VOTE! This is your tool kit to fixing a broken system! It is the FIRST major step in accessing what needs fixed! Failure to start at this crucial step first will only result more damage!




Early Voting: Now thru October 31
Election Day: November 4

Sample Ballots by precinct - http://www.bastropvotes.org/election-information-2/sample-ballots/

Be sure and look at Proposition 1 = This is a tricky one***** Please tread carefully....remember the mobility amendment we voted for and ended up with the Trans Texas Corridor , Toll roads + as an added side the National Animal Identification (which I believe was no accident)
Info for an informed decision:

Amendment reads: “The constitutional amendment providing for the use and dedication of certain money transferred to the state highway fund to assist in the completion of transportation construction, maintenance, and rehabilitation projects, not to include toll roads.” That is all you are going to get on your ballot. So to research the issue further, here are some resources:

How to Fight for Liberty

Early voting opens Monday, but voting is not enough to achieve our goals this election cycle. We need a team of volunteers working the next two weeks to encourage conservatives to go VOTE. Will you join that team?

Over the next two weeks, the Abbott campaign will e-mail you a daily call list comprised of Bastrop County voters that the campaign has already identified as being Abbott supporters. Our job will be to call and remind them to go vote, and to vote straight-party Republican. Such a message helps all our candidates. Each day, the list will be purged of all voters who have already voted, so that the new list you receive will be limited to those who have not yet voted. This project is done on your schedule, from your home, to whatever extent you are able. Fighting for liberty couldn’t be simpler.

Democrats have unleashed an army of paid workers on Texas funded in large part by out-of-state donations. They are intent on fundamentally changing Texas so that it is as broken as the rest of the country. We must match their effort with volunteer patriots working because they believe in protecting their freedoms.

All that is necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing. This is your fight. Will you join me in doing what it takes to preserve and advance liberty in Texas and Bastrop County? If so, e-mail me at bastropgop@austin.rr.com and let me know of your willingness to help.

Albert L. Ellison, Chairman
Bastrop County Republican Party
