Remembering J6ers
Some of you will recall that LPRW held an Inaugural Ball in January, emcee’d by Shane Witcher who is a J6er. We were all praying for him: that Trump would pardon those who stood for election integrity, the US Constitution and freedom, yet paid a heavy price. Today, Shane sent this:
Five years ago today, myself and 1500 other Patriots, and sons and daughters of the Republic chose to respond to the provocations and criminal actions of a tyrannical government and enter the Capitol.
We were there to petition for a redress of grievances with our government as is our Right under the 1st Amendment of our Constitution.
The governments and medias reaction was to persecute, prosecute and destroy the lives of Americans who dared to question the outcome of an election.
Today, five years later I have only one regret. That we did not hold our house that day. That the moment did not serve as a catalyst to end this corrupt, criminal, tyrannical government once and for all and replace it with men and women of vision, of courage, steeped in American values and traditions. So that one day America and her people may reach our full potential and realize the dream of our founders.
Happy J6 Day America. Freedom is not free.

Senator Schwertner Responds
If you attended our November meeting, you know there was a great deal of spirited discussion with Senator Schwertner about the intersection of Hwy 71 and Old 71 as well as the current state of the Secretary of State’s voter registration system. Today, we received the following two letters from Senator Schwertner.

REGARDING ELECTIONS:
“I also understand that the program’s value has been diminished by certain functions not operating as expected or not fully meeting user needs at the time of its rollout. As a result, my office will be coordinating a meeting with the agency and local Bastrop representatives to ensure that, ahead of the 2026 election cycle, the agency heeds feedback from counties served and improves the system based on the practical challenges you’ve identified.”

REGARDING HWY 71/OLD 71
“[…] my office is organizing a meeting with TxDOT leadership to review the safety challenges at the eastern Old 71/SH 71 junction, the expected traffic impacts from ongoing development, and residents’ concerns about potential neighborhood routing. […]
I have asked TxDOT to meet directly with members of the affected community to ensure questions are answered and concerns are addressed.“
