Thursday, June 14 I am...
Margaritas with Senoritas
Friday, June 15 The first survey I took as a graduate student
Tribute to Women Luncheon was the Twenty Statements Test (T.S.T.), an
instrument used to measure self-concept,
administered in survey form, where
respondents are to give twenty responses to
the prompt “Who am I?” or “I am… .” It’s a short test using open-question
Table of Contents methodology in which the statements are to be grouped into five
categories: social groups and classifications, ideological beliefs, interests,
I am... 1 ambitions, and self-evaluations. I was already married with children, so
naturally my first two responses were wife and mother. I won’t get into
Keeping our Communities Safe 2
specifics on how I answered the remaining eighteen, but included in my
Tribute to Women Luncheon 2 “I am…” answers were conservative and Republican. I did not add any
modifiers, I simply stated “I am a Republican,” and “I am a conservative.’ If
Margaritas with Senoritas 3 the Texas Federation of Republican Women were to answer the survey,
as a group, we would answer the same way, no modifiers.
Convention has Finally Arrived 4
In an unending quest to categorize and divide the Republican Party,
Congratulations, TFRW! 5
the Democrats and all opposing teams of the Republican Party, love to
create colorful labels for Republicans. In the San Antonio Express News,
2018 Patron Clubs 6
you cannot get through one political piece without these descriptive and
2018 Patrons & Associate Patrons 7 divisive labels. Occasionally, I will scour the paper to see how creative
a writer can be in their quest to find a new classification for who I am
Spotlight on Kaci Sisk 8 politically. I am getting tired of playing defense in this game, and I have
decided that it is time for a little offence. We are going to start by saying,
President Trump is Winning at
“No” to labels.
Home and Abroad 9
Members of the Texas Federation of Republican, here is your challenge.
A Very Fun Summer Idea! 10
Every time you hear or see a member of the opposing team trying to
Finance, Treasury, and PAC Info define who you are politically, call them out on it. Say no to being sorted
You Need to Know 11 into a category that you did not define, say no to divisiveness, and say
yes to keep Texas Red.
June 2018 12
Go ahead, Team Blue, keep adding all the modifiers you want to
conservative or Republican. Simply stated, I am still and will always be a
conservative and a Republican.
