The RLC of Texas Board met and passed a Resolution (see below) affirming our support for the Defend the Guard mission, which includes our intentions to support this cause by taking action, and so we invite everyone to join us. We understand that everyone’s time is finite, and there are important local matters which catch our attention as activists, nevertheless I wish to ask you to join us on a cause that will cost you nothing financially, which you can do from anywhere that affords you good cell service. We’re joining with freedom fighters from across the County to phone bank for Defend The Guard.
You can jump on board by first taking about 90 seconds right now to fill in this very short form at: https://defendtheguard.us/phonebank
Diego Rivera, who is the Vice Chair for Austin RLC is leading RLC TX in mobilizing membership to get involved with this campaign. Diego was the driving force for the training we had in Round Rock, Texas. He’s been a hard-chargin freedom fighter for years now and so it was a great opportunity to learn from DOERS like him and the good people he brought in for that day, but ultimately I share with you that there was a point to all of that training, and that was to apply it towards our Mission. For I ask you friend, what good is a resolution or a day of political activism training if you don’t apply what you learn? Our members who organized the convention agreed and were similarly inspired by this propensity for taking action which we see espoused by Diego Rivera that they saw it fit recognize him with the first ever “Jeff Leblanc Torchbearer’s Award”

So we have our new project, to push for state based Defend The Guard legislation. Today the fight is in New Hampshire, and tomorrow maybe Michigan, the RLC Texas Board went ahead and expressed our support to just push it nationwide, knowing that it’ll pay dividends for expanding liberty in Texas as well. We are not asking you to stop your activism at the local level, but knowing that the Texas Legislature won’t hold another Regular Session for two years, getting our membership on board with the New Hampshire effort helps us to accomplish two key goals for us. It builds momentum for a cause we likely will be pushing for again in the Texas Legislature come January 2025, and it sharpens the Activism skills of all members who take the time to follow us and Diego in this campaign.
So sign up today, and then look out for follow up instructions from “Bring the Troops Home,” who will send you instructions on what to do next.
