Blog
Since October 9, 2021, Jennifer, Susan and Bill have written regular blog postings on the dallasgop.org website. Since all of their postings are no longer being published on that site by the new DCRP team, we are republishing those posts written by those three authors (all are now members of the DCR United team) to provide continuity. Going forward, new blog postings published after June 15, 2024, will be shown here.
The E-Pollbook Saga Continues
Here we go again . . . You may recall my December 9, 2022, blog titled “It Is Time to Get Rid of Black Box Voting” (click to read). You may also recall the issues we had on the November 8, 2022, Election Day voting with the E-Pollbooks surging at the close of the voting polls – far in excess of the number of voters who checked in at the locations. History is repeating itself.
Read MoreForgive and Forget
These are words that we live by as people of Faith. But these are words that too many of us forget to live by politically. Forgiving and forgetting should be at the foremost of our minds today, after suffering through the impeachment trial of Attorney General Ken Paxton. Our Dallas County Republican Party Executive Committee condemned the State House impeachment procedure – for good reason. Impeachment should be an extreme remedy and not tossed around lightly as we have seen too often as of late. To push an impeachment through a legislative body in a few hours at the end of a long legislative session on the heels of criticism of the House Speaker’s sobriety on the floor does not seem to me to be prudent. Let’s be honest, it just looks like retaliation.
Now we move on. As Republicans protecting the great State of Texas, we must unite and move on. We cannot allow Democrats, the media, and even ourselves to get in the way of uniting all conservatives across our county, state and country.
Read MoreTexas SB14 Passes In Texas House
What a huge success for Texas children! Republican Party Legislative Priority "Ban Gender Modification" in the form of SB 14 passes the House 87- 56 in spite of huge protests in the House Gallery, which delayed it twice. Friday, May 12, 2023. This day should be respected as the day on which an extremely courageous Democrat, Shawn Thierry stood up for children all over Texas and stood strong against the horrors of surgically or medically mutilating children who do not have the developed maturity to make decisions of this nature.
Read MoreWe constantly hear cries that the Democrats are always united and Republicans are seen as bickering. In some ways that is true. It is nothing new and has been going on for many years. You have all heard me say “The best thing about Republicans is that they are each fiercely independent, and the worst thing about Republicans is that they are each fiercely independent.” On this we can probably all agree. But, as we embark on what is likely to be a lively Republican Presidential Primary, we need to reflect on why, at the end of the day, we must be united. And, that is to preserve our Republic, freedom and the American culture. We, as Republicans are in a fight to preserve our way of life in our country.
Read MoreAll Americans Must Stand!
This blog is not a Republican blog. It is not a conservative blog. It is an American blog. The weaponization of the legal system to advance any political agenda, let alone a radical political agenda, is not just political persecution – it is un-American. Those who hate President Trump, hate American values. They hate you, and they hate me. They hate patriotism – and they do not care whether you are Republican, Democrat or Independent. They have an agenda.
Read MoreFor the first time ever the Dallas County Republican Party is openly committed to Local Elections for Municipal and School Board races. It all begins at the local level! We've gathered a core group of candidates all across Dallas County for which we are proudly supporting to reverse the liberal stranglehold on the City of Dallas and surrounding Dallas County.
This is not a one-election miracle enfolding, but a focused effort to make a difference over however long it takes. We choose to stand and fight! Our website DallasGOP now reaches over 50,000 new Republicans every month to get the latest information to Dallas County and to educate our voters on upcoming elections, events, training, candidates, precinct chairs and getting out the vote. It all depends on YOU! Please VOTE during the May 6 Election.
Read MoreEvery Vote Counts - Don't Waste Yours
We have all heard the saying: “Every Vote Counts.” And, it could not be more true than in local municipal and school board elections. Why? Because very few people vote, making your vote even more powerful. In the last municipal election cycle throughout Dallas County, less than 7% of the registered voters actually voted. LESS THAN 7%! While that does not seem possible, it is the reality. And of those who voted, Democrats show up on a much larger scale than Republicans.
Given the critical importance of local elections, it is very hard to understand the apathy of any voters, let alone conservative voters. The decisions of our City Council, particularly in our weak Mayor system, affect our daily lives more than many of the national issues we hear about in the media. In fact, many of the landmark federal policies in this country have emanated from the local level.
We must be active at the local level to hold out elected officials accountable, stop policies we do not agree with, and create the change that we want not only at home, but throughout the country.
