Austin Republican Women (ARW) is a group of Austin-area women keen on political awareness and education, community involvement, and advancing Republican causes and ideals in the governance of our great State of Texas.

U.S. Representative Michael McCaul (TX-10) to deliver 2022 Congressional Report at ARW’s October Luncheon Meeting

Since 2005, Texans have sent Michael McCaul to Washington, D.C. to represent us in Congress and to look out for our interests. On October 6, he returns to Austin to share news and perspective with ARW members about what’s going on up there. Make plans now to join us and learn firsthand from a man who’s in the thick of it all.

The son of a World War II veteran and a fourth-generation Texan, Michael McCaul is a former federal prosecutor who has dedicated his career to standing up for Americans and getting things done.

As the most effective Republican in Congress, he leads the charge to stop wasteful spending, create jobs, secure the border, and ensure our children get the best education possible while defending school choice policies that put parents in control of their child’s education.

As Chairman Emeritus on the U.S. House Committee on Homeland Security and Ranking Member on the Foreign Affairs Committee, Michael is working to ensure America projects strength on the world stage while caring for our service members at home.

He is leading efforts to defend America from hostile countries, like China, and other bad actors who wish us harm. The CCP (Chinese Communist Party) poses a long-term threat to the U.S., so Michael is committed to standing up against China and reducing our reliance on them. In fact, he was an original co-sponsor of the Chips for America Act. He has been critical of President Biden terminating the Migrant Protection Protocols (Remain in Mexico policy), claiming he’s compounding the crisis at the Texas border. And he also founded the Childhood Cancer Caucus – an issue close to Michael’s heart and he hopes to give kids a better chance at survival from this disease.

In 2021, Austin Republican Women (ARW) announced an ambitious, two-year fundraising initiative to KEEP TEXAS RED– an initiative intended to preserve and defend Texas values and beliefs against those who threaten them. Response so far has been tremendous. And with just months remaining in 2022, there’s still time to DONATE, still time to help Republican candidates win at the polls. Make no mistake, we are in yet another fight for Texas.

ARW’s KEEP TEXAS RED initiative is both a battle cry and a call to arms. Like famous battle cries of the mid-1830s when Texians fought and died to defend this land, KEEP TEXAS RED is a rallying cry for our time. To those who threaten to turn Texas blue, we say: No way, “Come and take it.”

Today, the battlegrounds are our cities, schools, courts and state Houses. Social media, cell phones and fake news have replaced the cannons and rifles of yesteryear. Our swords are now our elected officials; our weapons are now dollars. Isn’t it time to help ARW arm the arsenal with your donation?

If you answer yes, to defending Republican values and beliefs, please make a donation to ARW’s KEEP TEXAS RED initiative. There are four donation categories from which to choose, each one named after an historic battle cry that spurred Texians to victory in their fight for Texas. With your financial support, ARW can continue that good fight today for the future of our Great State. Let’s KEEP TEXAS RED

– Donation Categories –

$100 – “Remember the Alamo”.
A battle cry used by Texians on April 21, 1836 at the Battle of San Jacinto when a siesta-taking Mexican army was surprisingly descended upon on the banks of the San Jacinto River near present-day Houston. After only 18 minutes, an overwhelmingly outnumbered Texas militia had defeated the Mexican Army, its Gen. Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna soon captured, and the Republic of Texas was born.
$250 – “Come and Take It”
Considered the first notable battle of the Texas Revolution, the Battle of Gonzales skirmish with Mexican troops occurred on October 2, 1835 when colonists refused to return a small, six-pound, Spanish cannon given to them for protection from Indian attack. The Texians rolled out the cannon under a flag that read “Come and Take It.” The Mexicans retreated. The Texas Revolution began.
$500 – “Never Surrender or Retreat”
On February 24, 1836, besieged by the Mexican Army, Commander William B. Travis penned his famous Victory or Death letter to the “people of Texas and all Americans in the world” to come to the aid of his Alamo Mission garrison. “I will never surrender or retreat,” he wrote. Unfortunately, no reinforcements came and on the 13th day of the siege, the Alamo fell.
Other (amount of your choice) – “Remember Goliad!”
One event of the Texas Revolution that ignited fury and garnered support from the people of Texas, the U.S., Great Britain and France was the Goliad Massacre of March 27, 1836 that followed the Battle of Coleto Creek. “Remember Goliad” and “Remember the Alamo” were cried out by Texians during the Battle of San Jacinto. “Remember Goliad” was acknowledgement of and contempt for the cruelty of Gen. Santa Anna when he ordered the execution of Col. James Fannin and some 342 unarmed prisoners of war from the Texian Army of the Republic of Texas, and then had their bodies burned.
