We strongly endorse Don Huffines for Texas Comptroller

Candidate interviews now complete, we strongly endorse @DonHuffines for Texas Comptroller.

“Limited government, spending less, producing measurable results for taxpayers” are phrases that have disappeared from the lips of 99% of Texas Republican elected officials. The 89th Legislative Session continued the unhealthy pattern of wild spending to fund government growth and corporate welfare instead of sending the surplus back to Texans.

The Governors of Arkansas and Florida keep limited government at the policy and legislative forefront. We don’t hear or see any of that in Texas. It’s just the opposite.

It’s Time to Make LIMITED Government Great Again in Texas! A limited-government Comptroller who hates corruption, has a record of rooting it out, and has sent thieves to jail is exactly what Texas needs. Don Huffines has done that.

Turned loose to “DOGE” Texas government, Huffines can and will set a course-correcting standard from the office that is charged with certifying the state budget as balanced.

Huffines will put a bright spotlight on the creative bookkeeping and accounting gimmicks that keep state spending murky. He’s got the knowhow and the guts to push Texas toward responsible spending.

Don is uniquely qualified for the office of Comptroller. He doesn’t need the job. In fact, it will cost him millions in personal earnings to take on this mission, but his honed and proven free market executive management skills, business success, and decades of focus on tax and sound money issues are desperately needed in Texas.

Don Huffines loves Texas so much that he’s stepped up to Make Limited Government Great Again in Texas. We can’t wait to see him do it. #txlege

Father’s Day 2025 – Make Men Great Again!

Father’s Day 2025 – Make Men Great Again!

More than a decade ago, the late, great Rush Limbaugh warned about the “chickification” of men. Rush said feminizing males would rot our culture. It has.

It began with symbolism over substance – in sports, education, the arts, entertainment, government, and even in churches.

Feelings eclipsed Truth. Political Correctness murdered Common Sense.

The constant assault on masculinity, the absence of strong male role models, and drive-by fatherhood have made far too many men hesitant, indecisive, and hyper-focused on feelings rather than results. It has also created petty, spoiled, mean, self-idolizing drama queens out of far too many females. That’s what happens when people decide they’re smarter than God.

The ultimate result? Prolific transgender nuttery, evil grooming and gender butchery of children, radical kooks who believe in unlimited variations of “fluid” genders and that a human can certainly identify as a chipmunk if they want to – and you’d better respect that identity and go along with it.

Men are not automatically toxic or barbaric. Men can be those things, but so can women.

This Father’s Day, let’s make it a priority to encourage men to honor God by possessing the role He created them to fill. God’s plan is always best.

TX Senate: Stop Pushing Pension Increase for the TX Legislature!

TX Senate: Stop Pushing Pension Increase for the TX Legislature!

Grassroots America agrees with the TX House regarding judicial pay raises. The TX Senate is wrong to insist on raising legislative pensions!

The House version of SB 293 rightly delinks legislative pensions from the salaries of state district judges!

This linkage was WRONG from the beginning. For decades, increases to legislative pensions were hidden from the public because increases in legislative pensions were directly tied to increases in state district judicial salaries.

The Texas Senate and @LtGovTX should support transparency and pull down their amendment to force a pension increase to all legislators. Concur with the House and get this done!

Support Spiller Amendment to SB 8!

Support Spiller Amendment to SB 8!

TX is NOT assisting Trump/Homan ICE. To date, only 15 out of 254 TX County Sheriffs have signed up for the new Trump/Homan 287g Task Force. (Receipts at ice.gov/identify-and-arrest/287g

That’s why Grassroots America supports the Rep. @DavidSpillerTX amendment to SB 8 Border Enforcement Bill up for a vote today in the TX House. TX law enforcement MUST assist Pres. @realDonaldTrump in delivering his voter-mandated border security and deportation results.

In his State of the State address, Gov. Abbott declared, “Today, we have a President who will partner with Texas to deny illegal entry. To support that mission, I have ordered Texas state agencies to assist the Trump Administration with arresting, jailing, and deporting illegal immigrants. We must also require cities and counties across the state to fully cooperate with these efforts.”

The @DavidSpillerTX floor amendment is absolutely necessary if TX is going to achieve the cooperation Gov. Abbott cited. Otherwise, it’s just words. Texans are tired of words with no real follow-through.

@DavidSpillerTX amendment to SB 8. Get it across the finish line!

COVID affected all of us.

COVID affected all of us.

The experience affected some of us more than others. Exposed lies damaged confidence in public institutions. The grand social experiment unveiled tyranny for all to see.

Have we forgotten being separated from loved ones as they died in long-term care facilities, alone and away from caring family eyes and touch? 

Have we forgotten the “mom and pop” businesses closed by government mandates while Big Box stores remained open? 

Have we forgotten the lasting impact on children in their formative years?

Let’s remember together as we hear brave souls talk about the lingering effects of being the first in the COVID vaccine trials.

Censors tried to bury these gut-wrenching stories.  Now, you can help amplify their voices. Their stories are necessary to expose what should never be forgotten…the sure death march of tyranny. 

Host a watch party for the documentary “Follow the Silenced” in your area. Whether you’re skeptical or not, knowledge is power.  Hearing these brave souls may help you make wiser decisions for your family in the future.

Whiplash

Whiplash

Gov’t agency bureaucrats lie and facilitate a grand scheme to cheat taxpayers.

All documented…outraged politicians pound tables.

TX lawmakers have perfect chance to abolish the agency, shrink gov’t, cut spending, and send a message. What do they do? Pass a bill to “reform” the TX Lottery Commission, throwing it a lifeline! They were against the TX Lottery Commission until they were suddenly for it.

Whiplash anyone?

Time to Make Limited Gov’t Great Again.
