Dear Friend of the ACLU of Texas,

The ACLU nationwide membership conference is fast approaching -- June 8-10 in Washington, D.C. -- and we want to make sure that Texas is well represented.  That's right: we want as many Texas ACLU members as possible to attend this year's conference!

That's because this membership conference is important.  It is important for three reasons.

1. Dozens of renowned experts and celebrities will be on hand to discuss the most urgent civil rights and individual liberties issues facing our nation -- including three (count 'em, three) Justices of the United States Supreme Court!
2. ACLU members will lobby Congress.  Meetings are being scheduled with Congressional and Senatorial offices so that ACLU members can speak with their elected officials about the ACLU's agenda of liberty and justice for all people.
3. Texas will be in the spotlight!  In a special conference feature called, "The Hero Next Door," we'll tell the stories of Texas advocates, activists and clients involved in a variety of immigration and border issues.

So pack your bags and head on up to Washington for our membership conference.  Don't forget to pack your Texas braggin' rights - your ACLU of Texas affiliate is proud to be among the largest and most effective in the nation.  Stand with us, as Texans, as we celebrate all that American freedom can offer, and as we show everybody that Texas is ACLU country!

See y'all in Washington!
