Austin Republican Women is now re-introducing its KEEP TEXAS RED PAC initiative for 2023-2024. If we are to preserve and defend our values and beliefs against those who threaten them, the time for action is now. Make no mistake, we are in yet another fight for Texas.
ARW’s 2023-24 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 2023-24 KEEP TEXAS RED initiative. There are five donation categories from which to choose, with four 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”
More Info
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”
More Info
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”
More Info
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.
$1,000 – “Remember Goliad!”
More Info
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.
