easier to advance Republican values across Texas — from border security and tax relief to life and liberty. Texas cannot remain a reliably Red state if we lose the next generation in our own schools. Parents are watching. Voters are watching. The future of our state — our culture, our economy, and our freedoms — depends on bold leadership now. The moment demands bold leadership. Let’s walk out of this convention united, fired up, and relentlessly committed to securing the future of Texas — our children.

I warned everyone... The Texas government is likely one of the biggest funders of DEI in America over the past decade. …while property taxes skyrocketed.

Never surrender. Never retreat.

🚨 URGENT: Texas GOP Legislative Priorities Committee Call to Action STOP THE KILL SWITCH The window to stop the “kill switch” is closing—and we need your help. In just a few weeks, the U.S. House and Senate will begin crafting the next highway bill. We need Senator Cruz to take action and repeal the kill switch. 🚨 TAKE ACTION NOW Here’s what we need YOU to do ASAP: Call Senator Ted Cruz (who chairs the relevant committee) U.S. Capitol Switchboard: (202) 224-3121 (tel: 1-202-224-3121) Legislative Director Preston Howey (202) 224-5922 (tel: 1-202-224-5922) Email (mailto:preston_howey@cruz.senate.gov) State Director Cassy Garcia (512) 916-5834 (tel: 1-512-916-5834) Email (mailto:cassy_garcia@cruz.senate.gov) WHAT TO SAY: Ask @SenTedCruz to “Repeal the Kill Switch” in the next highway bill. Remind him: The Republican Party of Texas (its governing body, the SREC) passed a UNANIMOUS resolution just weeks ago calling for repeal. That resolution was hand-delivered last year: texasturf.org/images/pdf/202… A coalition letter with over 200 grassroots supporters was also delivered in 2023: texasturf.org/images/pdf/202… And a one-page policy statement was hand-delivered as well: texasturf.org/images/pdf/202… This is a critical moment. Don’t wait—make the call. #KilltheKillSwitch #killswitch @TxTurf @RachelHaleforTX @TexasGOP

Wilco County Judge Snell called for me to be removed from Republican Election Integrity Committee and banned from Republican Party for fighting for remedy and relief from systems Wilco County Commissioners Court have protected for 6 years. These systems violate our Constitutional rights and GROSSLY fail to meet Constitutional and Statutory Standards. On March 24th the Commissioners went on an epic defamatory and slanderous rant from Dias while associating and accusing me causing a J6 Election Insurrection with my 46 million view Clockgate tweet. Now they hide the evidence that will not only show I was assaulted by EA Escobedo ramming a cart into me on Election Day evening but also show Laura and I did not splice any videos together deceptively. TYRRANY IN TEXAS

🚨 CHARACTER ASSASSINATION OF A WILLIAMSON COUNTY CITIZEN: OFFICIALS BLAME VOLUNTEER FOR THEIR BOTCHED 2026 PRIMARY The views expressed are my opinion after reviewing the over 3 hour video along with the watching most of the meeting live. Williamson County Republican Judge Snell and Commissioners Covey, Long, and Boles publicly shamed and defamed citizen Lori Gallagher @Lorionafarm at Commissioners Court — without giving her any opportunity to defend herself. Instead of addressing the county’s failures in the 2026 Primary, they accused her of intentionally posting an inaccurate tweet, editing a video, being “deceitful and dishonest,” and giving Republicans a “black eye.” They even suggested removing her from the Election Integrity Committee and shunning her from the Party. They suddenly claimed her post below caused death threats and office chaos — claims they never publicly mentioned until after the botched election. This is not leadership. This is a coordinated character assassination against a Republican woman raising legitimate election integrity concerns. Shame on Judge Snell and Commissioners Covey, Long, and Boles for attempting to divert responsibility onto an unelected volunteer. You can watch the full 3-hour-plus video at the link below and let me know what you think. I have clipped some of the most outrageous clips and shared below. As a former elected official, I am beyond appalled that my tax dollars supported this character assassination. Note: Judge Snell, a former school superintendent, deserted his post last April during one of the busiest and most critical times of the school year to become Williamson County Judge. williamsoncountytx.new.swagi…

@DocPeteChambers @DonHuffines It is EXTREMELY important that you *know* (inside and out) that it is literally IMPOSSIBLE to secure ANY election conducted using computerized systems, software or cloud-hosted "election management" systems of ANY KIND. Please follow me on the logic here. You don't have to be a tech-savvy engineer to understand this: Anyone who tells you an election conducted using electronic voting systems can be in ANY way "safe," "certified," "inspected," "supervised," "Secure," "audited," "tracked," etc. is LYING to you. In this picture is a single, multi-function processor chip. In EVERY voting system component, one can expect to find dozens, possibly hundreds of silicon chips and other components. Here's the important part: There isn't a single human alive who can look at this chip and tell you with *certainty* - exactly what this chip is designed to do. Can it make a secret phone call? Can it send and receive data via Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or other 2-way data protocol? It was made in China. Are there hidden back doors in this chip permitting foreign actors to secretly hack into the device to change the outcome of an election? The FACT is: it would take a *team* of the most skilled silicon engineers in the United States a MONTH to reverse engineer A SINGLE CHIP like this to be able to positively answer the questions above. A MONTH to know with *certainty* that ONE chip in ONE voting machine (or server, or tabulator, or scanner, or poll-pad etc.) can be *trusted.* Consequently, it is physically and logistically IMPOSSIBLE to inspect, certify, monitor, police, or in any other way determine, with CERTAINTY, a SINGLE voting machine -- Let alone *thousands* of them across the entire state of Texas! The ONLY reason to use computer hardware, software or cloud services of ANY kind -- is to CHEAT! Anyone who argues otherwise has either has NO IDEA what they are talking about, or is a co-conspirator in the crimes being committed with the machines and software. You ask: "...where is it vulnerable?" The answer is simple: If there is so much as a SINGLE computer, a single piece of software, a single third-party cloud service involved -- you have a MASSIVE VULNERABILITY! The only way elections can be conducted safely, securely and accurately is by using paper, ink and many sets of eyeballs (observers). Everyone at the table (representing all parties) looks at *every* ballot, one at a time and agrees that the paper ballot contains votes for candidates x, y and z. Then they move on to the next paper ballot. That's how it worked for 150 years! Additionally, the real-time, up-to-the-second knowledge of WHO voted, and who *hasn't* voted needs to be *banned* as well. The ONLY reason to facilitate this level of inside knowledge is to CHEAT! If you know -- in real time how many votes your (criminal) candidate needs, and you intend to *cheat,* what better information could you possibly ask for? PLEASE make your platform be the loudest voice in the entire united states for the *permanent* BAN of all computers, software and electronic services in Texas elections! Sincerely, a Texan and longtime tech engineer who *knows* how all of this stuff works.

RT @drbone4tx: @Lorionafarm Absolutely—this surveillance tampering is just one more red flag in Williamson County's rigged election mess of…

📣 $1.1 M WASTED IN WILCO 📣 In June 2025, the Wilco EA recommended the purchase of ballot-on-demand equipment to comply with @POTUS EO to “eliminate bar codes from voting ballots” for all elections. The resolution & purchase were approved by Commissioners Court UNANIMOUSLY. Our Nov 2025 election was conducted using the BOD as our primary voting system, with machines offered to be in compliance with ADA only. Fast forward to the 26 Primary and dozens of machines have been placed in every Early Voting site, and the EA has instructed clerks to offer and encourage “electronic” voting - with bar codes! These machines are not only being used in violation of TX Elec Code and without Commissioners Court approval, they are programmed to offer FEDERAL ONLY ballots, which the @TXsecofstate has said should never be offered to in-person voters. There is no way to estimate how many ballots have been impacted and how many down-ballot candidates negatively affected by not having their races presented to voters. The @WilcoGOP has exhausted every option available, yet the EA refuses to acknowledge that she must follow the law and CC directives. SPEAK UP WILCO! Contact your County Judge and Commissioner NOW! wilcotx.gov/331/Commissioner… and show up to Commissioners Court TOMORROW 2/24 at 9:30 am.

I’ve endorsed Briscoe Cain because I know him. He’s exactly what Congress needs.
