What a wonderful Republican National Convention! It was so filled with patriotism and American optimism that it could have been renamed the “Renewal of Nationalism” Convention. Viewers would be hard-pressed not to feel a sense of national pride after just one evening, but they got four! This was a great reminder of exactly what TFRW members are working for. In two short months, this will all be over; the election cycle, the campaign calls, and if we are unsuccessful, the end...

Calling all members! We need all hands on deck! Convention is behind us and early voting is just about 10 weeks away. Hopefully, you’ve been working with us over the last year to register Texas voters and participate in phone banking for special elections across the nation, so you know that TFRW is a full-time, year-round organization.

WHAT COVID-19 HAS TAUGHT US: Wash your hands…with soap! We cannot depend on foreign governments for necessities— like medicine and medical equipment. We will start “Buying American” again, and that’s great for...

“April showers bring May flowers.” The increased handwashing protocols and other factors in April have slowed the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic enough that President Trump has announced the transition to reopening our nation to business and commerce in May. While a return to “normal life” won’t happen overnight, the grit and optimism inherent to Texans is certain to make us one of the first states to rebound. With this in mind, TFRW is moving forward with our Board of Directors meetings...

This article is NOT about the Coronavirus – You’re welcome! It IS about the positive impact we can make in our state and nation. Those who know me well know that I’m a big believer in finding the silver lining in every situation. It’s a choice I make because being “Polly Positive” isn’t my natural inclination. I’m what I like to call a “self-made optimist.” When the media is focused on gloom and doom and no one seems to have anything...
