“UNCENSORED”

Date: September 7th, 2022
Time: 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
Location: Texas Capitol Auditorium
(No charge for event. Lunch will be served in the Leg CC)

As we all know, our Republican and Democrat towns and cities are being destroyed. City and County representatives from both parties call our Federal Government for help and no one will talk to them or offer solutions. Our Texans tax money is being spent on the catastrophe caused from the illegals pouring into our country. The Border Education Summit “UNCENSORED “ has been put together with some of the greatest speakers in the country. The presentation and slides being used will tell and show the REAL story of the border with “no censorship”. We will discuss human trafficking, sex trafficking, drugs coming across our border, cartels, terrorist, education with the amount of illegals in our state, the food chain supply, unaccompanied minors, and the government subsidies we are expected to pay.

It’s already known to everyone, that the Crisis at the Border needs the attention of the Full House of Representatives. This is a Bipartisan crisis, and to do nothing will continue to destroy our state and country. Everyone must be cautious of their news source. Whichever way you vote, it’s important to have the facts from experts in every field. We have brought these experts from across the country to you at a great expense. In fairness to all your constituents living thru these hard times, we will of course, expect to see you there.

Speakers and hosts: Jaeson Jones – Newsmax Contributor and Cartel Expert, Todd Bensman – Senior National Security Fellow at the Center of Immigration Studies, Craig Sawyer – Veterans For Child Rescue, Tom Homan – visiting fellow at “The Heritage Foundation”, former Director of the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement , Mark Morgan – former Commissioner of U.S. Customs and Border Protection, visiting fellow “The Heritage Foundation”, Walter West – former State Republican Executive Member, Border Specialist, George Rodriguez – Radio Host “El Conservador”, Dr. Jon Spiers – Surgeon and Attorney, Ammon Blair – Border Patrol, Chuck Smith – “Making a case for America”, Immigration Attorney, Chip Roy – U.S. Congressman, Jody Arrington – U.S. Congressman, Speakers from Center for Renewing America, Sheriff Brad Coe – Kinney County Border Sheriff, Brent Smith – Kinney County County Attorney, Sheriff Roy Boyd – Goliad County.

Hummingbirds are coming to Town!

Are your feeders ready?

ROCKPORT-FULTON –Rockport-Fulton HummerBird Celebration is gearing up for September 15-18, 2022. It’s time to get those hummingbird feeders out. Our beautiful fall visitors are oblivious to all that is going on in our world today.  They are flying in and they are hungry! Prepare your feeders and help us give our feathered friends a little extra help to fuel their continued migration south.

How to Prepare Your Hummingbird Feeder:

Remember to always start with clean feeders.  Any time you see or suspect mildew or mold you may clean them with a bottle brush and a mixture of one-part bleach to ten parts water, but rinse very thoroughly.  To refill the feeder, use a sugar solution of one-part sugar (no sugar substitutes or honey) to four parts water.  Do not vary this formula.  If the sugar solution is more concentrated, there is a possibility of it being harmful to the birds by dehydrating them.  Heat the water to a slight boil, remove from heat and stir until sugar is dissolved.  Fill feeders with the solution after it cools.  Adding color is absolutely unnecessary and harmful.  The red color of the feeder attracts the birds. Unused sugar water can be stored in the refrigerator for up to two weeks (a covered container).  Feeders should be cleaned and refilled with sugar water every two to three days or immediately at the first sign of mold.

To make your yard even more inviting to hummingbirds, plant some hummingbird attractant plants. Hummingbirds are little bullies. Hanging feeders in a cluster can ease some of the competition but not all.  They rarely hurt each other so just enjoy the show.  Let’s all commit to helping them out and send them south with a good store of energy for their journey and look for their return in spring.

HummerBird Celebration:

We will be offering three full days of activities this year. We are partnering with several of our main attractions to add new events yearly. Be sure to visit our website to find out more about these activities. Events this year will include will have Boat and Bus Birding Trips, a special dinner and breakfast, Bird bandings, Field trips, Hummer Home tours, a Hummer Mall and a variety of speaker programs.
