Beyond the Speaker’s Race

Folks ask what we think about the TX Speaker’s race. We’re focused on solutions, not on somebody’s laser pointer. We aren’t cats!

Open letter to Republican Texas State Representatives,

The people of Texas need you to step up with wisdom, courage, and purpose to solve long-running problems that remain unsolved after more than two decades of effort under Republican trifecta control of state government.

It will take maturity to put personal preferences and hurt feelings aside to reach unity on an issue-by-issue basis. We are all for “party unity,” but unity without principled accountability is like putting water in a bucket riddled with holes.  For the good of Texas, we ask you to work together to plug those accountability holes.

GRASSROOTS PRIORITIES

We’re Excited About Our Turbo-charged Accountability Tool!

Our GrassrootsPriorities.com website has expanded from an activist tool which allows you to quickly and effectively communicate with Texas legislators and statewide officials into a transparency tool that gives you the ability to easily do your own research into the 2023 88th Texas Legislative Session!
 
We give you (and your organization) the ability to investigate legislation, legislators, committees, funders of legislators, and lobbyist activity.
 
On each page or tab selected from the top of the menu, you will find a “How to Use” video along with a “Got Questions About This Page?” link in the top right-hand corner.

This citizen empowering accountability tool is something Executive Director and co-founder JoAnn Fleming has long wanted for the conservative grassroots. This is a self-governance tool that can help you verify what legislators and campaign consultants say!
 
After so many years working alongside many of you, JoAnn is very thankful that we can offer this amazing tool to you at no charge.  Note that it isn’t behind a paywall, and no super-secret access code is required. We’ve made it easy to access and are now making it easy for you to learn how to use it! 
 
Our prayer is that you will use this transparency tool to 1) discover for yourselves which Republicans are really TransPublicans (party-confused; red jersey elephants who govern like donkey drag queens) and 2) hold your legislators and political consultants accountable. 
 
Seek, find, share Truth!
