|
||
| WHEREAS, The King Street Patriots are marking the grand | ||
| opening of their new headquarters in Houston with a celebration and | ||
| fund-raiser on May 16, 2011; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Founded in 2009 by Catherine Engelbrecht, Dianne | ||
| Josephs, and other concerned citizens, the King Street Patriots is | ||
| a nonprofit group committed to freedom, capitalism, American | ||
| exceptionalism, constitutional governance, civic duty, and | ||
| election integrity; the group takes its name from American history | ||
| and those individuals who protested on the streets of Boston in | ||
| response to confiscatory British policies at the end of the | ||
| colonial era; King Street at the time was a center of historic and | ||
| patriotic acts that ultimately led to the American Revolution; and | ||
| WHEREAS, One of the major initiatives of the King Street | ||
| Patriots is known as True the Vote; this campaign seeks to inspire | ||
| and equip volunteers for involvement in every stage of the | ||
| electoral process in order to protect the rights of legitimate | ||
| voters; the group advocates for the training of volunteers to work | ||
| as election monitors, pursues fraud reports, provides resources to | ||
| support its volunteers, creates documentaries and instructional | ||
| videos, raises awareness of the problem of voter fraud, and | ||
| encourages efforts to validate existing registration lists; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Through their activism, the members of the King | ||
| Street Patriots are making a difference in their community, state, | ||
| and nation, and they may take pride in their public-spirited | ||
| engagement on issues that affect all Texans; now, therefore, be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the 82nd Legislature of the State of Texas | ||
| hereby recognize the King Street Patriots for their commitment to | ||
| freedom and election integrity and extend to them sincere best | ||
| wishes for a memorable grand opening celebration; and, be it | ||
| further | ||
| RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be | ||
| prepared for the King Street Patriots as an expression of high | ||
| regard by the Texas House of Representatives and Senate. | ||
