To the People of Texas

To the People of Texas,

On May 26, Republicans will choose our nominee for Texas Attorney General at the most pivotal moment in our history since 1836. The most important state – with the 8th largest economy in the world – must have a Chief Legal Officer prepared and qualified to guarantee the safety, security, and prosperity of her sons and daughters.

The Texas we love is under attack. We feel the march of Islam overtaking our institutions – fueled by unlimited immigration and tolerance of those waging Jihad against our Christian values and the Judeo-Christian principles upon which Texas was built. We feel the cost of open borders on our schools, hospitals, airports, and communities.

We feel the danger of criminals and illegal aliens that liberal DA’s and Judges put on our streets. We feel the loss of Texas to corporate board rooms pushing green new scam subsidies and data centers.

Enough. It is time to stand up to defend Texas – and we need a proven fighter as Attorney General to lead the charge.

As an accomplished lawyer and proven conservative, I am that fighter. I have prosecuted criminals, led and won complex litigation to defend Texas as the First Assistant Attorney General under Ken Paxton, and authored and championed the most conservative legislation on record in the U.S. Congress over my 8-year career. Texans who have endorsed me – from Ted Cruz to my constituents who elected me four times – know this to be undeniably true.

Meanwhile, my opponent has never set foot in a courtroom. As State Senator, he introduced legislation to protect Mosques and Sharia communities like EPIC City, made it easier for illegals to drive commercial trucks, and was soft on criminals. We should not hire an unqualified politician who has never seriously practiced law for Attorney General. It is not enough to spend inherited wealth to buy votes and join pay-for-play grifters to target me.

I stood with President Trump against impeachment and to deliver his agenda. I led the fight for border security, to designate cartels as terrorists, and authored President Trump’s top priority – the SAVE America Act. I stood up to cut spending and fraud when the establishment told me to sit down. I spoke up about COVID when the lobbyists, and consultants told me to shut up. I led the charge against the march of Islam when others ran from the “hate” label.

I have the record earned every day in a life dedicated to the battles that defined the MAGA agenda before it was politically convenient to try to buy it. It’s a record that triggered California leftists to spend $1 million in ads against me to “end my career” in the GOP primary because I delivered Trump’s cuts to the Green New Scam Subsidies.

My opponent has been described as “nice.” My family can say I am nice, but I want Texans to say their Attorney General is feared. Our enemies – Marxists, Islamists, cartels, criminals, activist judges, rogue DA’s, leftist non-profits, abortionists, and woke academics – fear only one candidate for Attorney General, and that is Chip Roy.

We cannot win a war that we do not acknowledge is being waged against us. I not only acknowledge the war, but I pledge my life and eternal vigilance to win it. 15 years ago, with God’s grace, I stared down and defeated Stage III cancer. I committed to my family and to God that I would spend every moment of my extra time on earth fighting for the freedom and security to spread the Gospel of Christ and to live out our faith.

As Sam Houston said, “Texas has yet to learn submission to any oppression, come from what source it may.” If you honor me with the duty of serving as Texas Attorney General, we will bow to no one but the Lord Almighty and we will be victorious over our enemies. That is our calling as Texans.

Taxpayers Deserve Answers – We’re Going to Get Them

Taxpayers Deserve Answers – We’re Going to Get Them

Tuesday, County Judge Neal Franklin, retiring Commissioner John Moore, Commissioner Scott Herod, and Commissioner Ralph Caraway refused to support a $135K forensic and compliance audit on 2017 and 2021 Road Bond Projects. Since the County is sitting on tens of millions in unencumbered cash (over taxation), there was plenty of money to find answers.

It is clear they don’t want answers!

Only Commissioner Christina Drewry fought to get answers for you so that the County can fix this mess! 

We spent hundreds of hours over the last 13 months inspecting County documents to get answers.  What we found was horrifying—a case study in mismanagement!  No oversight!  Not even an update on the projects until we brought it up in Feb. 2025!

Smith County’s own records reveal:

🚨 Core Problems

  • Massive Cost Overrun — A program sold as $84.5M is now projected at ~$185M. What caused overruns far beyond inflation?
  • 5‑Year Plan Now in Year 12 — No timeline. No public discussion. Refuse to hold evening town halls. No plan to finish your roads.
  • Regular Budgets Still Flowing — Road & Bridge received ~$120M in operating funds. Where are the improved pavement ratings?
  • Untracked Supplements$14.5M in extra appropriations show no audit trail.

⚠️ Quality & Documentation Failures

  • Missing Engineering Records — No pre‑engineering, in‑project, post‑project, or warranty testing for 73% of the bond project files! The county engineer admitted he had no inspection documentation signing off on completed work!
  • No Verification of Work — Claims that “only a few hundred dollars are unaccounted for” are false, but also ignore the real issue: There’s no documentation to prove many roads were repaired or met standards.

🚧 Questionable Use of Bond Funds

  • Bond Money Diverted — $3.2M in bond funds went to a new road (Centennial Blvd.), not existing roads as promised.
  • Unauthorized Projects25 projectscharged to Phase 1 weren’t on any Commissioners Court approved priority list.
  • Policy Violated — These projects were sold to the voters as reconstruction projects with external contractors for arterial/collector roads with the Road & Bridge Department refocusing on maintaining and repairing roads. The County broke this promise.
  • “In‑House” Work Billed to Bond — County crews rebuilt roads internally while charging only materials to the bond (not labor & equipment) — hiding the true cost to taxpayers…but worse…
  • Missing Purchase Orders$8.2M in purchase orders for “in‑house” work had no discoverable audit trail

📉 Misreported Deliverables

  • Reconstruction Miles Overstated — Smith County claimed 99.7 miles of reconstruction. Atkins Engineering records show only 55 miles were true reconstruction — the rest were overlays.

Bottom line:

This isn’t transparency.
This isn’t accountability.

And it certainly isn’t over!

Grassroots America will not “move on” until the Commissioners Court explains how they plan to fix this!

Taxpayers deserve better.

Dumping any more tax dollars into Road & Bridge without reforming the entire thing from top to bottom is like flushing your tax dollars down a sewer! Stay tuned! We aren’t done with this!

Gov’t Fuzzy Math:

Seniors, Bond Elections & Property Taxes

Local governments love to say
“Over 65 taxpayers won’t be affected!”
when they push new bond debt. The facts tell a very different story.

Fact 1

“It won’t cost you anything” is a shell game.

When officials say new debt won’t raise taxes on over‑65 homeowners, what they’re really doing is shifting the tax burden onto younger families — the very people trying to buy homes, raise kids, and build a future. And the burden doesn’t stop there: local businesses get hit too, which means higher prices on goods and services for everyone — including seniors.

Fact 2

The “monthly cost of a cheeseburger” pitch is misleading.

Those “average monthly cost” numbers are calculated using the entire tax base, including seniors whose tax bills are capped. If seniors make up a large share of the district’s tax base, the “average” is artificially lowered — meaning younger taxpayers may pay far more than the advertised number in bond campaign materials. That’s not transparency. That’s tax creep disguised as a snack‑sized bargain.

Fact 3

Seniors’ taxes are capped, not erased.

The over-65 exemption freezes the maximum a senior can be charged. If a taxing entity pays off debt, refinances, or lowers the debt repayment portion of the tax rate, seniors’ tax bills can actually go down. But when new debt is added that possibility disappears! The claim that bond debt “doesn’t affect seniors” is flat out false.

Fact 4

Many seniors are renters, and rent follows taxes.

When landlords get higher tax bills, those costs don’t magically vanish. They show up as higher rent, fees, or reduced maintenance. Seniors on fixed incomes feel it immediately — and so do younger renters.

Fact 5

Higher property taxes raise prices across the board.

Most small businesses can’t absorb repeated tax hikes. They’re forced to cut wages, cut workers, delay investments, or raise prices on everyday goods and services — including those famous “cheeseburgers.”

— BOTTOM LINE —

Bond debt doesn’t skip seniors. It shifts tax burdens, hides real costs, and eliminates the chance for tax relief for everyone — seniors, families, renters, and local businesses alike.

Voters deserve the full picture.

No Joking Matter – Illegal is illegal

No Joking Matter – Illegal is illegal

Mass Illegal Occupation
of Texas and the US is no joking matter.

Time is running out.
Talk without Action Solves NOTHING!

Here’s THE Plan to remove as many illegals as possible to prepare for a post-Trump America.

Grassroots America is a partner in this Coalition.

Its mission is necessary and righteous.

Bottom line up front:

With little over a year of Trump’s second administration completed, the time for first phase deportations—“the worst first,” should come to an end and advance to phase two: a mass deportation program.

To push for phase two, the Mass Deportation Coalition formed in February 2026 in direct response to political, operational, legal, and physical attacks on deportation operations. These attacks come from both the Left and the Cheap Labor Lobby Right.

Purpose:

Support President Trump’s signature campaign promise to “carry out the largest deportation operation in American history.”

Background:

The Mass Deportation Coalition is composed of immigration law and policy experts, former senior and rank and file law enforcement officials, advocates, and supporters who will provide a permanent support base for mass deportation.

Dangerous Facts:

Trump 47’s first year should be celebrated as a success for highlighting the dangerous qualityof the criminal population removed, but the less than 350,000 actual deportations, (according to scarce data produced in connection with detention management), don’t represent a victory in quantity!

Recent disclosures that only 72,000 deportable aliens completed their use of the CBP Home app demonstrate that self-deportation is not happening at the rate advertised. Illegals are encouraged to “wait it out,” by rogue judges, Democrats, the deranged Left, and Trump officials aligned with the Cheap Labor Lobby.

WHY we are stepping up the pressure
with the Mass Deportation Coalition:

  • American sovereignty depends on this.
  • Saving Texas & the US from the Red/Green Axis (united Communists & Islamists) depends on this.
  • The American people were PROMISED this.
  • The American people overwhelmingly voted for this.
  • Failure to deliver will cause Trump supporters to STAY HOME during midterm elections, giving Democrats power to stop Trump in the last two years of his Presidency.  Massive violence and unrest will break loose across the US.

Remember the promises…

Our detailed Plan will help you debunk every single media lie and the propagandist campaigns of the Left and the Surrender Wing of the Republican Party:

  • Start with the 21-point Executive Summary graphic below.
  • Review the details for each of the 21 recommendations in our Mass Deportation Playbook found here.
  • Especially note the recent poll results at the end of the MDC Playbook.

Big “thank you” to the Texas Grassroots Coalition Partners who answered our call to join the MDC with us! See all groups here.

What you
can do:

  1. Follow, like, share the Mass Deportation Coalition @Phase2Deport, Mike Howell @MHowellTweets and GAWTP @GAWTP on X
  2. Post your support on social media, using any of the points made in the mass deportation plan.  Be sure to tag your US Congressman, US Senator, State Senator, State Rep. and Governor Abbott and Lt. Gov. Patrick in your posts!  See their social media contacts here.
  3. Call your federal and state officials.  Leave a message.  Contacts are all here.
  4. Write a letter to the editor for any newspaper that still exists in your area.
  5. Call local conservative talk shows, using the Plan’s supporting talking points.
  6. Pray for our country and leaders.   God is ALWAYS bigger than all the world’s “giants” put together.

Faithfully fighting for the Liberty our Founders intended,
