Early Voting Starts Next Week

Tuesday, February 20th

I hope everyone had a lovely Valentines Day! In addition to celebrating our loved ones, mid-February also means that the start of early voting is right around the corner - this coming Tuesday to be exact! So let's ensure we are ready to cast our votes! And for those tirelessly working for your candidates, let's hope the weather remains as delightful as it has been.

Our fabulous Secretary of State Jane Nelson offers a wonderful hub of information for Texas elections at votetexas.gov. While gearing up to vote, let's also prepare for convention season kicking off next month. The RPT provides some excellent resources for you (click here) and of course, let's not overlook our local resources either. Precinct and SD/County conventions are all organized at the grassroots level, so remember to touch base with your County Party. 

Wishing you all a fantastic week ahead, filled with voting plans. Stay tuned for more TAD Talks and Calls to Action coming your way soon!

Monday, February 19th

We're excited to announce the upcoming TFRW Day of Action on Monday, February 19th, and we need your passion and dedication more than ever!

This year, we're making history. Did you know Hispanics are now the majority? This is a pivotal moment for our community, and the Texas Federation of Republican Women is at the forefront, championing a massive Hispanic outreach effort.

Here’s what we have lined up:

·   We’re launching social media ads in 154 Texas Counties.

·   We’re set to send over 500,000+ texts to warmly welcome Hispanics to the Republican Party.

But to make this a success, we need you! This Day of Action is not just about outreach; it's about unity and showing the strength of Texas women in moving our great state forward.

Join us from 5:45 to 7:00 p.m. CST as we are coming together to support this crucial initiative. Whether you’re a seasoned volunteer or new to the movement, your contribution is valuable.

Ready to be part of the change? Sign up on our website and let’s show that together, we can keep Texas Red.

"Elderly Man With A Poor Memory"

Americans should be very alarmed by the release of the special counsel report showing Joe Biden willfully broke the law. If Biden is too cognitively impaired to be charged with a crime, he is not fit to serve a second term.

What you need to know:

• This week, a special counsel found Biden “willfully retained and disclosed classified materials” — including classified documents related to national security and “sensitive intelligence sources and methods” — in his home, garage, and office for decades.
• But in a classic example of the double standard of justice, Biden won’t be charged because he’s a “well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory.”
• The special counsel’s report is an abject disaster for Biden.
• According to the report, Biden “did not remember when he was vice president” or “when his son Beau died,” and exhibited “diminished faculties” and “significant limitations” during his interview with the special counsel.
• The special counsel said Biden’s handling of the classified documents — often found in “damaged” and “opened” containers — “present serious risks to national security.”
• During Thursday night's press conference Biden confused the leader of Egypt with the leader of Mexico.
• He called the response to the horrific October 7 attack on Israel, "over the top."
• Meanwhile, Biden — who has repeatedly said he bears no responsibility for those 50 years of malfeasance — celebrated the double standard.

The bottom line:

The special counsel’s report shows we have a two-tiered justice system. Voters know Joe Biden is unfit to serve in the highest office in the land. His mental decline is both sad and alarming, and putting a ‘sympathetic,’ ‘elderly’ man who can’t remember major events from his own life back in the Oval Office would undoubtedly make America less safe.

Biden Budges As Terrorist Persist

Under Joe Biden’s failed presidency, terrorists in the Middle East have grown increasingly emboldened.

What you need to know:

• Four years ago today, Biden said that he would not have ordered the strike on Iranian terrorist leader Soleimani.
• Biden also opposed the raid on Osama bin Laden in 2011.
• Now, with Biden as president, terrorists are taking Biden at his word and increasingly taking advantage of his weakness.
• Just last week, three U.S. soldiers were killed and more than 40 were injured in a drone attack launched by Iran-backed militants.
• 16 days prior to this attack, Biden said he “delivered the message to Iran” and “they know not to do anything.”
• Despite Biden telling Iran to stop aiding Houthi attacks on shipping, the Iranian-backed pirates continue to severely disrupt trade in the Red Sea.
• When Biden took office, Iran had $4 billion in foreign reserves – now, Iran’s foreign reserves are above $70 billion, freeing them to fund terror across the Middle East.
• The Biden administration has failed to limit Iran’s ability to fund their proxies.
• Iran is a major financial backer of Hamas, which massacred over 1,200 Israelis in October.
• Just days before the October 7th attack, National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan brazenly claimed, “the Middle East region is quieter today than it has been in two decades.”
• Biden has pursued a policy of appeasement with Iran.
• In September, the Biden administration released $6 billion in ransom to Iran in a lopsided prisoner exchange.
• The administration knew there was a “high risk” doing so could boost Hamas, but did it anyway.
• Biden was hellbent on rejoining the disastrous Iran nuclear deal.
• Biden has never taken responsibility for his exit from Afghanistan, saying he makes “no apologies” and has even claimed that his deadly withdrawal was a success.
• As recently as a few months ago, the Biden administration lauded the botched withdrawal as “the correct policy choice.”

The bottom line:

America is weaker with Joe Biden as our president. In November, voters will head to the polls and elect Republicans up and down the ballot who will restore America’s standing on the world stage and stand up to our enemies.
