Note that I am not the first person to do this. However, while walking through the process others posted I ran into some issues including a virus on one of the sites when trying to download the cover letter. What I tried to do is simplify and keep it safe.
Also, some have suggested the form be filled out with the box for engaging in terrorist activities checked. I suggest sticking to the 2 boxes I have checked which can be supported with the information provided by csgv.org.
Fun facts about our Texas Attorney General, Ken Paxton.
on August 3, 2015, in Paxton's first year in office, he became the first Texas Attorney General in 32 years to be indicted.
He still hasn't gone to trial, and it's not supposed to start until after the 2018 election.

Texas AG Ken Paxton has been under indictment since 2015 for three felony charges- 2 for securities fraud and 1 for failing to register with securities regulators.
The punishment is up to life in prison and yet he hasn't spent a day in prison yet.
I've been looking at polls, reading articles and watching the news trying to wrap my brain around the huge disconnect between Democrats and Republicans on the issue of immigration, and, more specifically, the taking of children from their families.
1/
I wanted to understand it for my own peace of mind but also to see how candidates should be handling this issue. Is it important to Americans? If not, why not?
According to a recent CBS poll, only 23% of Republicans think reuniting children with parents is a high priority. 2/
When you look at all voters, it’s only 48%, which means less than half of Americans think this is a priority. so we can’t just dismiss this by saying “Republicans are evil.” So, how can this be?
There is a lot of debate about gun violence in schools right now, but I wanted to offer a perspective that may initially come across as insensitive, but I promise you, if you read the entire thread it will, hopefully, in the end, leave you a little relieved.
Let’s start with a question. Why do we care about school shootings?
That might sound like a strange and even callous question but stick with me for a minute before firing off an angry emoji at me or turning CAP LOCKS to stun!
From 2014-2017 there were 1333 mass shootings. Of those 1333 mass shootings “only” 8 were on school grounds. That’s 0.6% of all mass shootings. So, statistically, shouldn’t we focus attention on the other 99.4% of mass shootings?
We're all hearing horror stories about the treatment of migrant children and how 1475 are unaccounted for.
I wanted to find which agency was ultimately responsible for this mess and then do something.
This thread documents my findings along with a call to action.
1/
First, to navigate the various agencies involved in the processing of migrant children.
It starts with the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency which operates under the Department of Homeland Security. ICE officers are who take the kids into custody.
2/
The migrant children are then transferred to the care of the Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR). ORR oversees a network of ORR-funded care providers who are responsible for, among other things, providing shelter and access to legal services.

As a tribute to the classic Monty Python and the Holy Grail, I have put together a Trumped version of it.
Warning: For those who haven't seen the movie some scenes may be meh to you.
Warning 2: Also, for those who haven't seen the movie, you're dead to me!
SCENE 1 – TRUMP AND SWALWELL
[Trump rides up to Swalwell Castle on Devin Nunes]
Trump: It is I, Trump, son of a racist, from the Tower of Trump, King of the Morons, defeater of Justice sovereign of all Russia, and President of the US.
Schiff: And who is that you’re riding?
Trump: This is my trusted patsy, Nunes. We have traveled the length and breadth of the land in search of traitors who will join my administration in DC. I must speak with your lord and master.
Schiff: Lord and master? You realize we still have a Democracy, right?
