Statement on Slaton

Statement on Slaton

May 8, 2023

For Immediate Release

With deep disappointment and great sadness, the Board of Directors of Grassroots America – We the People PAC, after having read the published May 6th report of the Texas House General Investigating Committee into the matter of State Representative Bryan L. Slaton, calls on Representative Slaton to immediately resign.  

The report detailing sworn statements by direct witnesses, actions of obstruction, an utter lack of exculpatory evidence provided by Mr. Slaton or his attorney, and no evidence of remorse, leaves us no other choice than to conclude that Mr. Slaton knowingly violated his oath of office, House rules, and labor laws. Evidence also strongly suggests that Slaton committed offenses under Texas law by providing alcohol to minors, by abusing his office, and by committing acts of official oppression.

A 45-year-old married man with children sexually pursuing a 19-year-old woman in his employ, while knowingly plying her and another underage woman with alcohol is predatory, irresponsible, and disgraceful.

Our hearts are broken for our dear friends – Mr. Slaton’s sweet, devoted parents – for his wife, children, the constituents and supporters who placed their faith and trust in Mr. Slaton, and his victim and her family.  We pray that Mr. Slaton heeds the multiple calls for his resignation, sparing the Texas House from spending time on his expulsion rather than the legislative work for the people of Texas. He should apologize and commence the road to true repentance before God – a painful but sure path that leads to forgiveness and healing.

TX Freedom Caucus Releases Priorities

TX Freedom Caucus Releases Priorities

TX Freedom Caucus released 10 legislative priorities while TX Senate & House GOP Caucuses are deafeningly silent- yet again. 

 JoAnn Fleming, Executive Director, Grassroots America – We the People

Do you ever wonder why MOST elected officials exhibit a casual, not-in-a-hurry attitude about the state of our culture and nation?

Meanwhile, you scratch your head, maybe swear a little, and yell at what passes for “news,” while experiencing the warp speed unraveling of Liberty, the jeering ridicule of your traditional beliefs and values, and reports of deviant satan worship on national television.  You fear what the future might hold for your children and grandchildren. You reel at rising property taxes, grocery, gas, and electricity prices and the instability in your retirement fund.

But do you hear a loud, incessant roar to stop any of it from the people you hired at the ballot box? Or are they too busy taking selfies with adoring fans, each other, and laughing it up down in Austin?

The Texas Freedom Caucus of your state legislature released their list of ten priorities with details. We’re sharing their press release with you below. We hope they are successful in their stated quest to defend and advance Texas-style freedom, but we wait to see how their written legislative priorities translate into action.

Will they really FIGHT for these priorities? Will they listen to the conservative grassroots? Will they kill bad legislation or stand back and let it happen?

Meanwhile, yet again, the Republican Caucuses of the Texas Senate and House have not released any priorities. They don’t have a list of bad laws to repeal.  They don’t have a unified written plan to restrain government, stop evil child predators, outlaw sex change butchery on kids, ban WOKE, ensure election integrity, medical freedom, grid security or border control.  Why? 

Where oh where is the majority Red Team
we hired at the ballot box
in November to run the show in Austin? 

Do you know the legislative priorities of your State Senator and State Representative? If you don’t, you better start asking.  How?  It’s simple and quick. Just go to grassrootspriorities.com and send them a personal question from the boss – YOU!

Your silence heard by elected officials = approval.  

Do not be silent!
