Get Out There And Live

While the temperatures in August are hotter than Satan's armpit, we hope you are packing these last few weeks of freedom with as much fun as you can. According to Marcus Tullius Cicero, freedom is the power to live as one wishes... so get out there and live.

If you haven't heard the big news yet, the LPTexas chair Whitney Bilyeu is now the chair for the National Libertarian Party. Her calm, focused leadership has driven LPTexas to the top of the state affiliates, and she will be leading our National party into greatness as well. Congratulations Whitney, we are all so proud of you!

Lots of great news is packed in this newsletter, and be sure to read all the way to the end for some laughs.

Celebrate Independence Day, Everyday

“You’d think we’d be freer,” I said…

Over the weekend, a fellow Libertarian (from Louisiana) was praising LPTexas and commenting about how Texas (the state and its people) has always been regarded as a beacon of liberty. The spirit of Texas is one of rebellion, revolution, individualism, self-reliance, prosperity, and freedom. So…you’d think we’d be freer.

Independence Day each year is merely a reminder of all we have yet to do. We can’t take days off. We have to work, and fight, everyday toward liberty for all people all the time.

Just as election day is Day 0 for those of us doing the work of a political party, July 4th signifies the start of another round of battles for liberty in Texas. It is a time for banding together to promote the principles that unite us. It is a time for standing side-by-side against the authoritarian principles that unite our opposition. It is a time for recruiting Libertarian candidates to amplify the Libertarian voice.

I do hope our staff, volunteers, officers, executive committee members, and county affiliate leaders enjoyed some well-deserved R&R this past weekend. I am excited to see whose fuses were lit, what sparks were ignited, and how much freer we can get.

*By clicking monthly donation, you understand this is a continuous monthly contribution that will auto renew every year. You may cancel anytime.

Every dollar you donate to this fund will go straight to maintaining an active, full-time, libertarian presence at the Capitol. We can’t win if we don’t show up.

LPTexas News: April 2021

Lobbying Tells Texas to Stop Robbing Us

Hello LPTexans,

Well, the lifted mask mandate came and went, and guess what? Cases have been dropping daily. Turns out people don't need to be forced into determining what is best for their safety.

So now we turn to the big issues happening in the Texas Statehouse. We are being faced with numerous ballot access and gun control laws that we need to fight. There are also property tax and cannabis bills that we need to support. How do we do that? Lobbying!

Citizen lobbying is one of the strongest avenues we have to positively affect our freedoms, and all it requires is an investment of your time and gas money to get to the capital. 

Check out the funny, informative report on last month's lobbying day. It will give you an idea of what lobbying is like for the first time and tips to make the most of your visit. Read about it here.

Because of that great success, LPTexas is placing renewed focus and vigor behind the lobbying faction of our party. Join us! Our next lobbying day on April 15th, tax day! RSVP here.

Interested in learning more. Below we have a range of email options that will allow you to hear from LPTexas as much or as little as you would like.

1. Dinner Only - $30
   This gets you appetizers, an entrée, and a drink ticket. HOWEVER, your name goes in the hat! If your name is picked, attendees will have the chance to bid on a song for you to sing. You are agreeing to sing if you are bid on OR to pay the amount bid to get out of singing. 
2. Remote Participation Song Slot - $100
   Not able to attend, but still want to support LPTexas and be a star? You can remotely perform for the crowd from the comfort of your home and at a time convenient to you. Pull up the song you want to sing, and we will make sure you are seen! (Great option for our out of state friends!)
3. Dinner and a Song Slot - $130
   With this ticket you get entrance, appetizers, an entrée of your choice, a drink ticket, AND you will have a karaoke slot with the song of your choice. Your name will not go in the karaoke auction hat, and you will be supporting LPTexas with your voice!
4. Dinner and Immunity - $130
   With this ticket you get entrance, appetizers, an entrée of your choice, a drink ticket, AND you will be immune from the karaoke auction. Just sit back, relax, and enjoy the performances.

Citizen Lobbying At The Texas State Capitol
Posted by Kasie Dailey · March 30, 2021 7:35 AM

It's a good day to be a plumber in Texas. In the wake of last week's freezing temperatures, demand for plumbing professionals is high, and the supply is low. If you are a plumber in Texas or the surrounding states, you can be sure of a full calendar; and for those of us in need of a plumber, we can be sure of extended wait times.

This Special Project fund has been established for the purposes of collecting direct donations for defending legal challenges brought forward against LPTexas and its candidates for elections. We appreciate everyone's commitment to fighting for voter choice in Texas.
