Rick Green’s “Citizens Guide to the Constitution” Class – January 8, 2012

SOS Plaza is hosting Rick Green’s “Citizens Guide to the Constitution” class.  In a short three hours, you will walk away with a practical understanding of our Constitution and our rights as citizens of this great nation.

America is an exceptional country in many ways.  The freedom and prosperity we have created for our citizens and many other countries around the world is just one small example.  Unfortunately, too many of us, including me, have lost sight of the price and basis of that freedom.  This is your opportunity, at a convenient location and limited time investment, to educate yourself (and then your family and friends) about one of the greatest documents and acts of freedom that the modern world has ever known.

Austin: Successful Rally to Oppose AG Holder’s Attack on Election Reforms. PLUS Citizen Action Items!

On Tuesday, December 13 a rally was held near the LBJ Library at the University of Texas, Austin to highlight the attack on election reforms launched inside by U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder. Holder went to Texas to denounce the Lone Star State’s voter ID laws and claimed that simple voter ID laws were somehow discriminatory. Holder ominously claimed that he would use the power of his office to “enforce civil rights protections” during the upcoming 2012 elections.

Outside the LBJ Library nearly 200 citizens gathered to hear a multi-racial panel of six speakers denounce Holder’s partisan attempts to push the administration’s agenda to turn a blind eye to continuing voter fraud that consistently favors candidates from the Democrat Party.

The rally was sponsored by the Houston-based True The Vote, a grass roots voter integrity project staffed by volunteers. True The Vote is a nation-wide organization that has affiliates across the country, every day citizens interested in the integrity of the elections in their home district.

True The Vote President Catherine Engelbrecht said she was thrilled by the turnout that was arranged on only a few day’s notice:
