Texas Supreme Court Justice Brett Busby

“Why are lawyers so expensive, and what can we do about it?”

Did you know that the Texas Supreme Court is charged by our Texas Constitution with regulating the Texas legal profession?  Justice Brett Busby brings a compelling case for reforms on attorneys!

Texas desperately needs regulatory reform to increase the supply of high-quality, low-cost legal services so that Texans can afford to get legal representation to pursue their rights and defend their liberties.

As always, entrenched special interests want to protect their monopoly on providing legal services by keeping the supply low and their profits high.

Having experienced high prices for abysmally low performance, Grassroots America’s Board of Directors are keen to hear these reforms!  When citizens are fighting government abuses, finding trustworthy, affordable, effective, and uncompromised legal representation is quite a task.

Together, let’s learn how we can help Texans better defend their rights and liberties!

Unmasking 2025 Texas House Betrayers

Unmasking 2025 Texas House Betrayers

Twin Threats to your Family & Liberty –
Unmasking the Betrayers

There’s the danger you easily see – Leftist Democrats…

Then there’s the cloaked danger that’s harder to see – disguised in false unityRepublicans who join and enable Leftist Democrats.

Both are a danger to your family and your liberty.

Do you feel betrayed when Republicans in the US House and Senate fail to support the America First Agenda President Trump is trying hard to deliver?

We saw betrayal happen in Trump’s first term, which set the stage for the Biden Administration to move full-bore to destroy our country.  Even now, DC Republicans are moving at a snail’s pace to codify Trump’s Executive Orders into law. 

Do you feel betrayed when Chief Justice John Roberts sides with liberals on the US Supreme Court?

Facts prove that this betrayal also repeatedly happens in our Republican majority Texas State Legislature!

Republican agreement with the Democrats’ anti-family, anti-Liberty, Big Government policies can only accelerate the decline of Texas and America!

 See our new video about False Unity that Endangers Texas 

Grassroots America knows that Texas Republicans won’t tolerate Republican legislators who vote like Democrats if they can see irrefutable facts.

Good News! Grassroots America exposes the betrayal by providing the facts for you – all taken from public records and source-linked. 

We rip open the windows into your TX Legislature so that YOU can SEE for yourself.  We connect the dots the political class doesn’t want you to be able to see!

Do the votes of your Republican legislators line up with your values? Or do they disagree with conservative Republican legislators more than they ever disagree with the Democrats?

 We expose the betrayers.

Don’t tolerate Republican legislators who enable Democrats and don’t be “red teamed” into a fake unity that sells out Texans!

 Notice that we do not have this hidden behind a paywall.  

We are so thankful for the talent, expertise, and funding the Lord has provided to Grassroots America so that we can offer this to Texans at no charge.

Fighting for the Liberty that our Creator and God-fearing Founders intended,

Charlie Kirk, Salt & Light 

Charlie Kirk, Salt & Light 

The Assassination of Charlie Kirk
They Cannot Kill His Legacy!

Grassroots America thanks Almighty God for raising up Charlie Kirk to serve His purpose for this nation. We are thankful for Charlie’s strong, unflinching proclamation of witnessing faith in the Lord Jesus Christ as our eternal Savior.  

Since he was 19 years old, Charlie boldly voiced unwavering commitment to traditional American values – respect for the sanctity of all human life, active patriotism, steadfast commitment to the God-defined family, a return to fiscal responsibility, and a deep dedication to the advancement of liberty (opportunities for all and favoritism for none). 

We join our America First friends and colleagues across this nation in heartbroken mourning for the loss of Charlie – a fierce, winsome, happy warrior who ignited hope and action in the hearts of young Americans. 

Charlie stormed the culture with salt and light.  Charlie knew what time it was and thus acted with a bold sense of purpose and urgency.

In the wake of his assassination, we pray with great expectation that God will use this senseless murder to raise up millions more Charlie Kirks to speak against the culture of soul-eating darkness and lead young Americans into the glorious light of a life submitted to Creator God and lived out to that life’s fullest purpose. 

The evil one wants our movement to be discouraged, distracted, and lured away from our calling to stand for Truth.

Friends, we cannot compromise Truth, nor squander our time here in exchange for beguiling, pragmatic compromises with those who just want us to stop speaking Truth!   

What satan meant for evil, God will surely turn for good! 

Our prayers are with Charlie’s heartbroken wife, children, extended family, and the Turning Point USA family. May they feel the deep and abiding peace of Christ’s embrace as they awaken to the fact that Charlie Kirk is more alive today with his Savior than he ever was on this earth.

Today, Charlie Kirk heard Jesus say, “Well done, my good and faithful servant.” 

May we lean into our own calling with an earnest passion for Truth and a commitment to save Texas – and thus these United States – for the generations who follow us.

With love for you Texas patriots,

Continued taxpayer-funded salary and benefits payments to a convicted, incarcerated elected official?

Continued taxpayer-funded salary and benefits payments to a convicted, incarcerated elected official?

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE | September 4, 2025

CONTACT: JoAnn Fleming

GRASSROOTS AMERICA QUESTIONS CONSTITUTIONALITY OF  CONTINUED TAXPAYER-FUNDED SALARY & BENEFITS  TO A CONVICTED, INCARCERATED SMITH COUNTY CLERK – CALLS ON DISTRICT ATTORNEY JACOB PUTMAN AND THE SMITH COUNTY COMMISSIONERS COURT TO REVIEW THE TEXAS SUPREME COURT’S DEFINITION OF ‘GRATUITOUS’ PAYMENTS.

Tyler, Texas | September 5, 2025 – Today, statewide conservative citizen action committee Grassroots America – We the People (based in Smith County, TX) released its Thursday, September 4th letter to District Attorney Jacob Putman, Smith County Judge Neal Franklin, Commissioners Christina Drewry, John Moore, J. Scott Herod, and Ralph Carraway, Sr. requesting the immediate scheduling an official review of a Texas Supreme Court ruling as it relates to continued taxpayer-funded salary and benefits payments to a convicted, incarcerated elected official. The referenced SCOTX ruling addresses a three-part “test” to determine whether or not such payments are deemed “gratuitous” and therefore prohibited by law.

Article III, section 52(a) of the Texas Constitution prohibits the gratuitous payment of public funds for a private purpose. Grassroots America contends that continued taxpayer-funded salary and benefits for an elected official who is not working due to incarceration strongly appears to violate this provision.

Grassroots America’s Executive Director (and former Smith County Commissioner) JoAnn Fleming said, “The determination of whether or not a public expenditure to a convicted,  incarcerated elected official fits the definition of “gratuitous” belongs to the Smith County Commissioners Court – as the elected governing body of Smith County, Texas. This is not a decision that can be unilaterally made by one member of the Commissioners Court, the County Judge, and/ or the Human Resources Director.”

Fleming continued, “It is our understanding that the convicted Smith County Clerk chose jail time over probation, which removed all possibility of her being present to conduct the official statutory duties of the Office of Smith County Clerk; therefore, the public is clearly denied any “benefit” from her taxpayer-funded compensation.”

Fleming concluded, “The fact that the county clerk’s sentenced jail time is thirty days is immaterial – especially since Smith County taxpayers have assumed the entire cost of the investigation, her prosecution, trial, and jail housing.”
