Sign up for any or all classes (they're free!), and increase your knowledge and understanding of what it takes to keep Texas Texan.  Be sure to bring your Liberty Passport - you'll be able to finish the entire series in this one weekend!  If you don't have a Liberty Passport, you'll receive one at the workshops. (Seating is limited, so don't delay!  Sign up today.)

These classes are March 15th and 16th at the Tru By Hilton Hotel, 1553 Central Expressway, Allen, TX 75013.  For more information about the Certified True Texan program, watch this quick video.

This session is a two day schedule, beginning on Friday evening with the Citizen Advocate Training from 5:30 to 9:00 pm.   The other 4 classes will be on Saturday starting at 8:30 am and ending at 5:00 pm.  If you live outside the DFW Metroplex, the Tru by Hilton hotel has very reasonable rates, and we think you'll find that the workshops are worth the effort.  You can reserve at their website or call for assistance.

On Friday evening, we invite anyone who is interested to join us for dinner at a local restaurant after the workshop to continue the discussions.  On Saturday, there will be a one hour lunch break from 12:00 to 1:00 when you can go out to grab something quickly, or you are welcome to bring a sack lunch.  Light snacks and water will be provided throughout the two days.

Here's a brief description of the workshops (register for as many as you want - or all 5!)

True Texas Citizen Advocates:  Friday March 15, 5:30pm to 9:00pm

This is our popular 4-hour class about being an effective citizen advocate at every level of government. Facilitated by Fran Rhodes, TTP President, with a team of guest speakers, we'll cover Citizen Advocacy 101, legislative priorities, how to use the TLO website, the legislative process, testifying at hearings, local government advocacy, and effective communication with elected representatives. This workshop will blast you like a fire hose with information to help you be the best and most effective citizen advocate in Texas!  You'll be ready to hit the ground running for the 2025 legislative session.

TTP 101:  Saturday March 16, 8:30am to 9:30am  

You'll learn who we are, what we do, and why we do it. Lead by CEO and founders, Julie & Fred McCarty, you will hear about the origins of True Texas Project, some of the hurdles we've encountered, how we grew to 18 satellites located throughout Texas, why we are committed to building the grassroots army, who the enemy is, and how to engage in the fight to save Texas.

True Texas Campaigns: Saturday March 16, 9:45am to 10:45am

Learn what it takes to run for office, or to help someone else do it. Our instructor is experienced and knowledgeable campaign consultant and strategist, Nate Criswell. You will hear tips about preparing, organizing, fundraising, communicating, block walking, and much more. Whether you are running, or you want to help others with their campaigns, this workshop will give you insight on best practices that spell success. 2024 primaries are over, but there's always another election!  Everyone needs this class.

True Texas Liberty:  Saturday March 16 11:00am to 12:00 pm

All the -isms! Explore the differences between Capitalism, Woke Capitalism, Fascism, Nationalism, Socialism, and Communism. This workshop is led by Tim Hardin, former President of Texans for Fiscal Responsibility. You’ll get a deep dive into Marxist ideology and how it has grown into today’s “woke” behaviors. Understanding the differences in these forms of government will prepare you to defend Texas and the freedoms we cherish.

Constitution Boot Camp:  Saturday March 16, 1:00pm to 5:00pm

Learn the basics of the Constitution in layman’s terms in just 4 hours! This is not a boring civics class. By the end you’ll be easily able to spot unConstitutional actions taken by our government. You’ll understand why our Constitution has been so successful for so long, and you’ll be able to articulate how it compares to others. You’ll be impressed with how much knowledge you pick up so quickly!
