Treniss J. Evans III lives in Canyon Lake and was a participant in the events at the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021. He is an Associate Member of CLRW and last November, Carol Little, our former Webmaster, took a short video of him. I have his permission to present it to you as a teaser - he is scheduled to be the Guest Speaker at our November CLRW Business Meeting. I highly recommend you also take the time to peruse his website, CONDEMNEDUSA.com.

CLRW's July Guest Speaker was Robyn Stewart, Manager of Joint Base San Antonio Army Fisher House at Brooke Army Medical Center.
WOW! Robyn loves her job and it showed during her presentation. It was wonderful to have her introduce our new members on the purpose of the Fisher Houses in assisting our military members and families with lodging during medical emergencies.

On July 21, CLRW President, Jeanne Slupik, and CLRW Armed Forces Chair, Melinda Rapp, spent funds donated by the CLRW members to purchase needed supplies for the Joint Base San Antonio Army Fisher House at Brooke Army Medical Center.
We don't buy anything that is not on their "needs" list. Today we bought cleaning supplies, batteries, storage bags, garbage bags, toilet paper, paper towels and sugar.
Robyn Stewart, Manager, Army Fisher House, was thrilled with our donations. It was another great day to help those who serve.

Texas Grocery Store Tycoon Sponsors Drag Queen Shows for Kids

Sebastian Castro
July 13, 2022
Charles Butt, the billionaire heir and CEO of the Texas grocery empire H-E-B, sponsored a recent “family friendly” drag show and spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on anti-school choice campaigns.
In June, H-E-B sponsored an LGBT “pride” event in downtown Austin. The event, called Rainbow on the Creek, included a drag queen story hour, a “family-friendly all ages” drag show performed by a group called the Hydrated Queer Kitties, and a pride parade. A Libs of TikTok tweet showed the scantily clad performers dancing sensually in front of parents and their children.
The event’s website says, “The celebration will include 25+ [activities] by LGBTQIA+ nonprofits and partners, a Queer BIPOC and Latinx artisan & craft market, gender-affirming care & sexual health resources, and many more activities for the whole family.”
But this is not the only controversial cause Butt has supported.
One of Mr. Butt’s influential anti-school choice operations comes in the form of The Charles Butt Public Education Political Action Committee, which has made donations to 22 political campaigns that oppose school choice. The PAC has received $750,000 in contributions from Butt.
Of the 22 campaign donation recipients, 16 are Republican candidates, including Texas House Speaker Dade Phelan, State Rep. Glenn Rogers, and Comptroller Glenn Hegar (who received a combined total $120,000). Of the 16 Republican candidates, Phelan and six others have been endorsed by the Texas State Teachers Association (part of the National Education Association, the largest teachers union). The TSTA also currently endorses Democrat gubernatorial candidate Robert Francis “Beto” O’Rourke.
Butt has also heavily funded the Raise Your Hand Texas organization, which opposes school choice and advocates for spending more tax money on the current public system, as well as The Charles Butt Foundation, which also opposes school choice.
However, Butt’s campaigns have placed him at odds with a growing number of parents across the state. A 2022 Morning Consult poll revealed that 76 percent of Texas parents would support directly funding students instead of the current government system.
Additionally, a record number of Texas families are now choosing to homeschool their children. The Texas Home School Coalition reports a near tripling of homeschooled students between April and October 2020 (from 4.5-12.3 percent of all Texas students) making for a total of 750,000 homeschoolers in Texas alongside 250,000 students in Texas private schools.
The popularity of school choice among families and grassroots activists grew significantly during the COVID lockdowns, when parents across the nation were able to look more closely at the dysfunctional government monopoly system and what schools were teaching their children. As Texas Scorecard has frequently chronicled, many decried the troubling and sexually explicit curricula and racist ideologies taught in their children’s classrooms.
With the Republican Party of Texas selecting school choice as a legislative priority for the upcoming 2023 state legislative session, parents and citizens are eager to see how the Republican-controlled Texas Legislature will respond.

Greetings from Historic Fort Sam Houston, Joint Base San Antonio!
In collaboration with the San Antonio Blues Society and Sam’s Burger joint, we are hosting a Military Appreciation Night at Sam's Burger Joint in San Antonio, TX, on Wednesday, the 27th of July 2022. Sam's Burger Joint is San Antonio's premier Live Music venue and Burger Joint. Sam’s Burger Joint and Music Hall is known to both artists and appreciative fans alike as the best music room in San Antonio. With an excellent sound system, an unobstructed view, great food and a diverse line-up of acts, it’s not hard to see why it has that reputation.
We are asking members of the local community, to include local DoD Civilians and local Veterans groups, to sponsor young active duty service members by purchasing a ticket in advance and donating it to a Soldier, Airman, Sailor or Marine stationed at Joint Base San Antonio (JBSA). These service members are a long way from home and are here in San Antonio for training & certification prior to shipping out to their permanent duty stations around the world. Many have less than one year in service and are experiencing being away from home for the first time. We’re working with units on Joint Base San Antonio to try and get these young service men and women out of the barracks for a night. By demonstrating our appreciation for their service, and showing these young service men and women they are welcomed by our community, we hope to boost their morale and help prevent suicides.
NOTE: Advance Tickets are only $10. We are not asking for any cash donations, only that your organization sponsor a Soldier or Airman by providing them with a donated ticket to the event. If it's within your budget, you or your individual members can sponsor more than one Service member.
If anyone would like to sponsor an active duty service member, you can buy a ticket online, then send the PDF file/Ticket Receipt to: Blues_Like_It_Usta_Wuz@outlook.com. We will ensure the ticket you’ve purchased is given to a Soldier or Airman so they can attend the event on the 27th of July 2022.
Organizations and individuals can sponsor up to eight (8) Soldiers here at JBSA, (the maximum amount of tickets you can buy at one time). Here's the link:

Also, if your organization would like your logo displayed on the large banner showing our sponsors, please send me an image of your logo no later than the 20th of July so that we have time to include it on the banner.
I am your Point of Contact for any questions.
Thank you.

Canyon Lake Republican Women came ready for a parade today! Paula Schuldheisz, our "Float Master" came prepared for all contingencies - all we had to do was show up and help! As you can tell by the photos, we came to have fun and we did!
Many thanks to Paula, Beth Bready, Pam Smith, Nita King, Carolyn Besselman, Janet Blum, Marsha Cooper, Kathy Beam, Becky Swindal, and Jeanne Slupik for braving the heat and showing all how to have a good time!
The crowd was great and they loved us!
We had to include a photo of the Comal Sheriff's Office Honor Guard - great volunteers who also support our Freedom Walk on 9-11. Our heroes today were Jerry Besselman, Jim Hynes, and John Schuldheisz - the best "go to guys" ever! We are so thankful for our supportive husbands!

Comal County to restrict certain fireworks due to drought conditions
‘Skyrockets with sticks’ or ‘Missiles with fins’ banned beginning June 24
Due to extreme drought conditions, Comal County is
restricting the use of certain fireworks.
Comal County Commissioners adopted an order Tuesday that bans “skyrockets with sticks” or “missiles with fins”
in unincorporated areas of Comal County.
The order goes into effect June 24, a news release said.
“We don’t want to limit what can be sold or used during upcoming celebrations,” said Comal County Fire Marshal Kory Klabunde. “Due to the extreme drought and severe fire danger the county is experiencing and for the safety of our citizens and their property, we are restricting the sale and use of rockets with sticks and missiles with fins
until the drought conditions no longer exist.”
A violation of the order is considered a Class C misdemeanor. The order remains in effect until the Texas Forest Service determines drought conditions no longer exist in Comal County.
For more information about the order,
contact the Comal County Fire Marshal’s office at 830-643-374

CLRW is ready for the July 4th Parade! We have all the volunteers needed for the float, but would love to see you on the parade route. This parade is in Startzville, on the southside of Canyon Lake. The key intersection is FM 2673 and FM 3159. Find a spot to park your vehicle (most back in and face the route), and wave like crazy when our float comes by! The parade starts at 10am, a change from years past so don't be late!
Legislative Priorities for 2023-2024
Protect our Elections: Restore felony penalties and enact civil penalties for Election Code violations, which shall be enforceable by any Texas jurisdiction, including the Texas Attorney General. Require citizenship verification of each voter. Restrict the distribution of mail-in ballots to only disabled, military, and citizens that are out of state. Reduce the time allowed for early voting, and eliminate the three-day gap between early voting and election day. Establish closed primaries in Texas. As technology evolves, we encourage the passage of legislation that ensures the security of our elections.
• Ban Democrat Chairs: To ensure all legislative Republican priorities are given a fair opportunity to become law, the Republican-controlled Texas legislature shall adopt a rule that would end the practice of awarding committee chairmanships to Democrats.
• Abolish Abortion in Texas: Abolish abortion by ensuring the right to life and equal protection of the laws to all preborn children from the moment of fertilization, including adopting effective tools to ensure the enforcement of our laws to protect life when district attorneys fail to do so.
• Stop Sexualizing Texas Kids: Repeal Texas Penal Code “Obscenity Exemption” 43.24(c), which allows children access to harmful, explicit, or pornographic materials and 43.25(f)(2 3), which allows sexual performance by a child. In addition, prohibit teaching, exposure, and/or discussion of sexual matters (mechanics, feelings, orientation, or “gender identity” issues), and prohibit use or provision of related books and other materials using criminal, civil or other enforcement measures.
• Ban Gender Modification of Children: Texas must ban chemical castration, puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, genital mutilation, bodily alteration surgery, psychological/social transitioning, and any other methods applied to or performed on children.
• Secure the Border and Protect Texans: Texas shall immediately deny all taxpayer funded services and subsidies to illegal aliens. We call upon the Governor to assert his duty under Article 1, Section 10, Clause 3 of the US Constitution to declare an invasion on our Texas border and do everything in his power to protect Texans from this invasion. The legislature shall direct the Governor to enter into an Interstate Compact with one or more states for Border Security.
• Parental Rights and Educational Freedom: Parents are the primary decision makers for their children in all matters. This authority shall be protected as an inalienable right. This shall include the choice of schooling where the money follows the child without strings attached, and enforcement and penalty mechanisms when parents' rights are violated. The right to education shall be free from any social theories.
• Defend Our Gun Rights: Protect our gun rights against threats, such as red flag laws, federal, state or other restrictions, by strengthening and preserving our inalienable rights under the second amendment to protect our life, liberty and property. The Texas Legislature should eliminate gun-free zones.
These priorities were chosen by over 5,000 voting delegates at the state convention, June 13-18 in Houston Texas. Delegates were presented with a list of 15 topics selected by the Legislative Priorities Committee after a comprehensive review of resolutions passed at the precinct and senate district levels of the convention process. Delegates were allowed to vote on 8 topics, which became the official Legislative Priorities of the Republican Party of Texas.

Our CLRW Community Relations Chair, Diane Schaule, has forwarded to me information from the New Braunfels Community Foundation that lists the ways we can assist the Uvalde Community. This is an excellent resource so please pass it on! Our Texas AG has already had to send out a warning message to be aware of fraudsters trying to profit from our goodwill. Stay safe and aware!
Prayers for Uvalde and Our Nation"As a former teacher, a mother and grandmother with grands in school, I’m heartbroken," said NFRW President Eileen Sobjack upon learning of Tuesday's tragic shooting at a Uvalde, Texas, elementary school. NFRW members are invited to join together in a prayer of comfort and healing from the NFRW Faith Coalition
"Father, we pray that you comfort the families and children of Uvalde, Texas.
"Father, protect, guard and keep our children. We pray that you give us wisdom on how to keep them safe.
"As we go forward, give us strategies to recognize warning signs and stop these violent incidents. More than anything, bring our nation back to Holiness and goodness. Help us to love our neighbors as ourselves.
"We commit these families and our nation to you. Make us once again, One nation under God!"
To the families of those involved in the senseless tragedy in Uvalde, and the community of Uvalde as a whole, words are not enough to describe our grief. The pure evil you have come face to face with is unfathomable. We pray through tears for your peace and healing. We pray that our nation awakens to how our society is failing our children, and we pray that we come together to rebuild the foundations of our great Nation so that every American child will be raised in a loving family, conscious of their value, and with a sense of purpose.
The Republican Primary Runoff election concluded yesterday. We will give you a recap tomorrow. Today is a time for us to stand together in unity as Americans and Texans. Not only for Uvalde, but for all of our children.
Thank you for standing with us.

The Greater San Antonio Council of the Texas Federation of Republican Women met on May 4 - the last meeting before the summer break. Our Guest Speaker was Chris Byrd, our newly elected State Republican Executive Committeeman for SD 25. Chris focused his briefing on the 10 principles that guide the SREC. He gave us quite the history lesson going back to Sir William Blackstone and the "Blackstone Commentaries." If you see him, be sure to congratulate him on his new grandchild.
Former longtime resident of Canyon Lake and member of CLRW, Jane Coble passed away on April 16 in Illinois, where she had moved to be closer to her family after her husband Lee died several years ago. There will be a memorial in a couple of months in their favorite place, Corpus Christi, Texas.

Congratulations to Bob Parks and the Hays County Republican Party for an outstanding event - the Lincoln Reagan Dinner on April 25. The Guest of Honor, South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem, gave an uplifting and powerful synopsis on how her state survived COVID and is now excelling at all levels. Our U.S. Congressman Chip Roy, who had just driven back from the border, gave a grim, detailed speech on the current conditions. We were thankful to have the opportunity to hear from two dedicated Republican leaders!
Hats Off to our CLRW VP - Membership, Brenda Potter, and her volunteers who created the perfect ambience for our "Wild About Texas" themed CLRW Membership Luncheon held on April 20. Our Guest Speaker was our very own TRFW President, Kit Whitehill, who focused her speech on educating our new members on the importance of the Texas Federation of Republican Women and the awards process. Of course, the hat contest contestants were again up to the challenge! We extend many a "Thank You!" to our judges: Patrick Seiler, Jim Hynes, and Harry Hingst. They had a tough job, but survived! Again, thanks to all for another CLRW memorable event!

We are blessed with an incredibly strong county chairman and volunteer staff but they need our assistance to stay open and available to all of us. Our club has directly benefited from their dedicated support of our fundraiser - last year the Headquarters, volunteers, and precinct chairs bought seven reserved tables for our fundraiser!
I have been coordinating with Susan Walker and Sharon Monge to ensure we are all more knowledgeable regarding the upcoming amendment and run-off elections.
Keeping Comal County RED is our responsibility.
See you there!

Please see note below from Deborah Wall, President, Camino Real Republican Women (CRRW) regarding the latest on the border and specifically the issue with Title 42.
Stay smart and send a thank you to Chip Roy for all he is doing regarding the border.
Border Care Project Report
Last Thursday, 24 March, with supplies donated by our Republican community, a team of volunteers with the Border Care Project made a trip to the Rio Grande Valley.
We were able to deliver four vehicles worth of hand sanitizer, insect repellent, wipes, sunscreen, first aid kits, and more directly to the agents. These supplies will be sorted by the agents for distribution to fellow agents in the field all the way to the Arizona border.
While there, an agent will give often us a briefing on the current situation involving apprehensions, human trafficking, fentanyl seizures and other illicit activity that will eventually impact ‘the interior’, ie us.
However for this briefing the agent focused on Title 42 and the impact of lifting that Trump era provision. Suffice it to say, the importance of this message was not lost on us— this will have a drastic impact on Texas. Let me explain.
Today, Wednesday, March 30, 2022, the Biden Administration is considering terminating the immigration rule that allows immigration officials to deny illegal aliens from declaring frivolous asylum claims. The Biden Administration is also considering ending Title 42, which prevents migrants with COVID or nations with contagious diseases from entering the U.S.
Removal of these two rules will exacerbate the border crisis. Thousands of migrants have already gathered on the Mexican side of the border, and they are ready to cross as soon as the rules are removed. This wave of migrants is described as a “tsunami” of migrants that will overwhelm border security.
Furthermore, because the nonprofit “charity” groups are helping to disperse the migrants throughout the country, state and local resources will be overwhelmed. Health, education, and public safety will feel the burden.
Over one million aliens have been caught since October 2021. The number will double or triple with the removal of these rules. America will be permanently “transformed” if this is allowed.
There must be a call to action for federal, state, and local elected officials to act.
Please send a ‘Thank you’ to Congressman Chip Roy for standing up for the citizens of Texas. Even though his district does not go to the border, this action of lifting Title 42 that he is fighting will most certainly have an impact on his district and all of the constituents of Texas.

The 56th Annual Texas Legislative Conference was held on March 25 at the New Braunfels Civic/Convention Center. CLRW was once again honored to be an Associate Sponsor of this event which is "a nonpartisan organization of Texas business and political leaders who meet annually in New Braunfels to focus on public policy issues." The two panel discussions on "The Current State of Texas' Economy" and "The Latest in Politics in Texas" were very informative and the moderators and panelists very knowledgeable on the topics at hand.

Canyon Lake Republican Women was very well represented at the 2022 Comal County Republican Party Convention on March 26. A number of CLRW Members and Associate Members serve as Precinct Chairs. Other members assisted as Sergeants at Arms, Check-In Assistants, and other jobs as needed. Our own Sharon Monge was the Chair of the Nominations Committee - Comal County has 90 delegates plus a host of Alternates for the Republican Party of Texas Convention in Houston! Kudos to Laura Buske, Chair of the Resolutions Committee, and the Parliamentarian, Geoff Barr, for keeping that segment of the convention "moving" while the attendees voted on 9 resolutions. To Sue Piner and crew: "Hats off for a job well done!"
The CLRW March Business Meeting was a huge success - many new members, guests, and candidates in the room and our special treat was our Guest Speaker Matt Rinaldi, Chairman, Republican Party of Texas (RPT). Mr. Rinaldi gave a very "to the point" speech about this past legislative session, his goals for the RPT, and his vision for the June RPT Convention in Houston. Our "Wild About Texas" Membership Luncheon in April is now SOLD OUT! Brenda Potter, VP-Membership, put out the challenge during the meeting and it worked! Our Guest Speaker will be Kit Whitehill, President, Texas Federation of Republican Women.
***MEMBERSHIP Luncheon is SOLD OUT***
On March 4, CLRW Members attended the March meeting of the Greater San Antonio Council (GSAC) of the Texas Federation of Republican Women (TFRW). Pictured from left to right are: Jeanne Slupik, CLRW President; Carolyn Besselman, GSAC 1VP-Programs and our 3VP-Fundraising; and Marsha Cooper, our GSAC Representative and our 1VP-Programs. It was an excellent meeting with the primary focus on the 2022 Primary Election and the issues with mail in ballots. As usual, the meeting was a great opportunity to talk with members from our fellow TFRW clubs and hear about their meetings, programs, and fundraisers.
***TIME TO GET OUT AND VOTE***
***Attention: Members***
Please ensure YOUR vote counts and vote during the Primary Election! Early voting locations remain open 7am to 7pm through Friday evening. You can of course vote on March 1 if you prefer.
Call your Republican friends and set up a breakfast, lunch or dinner date to eat and vote. Have a party! Many of you attended the Comal County Republican Candidate Forum and met candidates at our business meetings. YOU are the informed voters and we need you to step up and vote!
My 98 year old Dad voted at Saint Francis by the Lake Episcopal Church today and he loved it. He walked in, sat in a chair, chose his candidates, had an assistant close by monitoring his needs and before he knew it he was done!
Thank you, Jeanne
