Giddy-up, gals - here we come! Rosie is ready to rally Texas-style!

Traveled 472 miles to make it to make it into the Lone Star State - then another 1,100+ miles in Texas, making four stops. Everything is big in Texas, especially the distances!

My VIPs (Very Important Passengers) included NFRW Executive Committee Member (and past Texas Federation President) Jody Rushton and NFRW 1st VP Becky Johnson.

L is for Lubbock, where I held my first Texas rally with the Lubbock Area Republican Women.

These women are united to win, and everyone is determined to keep Texas red - even the Wee-Publicans.

President Carrie Almond was interviewed for Fox34 TV. Check out our coverage here! Thanks to Nitra Barnes and Neva Haney, the club's outgoing and incoming Presidents, for a great welcome!

On to Matt's Rancho Martinez Restaurant in Roanoke (just outside of Fort Worth). It was fun joining the recently chartered Texas Strong Republican Women for their monthly meeting (even if I had to wait outside). Beryl Dowd, TFRW Deputy President, made a special presentation on how to talk to (and persuade) undecided voters.

Guess who rated a special escort from the Denton County Constables? Love law enforcement! Oh, and Reagan made a new friend - this young pup is in training to be a service dog for a veteran!

The San Antonio Republican Women arranged a stop at Cong. Will Hurd's campaign headquarters.

The fabulous crowd was also filled with VIPs - former NFRW President Dianne Thompson (left), Texas RNC National Committeewoman Toni Anne Dashiell (center) and Congressional Candidate Susan Narvaiz (right). They told me Susan is a member of the New Braunfels Republican Women (you can read all about her in this NFRW Profile)!

Loved seeing all the young children at this "Rosie Stop - oh, and another Rosie!

Wrapped up my Texas tour with a stop at the Westside Victory Center in Houston.

I was excited to meet Cong. John Culberson and add his autograph to my collection.

I also got autographs from Texas Federation President Theresa Kosmoski and former President Carolyn Hodges - and the always enthusiastic Kaye Goolsby.
