Dear Republican Delegate,

Cancel culture, created by the far Left, is threatening the Republican Party of Texas. Please help to put a stop to that by immediately contacting and asking your member on the Permanent Rules Committee to OPPOSE Rule 44. Here is a list of the committee members.

Suggested email text, or voice message:

Please OPPOSE Rule 44 which is under consideration by the Permanent Rules Committee. Rule 44 silences the voice of Republican voters and prevents them from deciding who should represent the Republican Party in the General Election. Republican voters, not party bosses who meet in Austin, should decide that. Stop the cancel culture mindset; it has no place in the Republican Party of Texas.

Background

A small number of people on the Permanent Rules Committee seek the power to dictate who is allowed to go on the Republican Primary ballot to represent the Republican Party in the General Election, taking away your voice and the voice of other Republican voters. 

They are doing this through Rule 44. (Click here for the language of the rule.) 

Rule 44 directly opposes Republican values. Voters should have the say in who is on the ballot and who gets to represent them and their values, not a small number of party bosses who meet in Austin (the SREC). 

We stand against their proposed Rule 44, and we ask you, the grassroots voice of Texas pro-life voters, to reach out to members of the Permanent Rules Committee to be heard on this matter.

You can do this in several ways:

  • Email
  • Phone or Text
  • Social Media
    • Here is proposed language for a social media post speaking out against Rule 44 that will work on all platforms:
      • Rule 44, under consideration by the Permanent Rules Committee at the Texas GOP convention, needs to be removed. The rule seeks to silence the voice of Republican voters, is cancel culture mindset, & has no place in the Republican Party of TX.
