Hi loyal Texas Values friend. Midnight tonight marks an important deadline for our work, to measure how we are doing financially, and to make sure we are off to a strong start in 2025. With the Texas Legislative Session starting, and our opposition pushing back on President Trump’s common sense action and decisions, we need your financial support through a donation tonight by midnight! Any amount makes a difference but we need to raise $25,000 by midnight tonight to start strong!!

***********The full email below was sent yesterday***********

A brave Texan was headed to jail, but thanks to Texas Values and many other leaders, Dr. Eithan Haim was set free!! Dr. Haim was facing up to 10 years in prison for telling the truth (being a whistleblower) about Texas Children’s Hospital performing sex change operations and using puberty blockers on kids. The Biden Department of Justice brought criminal charges against him and indicted him, hoping to put Dr. Haim in jail. For over a year, Texas Values has been working publicly and privately to help set Dr. Haim free! When our president Jonathan Saenz was in Washington, D.C. for the Trump Inauguration he had one chance to communicate with the right people that Dr. Haim needed help from, immediately. Jonathan had information that indicated that Dr. Haim would be sent to jail this past weekend. With Jonathan's help and the help of many others, this urgency became obvious to the Trump DOJ and when they took over last week, they dropped all the fake  and politically motivated criminal charges against Dr. Haim, on Friday afternoon!! Dr. Haim is now a free man!! “We did it, We won and Jonathan we couldn’t have done this without you and the help of Texas Values. You’ve been helping me and standing with me since the beginning” – these were the words of Dr. Haim on a phone call Jonathan had with him on Friday after the charges were dropped!!

Because you support Texas Values, this means you helped set a man free from prison, for our values!!

Please DONATE NOW!

But we need your urgent help now, to make sure this never happens again in Texas. The Texas Legislative Session has started and we need all the help we can get to be stronger!! Please donate now!! We need to raise $50,000 by midnight January 31st to advance our work and keep up with our opposition!!

But wait, there’s more good news!!

In TEXAS…  Our 89th  Biennial Texas Legislative Session was gaveled in at noon on Tuesday, January 14, 2025, and by Friday the 17th, more than 2400 bills had been filed - setting a new record for the state! 

This flood of bills presents our Texas Values policy team with the challenge of reading those bills that seek to reverse the gains we have made on values and issues that matter the most to Texans like you and me. Yes, we have won many battles in the legislature, but we must remain vigilant in protecting our shared beliefs. 

Since our founding in 2012, our policy team has worked closely with legislators to write and pass legislation that protects our shared core values of Faith, Family, and Freedom. Our Texas Values Policy team, including Jonathan Covey, Director of Policy, Mary Elizabeth Castle, Director of Government Relations, Megan Benton, Strategic Policy Associate, and myself - Jonathan Saenz, President and Attorney, was there as the session opened, and we will be there every single day during the Legislative Session – making your voice, and the voices of your fellow conservative Texans, heard. 

We are the only faith and family organization that will have a member of our team at the Texas Capitol all 140 days of the legislative session.

Our 89th Regular Session Legislative Priorities include: 

-  Religious Freedom/Conscience Protections

- Expand Parental Rights

- Protect Women’s Privacy (in locker rooms, bathrooms, and shower rooms) 

- Parental Permission for Sex Ed/Banning Radical Gender Ideology

-  Protect Life

-  Education Freedom 

Every single day… and that’s why I’m asking you to stand with me and Texas Values Action. We can stop the leftist attacks on our freedoms–– because we know they have not given up. In the more than 2400 bills filed there  will be good legislation offered up by our values-driven legislators. But also there will be bills that we must fight to preserve our core values of faith, family, and freedom. We already know there are 20 or more #BantheBible bills. Only by coming together to fight for what God and our forefathers entrusted to us, can we succeed. And, to do that, we need your prayers and your support. Click here to donate to continue this support! 

In AMERICA…

I was honored to receive an official invitation to attend the historic Inaugural Swearing-In Ceremony for President Donald J. Trump, official events including the Black Tie & Boots Ball and the Liberty Ball. It was a trip of a lifetime and getting to see President Trump and Vice President J.D. Vance in person was awesome!  

Texas Values Government Relations Director, Mary Elizabeth Castle, was also in D.C. serving as an official volunteer with the Trump/Vance Inaugural Committee. 

“Donald Trump is an ‘America First’ President who will lead our country into a more free, secure, and prosperous future. Texas and the issues of faith, family, and freedom now have a friend back in The White House. I look forward to working closely with the Trump Administration to keep Texas strong and Make America Great Again!” 

- Jonathan Saenz, President and Attorney for Texas Values as posted on Facebook from Washington D.C. 

We are blessed to have our Texas values shared and supported by our President Donald J. Trump: 

 "There are only two genders, male and female." - President Donald J. Trump

 President Trump’s clear affirmation that there are only two genders strongly aligns with our position in the ongoing fight to protect children and youth from the harmful effects of medically and/or surgically transitioning, a practice promoted by far-left ideologies. Chloe Cole’s story is a powerful example of the irreversible harm caused when trusted adults encouraged her to transition. Now, she is advocating to protect children from these life-altering and permanent decisions.

"We will keep Men out of Women's Sports." - President Donald J. Trump

We are thankful for President Donald J. Trump for making the #SaveWomensSports movement a priority and to trailblazers like Riley Gaines, Paula Scanlan, Macy Petty, and Kassidy Comer Barreras who have courageously shared their stories and continue to fight for this issue every day. 

And, while President Trump is working to Make America Great Again, we are working with Governor Abbott and our Texas Legislative allies to Keep Texas Great as well! 

On the key issue of School Choice for Governor Abbott, Jonathan Covey comments, “Governor Greg Abbott has worked hard to put himself in a position where school choice does become a successful issue, and we get universal school choice." 

We also want to acknowledge and thank Attorney General Ken Paxton, who was at the Supreme Court of the United States earlier this month, for defending the critical Texas law which is designed to protect children by requiring online pornography sites to implement reasonable age-verification measures. #ProtectKidsNotPorn 

Mary Elizabeth Castle, from our team, was there as well, and was invited to speak at the Supreme Court rally. 

We are already hard at work at the Texas Capitol, with the 89th Texas Legislative Session underway, leading and supporting efforts to protect the religious freedom of all Texans, protect our children, protect women and girls in ‘sex-separated’ spaces, and protect life from conception to natural death.   

Texas Values is leading the charge to protect Texans, but we cannot do it alone—your support is crucial! As always, we rely entirely on the voluntary contributions of concerned individuals like you. Unlike our far-left opponents, we don't have the vast financial backing they do. While it's difficult to focus on money, the reality is that in this battle, those with the deepest pockets hold a significant, often overwhelming, advantage. Your immediate support is more critical than ever.

Will you send the most generous gift you can today? By your contribution, you’ll be an essential partner with us, as we work during this legislative session to shape legislation to protect our shared values of Faith, Family, and Freedom! 

Texas Faith & Family Day has been rescheduled to March 6th, and we are excited to announce that Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick will speak at our event!  You can get secure your tickets here!
