We need to fight back. Syrupy sentiments aren’t going to work.
Still trying to track down the churches indicated by the yellow blanks.
I am banned from Facebook, so if you find the information, you will need to do a screen capture. There are legislators in Roman Catholic and some are United Methodist Church members. What the Pope might say in Rome doesn’t mean that there aren’t Roman Catholics targeting us in Texas. Similarly, what the United Methodist Church leadership says, doesn’t mean their members aren’t targeting us.
The Reps shaded with blue were on the Texas House Criminal Jurisprudce Committee.

Money, Brent
https://house.texas.gov/members/4670 No biography
If Texas values are hallmarked by the principles of faith, family and service to others, Brent Money is Texan to the core. A sixth-generation resident of Hunt County, husband and father, attorney, and businessman, Brent has many achievements to be proud of. Even so, he lives his life to honor service over success.
If we look around, we know that government is not “of the people, by the people, and for the people” like it was intended. Instead, our elected officials are serving their own selfish interests and hurting our way of life, our families, and our businesses. Protecting the innocence and lives of children used to be a given. Protecting our borders from invasion was obvious. Believing parents can make the best decisions for their child’s education was intuitive. We need someone who will fight for common sense Texas values as this district’s representative. We also need someone who can actually win those fights.
We know that moral decay, bigger government, and record spending is not what made Texas great. Texas values are hallmarked by the principles of faith, family, and service to a cause higher than ourselves. Now is the time to invest in Texas, to fight for common sense and the Texas values we share, and not settle for anything less than what’s right.
Representing this district is not about me; it is a calling that I approach seriously and prayerfully. I believe strongly in the parable of the talents. One day, I will have to demonstrate to God Himself that I invested all that He gave me doing what He called me to do. It’s also about family, both mine and yours. I’ve been married to my high school sweetheart, Heidi, for over 23 years. We have five children, including children adopted through foster care. My parents taught me that when I’m entrusted with something, I should leave it better than I found it. It is imperative that we leave our children a Texas that’s better than the one we were given.
