Abbott for violations of the Texas and US Constitutions. I hope you will join us. We cannot allow his gross attacks against our freedom to go unaddressed. This meeting is the last chance we will have before the primary to address the issue in a substantive way. Tom Glass wrote this: "As Justice Don Willett said in the 2015 case, Patel v Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation, “The Texas Constitution – then and today – exists to secure liberty.” Liberty and justice for all are our highest political values in Texas. In other words, in Texas, we err on the side of liberty over safety and emergency." This link has some info for you to read on the topic, taken from https://thefivestarplan.com/abbotts-violations We are required by rule 44 of the Republican Party of Texas to give "notice and invitation to the officeholder to appear and be provided time to speak." I posted the info everywhere I could think to post it. That will give the Governor a week's notice. He's only 90 miles away. If someone has an idea how else to notify Gov. Abbott, please let me know. He is hard to reach. RPT rules: https://texasgop.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/2020-RPT-Rules-Amended-8-28-21.pdf I am also attaching, below, a censure motion for your consideration, taken from the Five Star Plan. It sounds well-written to me. For Liberty, David C. Treibs Republican Precinct 13 Chairman, Gillespie County, Texas Gillespie County Republican Party Resolution of Censure of Governor, Greg Abbott WHEREAS, on February 01, 2022, the Executive Committee of the Gillespie County Republican Party convened a Regular Executive Meeting during which it considered whether, pursuant to Rule 44 of the Republican Party of Texas (“RPT”), Governor Greg Abbott should be censured for his recent actions and Executive Orders which violate the core principles of the RPT defined in the Preamble of the Party Platform as described in Rule No. 43A; and WHEREAS, the Platform of the RPT declares in the Preamble that we believe in the Platform and expect our elected leaders to uphold these truths through acknowledgment and action; and WHEREAS, Rule 44 of the RPT provides that a County Executive Committee may by a two-thirds (2/3) vote of those present and voting, adopt a resolution censuring a Republican public or party office holder representing all or a portion of that County for three (3) or more actions taken during the current biennium in opposition to the core principles of the RPT defined in the Preamble of the Party Platform as described in Rule No. 43A, and that said resolution may request that the offending official be penalized under the resolution; and WHEREAS, the first provision of the core principles provides that we support the strict adherence to the original language and intent of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitutions of the United States and of Texas; and WHEREAS, the third provision of the core principles provides for preserving American and Texas sovereignty and freedom; and WHEREAS, the fourth provision of the core principles provides we should limit government power to those items enumerated in the United States and Texas Constitutions; and WHEREAS, the fifth provision of the core principles provides that we support personal accountability and responsibility; and WHEREAS, the ninth provision of the core principles provides that we support a free enterprise society unencumbered by government interference or subsidies. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT KNOWN AS FOLLOWS, that after due and careful consideration, the GCRP’s Executive Committee hereby FINDS AND CONCLUDES THE FOLLOWING: 1. That Governor Greg Abbott violated the first provision of the core principles by suspending statutes enacted by the legislature via executive order in violation of Article 1 Section 28, Texas Constitution, and by creating law via executive order in violation of the separation of the powers of government under Article 2, Section 1, Texas Constitution; 2. That Governor Greg Abbott violated the third provision of the core principles by failing to preserve the freedoms of Texans when he enacted executive orders that resulted in the denial of due process to millions of Texans, constituted takings without just compensation by closing businesses without just cause, denied the people the right to freedom of assembly, and imposed onerous mandates, fines, and imprisonment upon the people; 3. That Governor Greg Abbott violated the fourth provision of the core principles, by exceeding the powers of government limited under the Constitutions of the United States and of the State of Texas; 4. That Governor Greg Abbott violated the fifth provision of the core principles, by limiting the ability of local hospitals and medical providers to determine the appropriate manner in which to operate, and mandated how people should conduct their personal interactions against their will; and 5. That Governor Greg Abbott violated the ninth provision of the core principles by abruptly and ruthlessly closing private businesses causing millions of Texans to face unemployment, treating certain people as “unessential”, further harassing small business owners with bureaucratic regulators, and devastating the Texas economy: and 6. That Governor Abbott did not merely fail to protect the Constitution of the United States and of the State of Texas as his oath of office requires but did knowingly and willfully violate no fewer than 9 Articles of the Bill of Rights of the Texas Constitution. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Gillespie County Republican Party hereby CENSURES Governor Greg Abbott for violating three (3) or more of the core principles of the Republican Party Platform; that the GCRP requests that this censure be considered and sustained by all Republican Party State Representatives and Senators in the Legislative Session of 2021 assembled; and that the GCRP requests all available penalties be levied upon the offending officeholder. RESOLUTION PASSED AND DONE THIS 01 DAY OF February, 2022 BY A VOTE OF TWO-THIRDS OF THOSE PRESENT AND VOTING, OF THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE OF THE Gillespie COUNTY REPUBLICAN PARTY. SIGNED on February 01, 2022 by:
