Conservativespeakerletterupda Honorable Members Texas House of Representatives Austin, Texas Dear Honorable Members and Members-Elect, The resounding victory by conservatives in Texas and around the nation on Election Day was not the result of any particular politician or group. It was the result of citizens rising up and making their voices clearly heard and it should be taken for precisely what it is: a mandate for conservative policy leadership. The victory of nearly two dozen new conservative Republican legislators reflects the mood of Texas voters on the state’s critical issues. It was a clarion call for conservative leadership in the Texas House – leadership that has been absent the past two years. This desire for conservative leadership must be reflected from the Office of the Speaker to every committee chairmanship. A change to a more conservative Speaker is in order. The voters who labored hard for this conservative majority expect it to diligently represent their conservative values. Texans voted with the expectation they would see meaningful change for their businesses and families. The same conservative voters who made this near-supermajority possible will be just as engaged in the months ahead, as they have been leading up to Victory Night. These voters will be watching and actively participating. We urge you take time to ask your constituents – the people who walked your precincts and made calls to their neighbors; the people who voted for you – what kind of person they want serving as the state’s third-ranking constitutional officer, and what kind of committee chairs they expect. It is their right to be involved and engaged in this important decision. We look forward to working with this reinvigorated conservative majority throughout the coming legislative session!

(Page 37)" and • DPT – Stands in opposition to the Right to Life. Urging the use of taxpayer funds for services including more abortions performed by Planned Parenthood. (Page 34) Border Security & Illegal Immigration • RPT - “Our immigration system must protect American working families and their wages, for citizens and legal immigrants alike, in a way that will improve the economy. (Page 25) Because “sanctuary cities” violate federal law and endanger their own citizens, they should not be eligible for federal funding. (Page 26) To keep our people safe, we must secure our borders, enforce our immigration laws, and properly screen refugees and other immigrants entering from any country. (Page 42)” • DPT – Calls for implementing President Obama’s open boarder policies — regardless of immigration status— expanding access to illegal immigrants to American taxpayer funded health care programs programs. (Page 17 & 18) 2nd Amendment Rights • RPT - We also oppose any effort to deprive individuals of their right to keep and bear arms without due process of law.
