Frederick Douglass Republicans of Tarrant County

🚨 TEXANS NEED TO PAY ATTENTION TO THESE PROPOSITIONS 🚨

The May 2026 special edition of *The Clarion* highlights the Texas Democrat Primary Propositions and why many conservatives believe these policies could push Texas in the wrong direction.

These propositions include support for:

1️⃣ Expanding government-controlled healthcare

2️⃣ Supporting hormone procedures and expanded gender policies

3️⃣ Lowering the age for life-altering healthcare decisions

4️⃣ Expanding government intervention in housing

5️⃣ Reducing local control over public school funding

6️⃣ Increasing government salaries outside normal accountability processes

7️⃣ Expanding taxpayer-funded state healthcare systems

8️⃣ Increasing workplace regulations tied to personal employee matters

9️⃣ Expanding state control over investments and financial regulation

🔟 Redistricting approaches centered around racial considerations

1️⃣1️⃣ Redirecting public education funding priorities

1️⃣2️⃣ Expanding taxpayer-backed renewable public corporations

1️⃣3️⃣ Restricting individuals from public office over “misinformation” accusations or personal beliefs

Many Texans see these propositions as:
⚠️ bigger government
⚠️ weaker parental rights
⚠️ higher taxpayer burdens
⚠️ increased bureaucracy
⚠️ threats to constitutional freedoms

Frederick Douglass believed liberty depends on an informed citizenry. Texans cannot afford to ignore what is being proposed politically across this state.

Read the propositions.
Study the policies.
Get informed.
Vote wisely.

TEXAS VALUES STILL MATTER. 🔥🐘

Memorial Day is more than the start of summer.
It is a sacred reminder that freedom is not free.

Across generations, American service members laid down their lives to defend this nation, our Constitution, our liberties, and the ideals that bind us together as Americans.

At the Frederick Douglass Republicans of Tarrant County, we remember their sacrifice with gratitude, humility, and prayer.

May we never take this country, our freedoms, or those who fought to protect them for granted.

God bless our fallen heroes.
God bless Texas.
And God bless the United States of America. 🇺🇸

Today we launch our "For God and Country" Sunday series. As Memorial Day approaches, our hearts turn to the sacred grounds of New Trinity Cemetery to honor the brave men and women who served with sacrifice.

For our Post 655 family in Haltom City, Fort Worth, Richland Hills, North Richland Hills, and Keller, this is a time for unity. Our motto, "For God and Country," is the heartbeat of our community, reminding us that we are bound by gratitude to those who protected our freedom.

Fort Worth families and community leaders helped shape an important local education decision this week.

Fort Worth ISD officially approved renaming César Chávez Elementary to Esperanza Elementary following a community-driven review process that included public surveys, campus committee recommendations, and board consideration.

“Esperanza,” meaning “hope,” reflects the voices of parents, educators, and residents who participated throughout the process.

Strong communities are built when citizens stay engaged in local schools, local government, and the future of the next generation. Decisions impacting children and education should never happen without community participation.

Frederick Douglass understood that education and civic involvement were foundational to a strong and self-governing society. That principle still matters today.

What role do you believe local communities should play in shaping education?

Texas is taking action to put American workers first.

Governor Greg Abbott has directed Texas state agencies and public universities to freeze new H-1B visa petitions while reviewing current program use. Attorney General Ken Paxton has also expanded investigations into North Texas businesses suspected of H-1B visa fraud and abuse.

This is about protecting opportunity, enforcing the law, and making sure skilled Texans are not pushed aside by systems that reward manipulation over merit.

Economic self-reliance, fair access to work, and strong families all begin with a labor market that respects American workers.

How important is it that Texas employers prioritize qualified workers already here?
