Earlier this morning, I announced that
@KenPaxtonTX and I will be speaking at a
@TPUSA event at the University of Houston on Tuesday, November 11.
I had a long call with Turning Point executives yesterday about putting TPUSA chapters on every high school and college campus in Texas.
As we wrapped up the call, I shared a fond memory of Charlie from President Trump’s 2017 Inauguration. Charlie and I were going to the Trump Hotel to celebrate and walked in the door at the same time. We began a conversation from there.
I was always inspired by his mission “to identify, educate, train, and organize students to promote the principles of freedom, free markets, and limited government.” Charlie was confident he could do that. Later, he brought his faith into his discussions on campus with boldness and conviction that only grew his following.
I had not planned to make a donation before the call, but the Lord put it on my heart to make a meaningful contribution to kick start the Texas project.
I committed a million dollars from my campaign to honor that young man from many years ago who shared his dream with me and in hopes others will follow at any amount - whether it’s $10 or much more. He gave his life for his mission. He gave his life for Christ.
It’s up to us to see his vision grow far beyond what even he may have thought possible.
Since Charlie’s death, over 135,000 requests have been made to start TPUSA chapters.
Texas has the size and the heart to open more chapters than any other state and more than most countries.
Let’s get it done for Charlie, and for Texas.
