The program will begin at 1 p.m., following a complimentary lunch that starts at 12:30 p.m. Terri Hall founded the San Antonio TOLL Party in 2005 as a taxpayer revolt when she learned the Texas Dept of Transportation (TxDOT) was to convert her only access to San Antonio, Hwy 281, into a tollway, which is a double tax to charge taxpayers again for what they've already built and paid for. When she saw this shift to tolling our existing freeways happening nationwide, Terri started a statewide group called Texans Uniting for Reform and Freedom or Texas TURF in 2007. She's a homeschool mom of ten turned citizen activist, and Terri has rallied her fellow Texans to stop this runaway taxation, as well as the Trans Texas Corridor-style foreign takeover of our public highways. Such monopolies over our infrastructure result in tolls over $3/mile to use our public roads. Terri has worked as a citizen activist in nine sessions of the Texas Legislature, spoken at rallies in Washington D.C., organized marches in Austin, spoken at national conferences, appeared on the Lou Dobbs Show, CNN's American Morning, MSNBC and Fox News nationally, and done local radio & TV interviews all over Texas. She also wrote for the Examiner, was a citizen blogger for the San Antonio Express-News, and continues to have many columns published by news outlets nationwide. Texas TURF is an all-volunteer, all grassroots organization committed to defending property rights and our freedom to travel. They helped repeal the Trans Texas Corridor, defeated dozens of bad bills in the Legislature, advocated against the Left’s anti-car agenda, and passed protections against tolling existing roads among other reforms. She invites you to learn more and to join the fight at www.TexasTURF.org. Kathy Hussey, Vice President of Programs Sara's Shorts Pray & Continue the Fight! Before the election I was writing my article for this newsletter: Reality is Here!!

Pray & Continue the Fight!

Before the election I was writing my article for this newsletter:

Reality is Here!! For someone who is usually overly wordy, I only have two important words for Star Republican Women and actually four letters each. The order cannot be underestimated: Nov. 2, 2022. . . PRAY & VOTE! Stay in HIS grip!!! Fight the fight with compassion, and I will see you on the other side. PRAY & VOTE!!!

One day after the election, my message is almost the same: Pray and continue the fight against Critical Race Theory and sexualization of our children through graphics in libraries and schools. We cannot defeat Babylonian culture but we can influence Babylonian politics on our knees and at the polls. You did that Llano County!
