Sine Die 2019

If you are going to sit, then sit. If you stand, then stand, but whatever you decide to do, do it boldly and do not waver. Those wise words once spoken to me pretty much sum up how I feel about the 86th Texas Legislature. Let me back the train up just a tad and start...

Now that I have had a few hours to decompress and reflect on the Freedom Fight, I can without hesitation express how proud I am of our movement and the unity and selflessness shown by our volunteers and members this week. My vision for the event was simple yet...
Dark Places

Dark Places

I am weary. Today I received some very hard news for my family and I am so tempted to throw out ALL efforts to participate in this life. Caring beyond my family is a real struggle. At least, I would like to be in a bubble with my family and give no more cares for the...

Rep. Wu Is At It Again

Rep. Wu Is At It Again

Remember Rep. Gene Wu is at it again: attacking medical privacy by authoring HB 1966, a stepping stone bill that would easily lead to mandated campus reporting for child care facilities. Here’s an excerpt: “A child-care facility may provide notice on the...
Please Pass the Napkins

Please Pass the Napkins

Nothing Controversial About It – We Work for You

Today I’d like to piggyback off of last month’s series of what some might call “controversial” communications. Some called our social media posts politically divisive, but I jokingly called them my ruffling-of-feathers, not-aiming-to-be-popular...

Criminalizing Trick-or-Treating or Signs of A Larger Problem?

I opened up my computer this morning to see a story about a new city ordinance that would prohibit children over the age of 12 from participating in any trick-or-treat activities this year. This stopped me in my tracks as all I could think of was my teenage daughter...
