BSB Conservative Republicans PAC First PAC in Texas to Declare Border Disaster

At the October 1, 2022, meeting of the Bulverde Spring Branch  Conservative Republicans (BSBCR), a "Resolution of a State of Disaster" was unanimously passed by the members.

"Many Texas counties and at least 1 city have issued disaster declarations relating to the invasion that Texas is undergoing. The state of Texas, however, has not declared an invasion - yet. These county & city declarations are gaining momentum across the state, with the goal to have Governor Abbott recognize and formally declare an invasion," BSBCR President Kaci Sisk said. "The BSBCR Political Action Committee (PAC) feels that as an Action organization it is incumbent on us to stand up, speak out, and exercise our right to be heard. The border crisis must be resolved. Since Washington will not protect our country from invasion, Texas must."

State Republican Executive Committee (SREC) Member Senate District 25, Chris Byrd stated, “This resolution is consistent with that passed by the SREC formally requesting such action on behalf of the Republican Party of Texas.”

Bulverde Spring Branch Conservative Republicans (BSBCR) Political Action Committee (PAC) is an independent PAC, not affiliated with any other PAC.  BSBCR was formed in late 2020, and has over 300 active and informed members. The PAC's purpose is to equip, empower, and engage the community for active participation in the political process, to preserve our Judeo-Christian heritage, and grow conservative presence at all levels of government.
