ALAMO CENOTAPH VICTORY RALLY #NotOneInch

For 3.5 years now This Is Texas Freedom Force has been in a fight against the City of San Antonio (led by District 1 Councilman Roberto Trevino, Mayor Ron Nirenberg) & the GLO led by George P Bush including Alamo CEO Douglas McDonald. See Bush, Trevino, Nirenberg & McDonald wanted to move/remove the Alamo Cenotaph, the empty tomb of our Alamo Defenders, which sits in the exact center of the 1836 Alamo footprint.

The reasons to move this beautiful monument was mostly driven by money, a stepping stone to further their political careers & to rewrite history. Mayor Nirenberg was quoted in 2018 saying “We want to honor both sides” (meaning the tyrannical Mexican Army leader Antonio Lopez De Santa Anna). The Alamo CEO Douglas McDonald has been quoted in 2019 as saying “If the Alamo Defenders weren’t surrounded by the Mexican Army at the Alamo, they would have ran” (like cowards). Smh Councilman Trevino was quoted in 2020 saying several offensive comments like “My dad taught me as a child that the Alamo Defenders were nothing but drunks & they stole the land (Tejas) from Mexico”. He’s also was quoted saying “The 1836 Battle of the Alamo was a myth”. He was also quoted as saying “I want to Reimagine The Alamo to make it more inclusive to all ethnicities & heal the city of San Antonio”. Trevino ignores that fact that many of the names that are written on the Alamo Cenotaph are Tejanos. It wasn’t a bunch of white people fighting again Mexico, there were blacks, whites, Tejanos, Native Americans & other ethnicities that fought at the Battle of the Alamo. The Battle of the Alamo wasn’t fought over race, it was fought for liberty, freedom, our God given rights & Texas.

For 3.5 years This Is Texas Freedom Force (TITFF) attended hundreds of Alamo meetings from Alamo Citizens Advisory Meetings, Alamo Trust Meetings, Alamo City Council Meetings, Alamo Road Show Meetings & more. TITFF meet with countless politicians from city council members, senators, legislators, house members & State Reps trying to win over their support. TITFF coined the hashtag #NotOneInch that was spread across the Internet in Texas, the USA & even other countries. TITFF hosted over 50+ protest, rallies, marches, etc, trying to educate the public of what the GLO & the City of San Antonio had in-store for the Alamo if they got their way. TITFF built a 8ft by 5.6ft double sided three dimensional Alamo that we used as our center piece in parades across Texas handing out fliers telling Texans about the Reimagine The Alamo Plan & how they could help put a stop to the moving of the cenotaph. TITFF lobbied & helped get a plank put on the 2018 Republican Convention which said “Don’t move the Cenotaph”, it was voted on and passed unanimously. TITFF spent thousands of man hours at the Alamo Cenotaph passing out fliers telling Texans what the city & GLO wanted to do to the Alamo Cenotaph. We interviewed hundreds of tourist on their thoughts about moving the cenotaph, all thought it was ridiculous, not 1 person thought it was a good idea. TITFF lead email & phone drives to get the attention of Gov Abbott, LT Gov Dan Patrick, the Texas Historical Commission along with many other politicians for years. TITFF lobbied for & led the push for our Monument Protection Bill in 2017 & 2019 that not only would stop the Cenotaph from being removed, but it protected all historical monuments in Texas that were 40 years old or older. In 2020 TITFF promoted & pushed for Texans to yes on proposition 7 that said “Texans & protect & preserve all historical monuments, artifacts, buildings such as our beloved Alamo Cenotaph the Alamo, and should oppose of any reimagining of the Alamo site. Over 97.5% of conservative Texans voted to leave the Cenotaph Alone & don't move it. #NotOneInch Also in 2020 TITFF had to physically defend the Alamo from rioters & looters. 150 men & women took up arms and held the line in front of the Alamo Chapel as 4,000 BLM & Antifa looters & rioters threatened to burn the Alamo to the ground. This was the 3rd time TITFF had to physically stay over 24 hours at the Alamo, some getting some sleep on break at the foot of the Alamo Cenotaph. We were successful in our defense each time though.

Over the past 3.5 years there’s been a lot of discouraging results, a lot of frustration that the people of Texas where being ignored, and of course a lot of disbelief as verdicts from different committees handed down their verdicts. The San Antonio city council was the first blow the #NotOneInch movement when the councilmen voted 9-2 in favor of moving the cenotaph. The next blow came when the Alamo Citizen Advisory Committee voted to move the Alamo Cenotaph. TITFF President Brandon B & former TITFF Research Director Keri Hillyer were both thrown out of the meeting by Trevino for speaking directly to the committee and telling them they were not listening to the will of Texans. Then the HDRC voted to move the Alamo Cenotaph after hundreds testified to leave the Alamo Cenotaph alone. After each meetings vote the City of San Antonio would gloat & celebrate their win. After years of defeat and injustice handed down by politicians & boards who had been paid off or given sweet deals for their vote, many “patriots” who had stood shoulder to shoulder with us in battle, suddenly lost their appetite to fight for our history or just felt we would never win this battle & gave up. This broke our heart more than anything else, because we are Texans and NEVER SURRENDER NOR RETREAT is the creed a Texan lives by. Many forgot what our own Texas History has taught us, although we might lose a battle here & there, we live to fight another day & the war was far from over. TITFF stayed the course and continued to hold the line. We looked not only to God but Travis, Bowie, Crocket, Seguin & others to guide us in our never surrender nor retreat attitudes. We are Texans and giving up is not in our blood. We continued to fight to protect our beloved Cenotaph & finally our persistence paid off.

NEVER SURRENDER OR RETREAT 

​On Sept 22, 2020, the Texas Historical Commission listened to Texans speak for over 8 hours. Lt Gov Dan Patrick was the first to speak, he said that the project would dishonor the Alamo Defenders. TITFF Directors, Members, Supporters testified to the THC throughout the day saying the same common phrase....NOT ONE INCH!!! The poll the THC put out the week before the meeting ended up repeating exactly what Texans voted on for Prop 7. Two million Texans voted not to move the cenotaph on prop 7. On the THC’s poll it was over 29,000 Texans voted not to move the cenotaph while only a little over 1,200 people voted to move it. In the end the writing was on the wall, the Texas Historical Commission voted 12-2 to NOT MOVE THE ALAMO CENOTAPH!!! THE WILL OF TEXANS WAS HEARD & THE SPIRIT OF SACRIFICE AKA THE ALAMO CENOTAPH WILL CONTINUE TO STAND 60FT TALL HONORING OUR ALAMO DEFENDERS WHO GAVE IT ALL FOR TEXAS! #Victory

​#5- MATT PINA
​
  Matt Piña was born in Texas on August 31, 1986. He attended the University of Texas at San Antonio, earning an associates degree, undergraduate degree, graduate degree and a masters degree in political science. Piña went on to work in political campaigning, as a research assistant, and as an operations director. Matt loves his home city of San Antonio and its many options for recreation, including its parks, music, and overall culture. He is a graduate of Churchill High School, and UTSA. Piña worked full-time while earning his degrees and understands the needs of the average citizen in San Antonio. Matt Pina is a descendent of the Alamo Defender Jose Antonio Manchaca. Manchaca was one of the Defenders that LT Col Travis & Col Bowie told to leave the Alamo with a letter so word would get out. So as soon as Matt Pina saw what the City of San Antonio & George P Bush had planned for the Alamo & the Cenotaph, Matt knew he had to do something. At that point Matt Pina threw his hat in the ring to run against RINO George P Bush & Democrat Miguel Suazo. Unfortunately not enough Texans were awake & paying attention to the fact that George P Bush planned on moving/destroying the Alamo Cenotaph, so Bush ended up winning the race by name recognition & straight party voting. But Matt Pina, who ran as a libertarian, got more votes in a fully contested race than any other libertarian has ever gotten in the history of Texas. That Texas blood line in Matt Pina kept whispering in his ear “NEVER SURRENDER OR RETREAT”. That Texan attitude & spirit in Matt pushed him to throw his hat in the ring once again. There was only two partners in the Reimagine The Alamo Masterplan (The State of Texas led by Bush & the City of San Antonio led by Nirenberg & Trevino). So Matt Pina ran against San Antonio Mayor Ron Nirenberg. Sadly, only 11% of registered voted in the election. Matt Pina joined This Is Texas Freedom Force in 2018 & continued to fight against the moving/destruction of the Alamo Cenotaph, speaking at City Council meetings, rallies, and helped TITFF along the way. Matt even spoke at the Texas Historical Commission Meeting with other TITFF members.

#7- LAMAR HENRY
 
​Lamar Henry aka “Rocky” is a 74 year old Vietnam/Army Veteran & he’s been serving as our Vice President of This Is Texas Freedom Force for 3.5 years. Don’t let his age fool you though, he is as tough as railroad ties. After his honorable discharge from the US Army, Lamar went on to work for NASA in Houston, Texas until he retired. Today Lamar runs and partially owns a LTC training class (Yorktown Fast Firearms). When he’s now running a LTC class or working on This Is Texas Freedom Force stuff, you can catch him climbing mountains (not hills) mountains or you can catch him at the football stadium climbing up & down the stairs with 40lbs/50lbs of rocks in his backpack. All the pictures at TITFF events, all the videos of Alamo Advisory Committee meetings, City Council meetings, event videos (that aren’t live on Facebook) are all thanks to our VP Lamar Henry. He’s a force to be reckoned with on any AO & he’s not afraid to tell you how it is & how fast to get there. Lamar was quoted in 2018 at City Hall telling all the San Antonio City Council “I GOT 27 MORE YEARS TO COME UP HERE AND CALL YOU OUT ON YOUR FRAUD, WASTEFUL SPENDING & FILE STATE COMPLAINTS AGAINST YOU CROOKS”! Lamar has been fighting to save the Alamo Cenotaph with TITFF many many years. He even moved to San Antonio for 5 months when we were down a man so he could help keep an eye on the Alamo Cenotaph and be present 6 days a week to collect signatures to recall Roberto Trevino. Lamar has attended every TITFF event/rally/function that we have hosted since 2017. Lamar Henry was 2nd in command of Camp Delta during TITFF's Hurricane Harvey Relief effort. He helped transport thousands of dollars in supplies to Texans in Port Aransas, he drove the dump truck to help us remove part of the destruction and he was out there working with his hands picking up pillars and large objects that needed to be moved. Lamar is a valued VP at TITFF and we couldn't do it without him.

​7- RAMON GARZA
​
Ramon Garza is a Marine through & through. He’s proud of his Native America Heritage (Lipan Apache) & Texas. In 2017 Ramon joined This Is Texas Freedom Force in our fight to save the Alamo Cenotaph, because of his hard work and always attending events & helping with the hard work, in 2018 Ramon was promoted to TITFF’s San Antonio Outreach Director. Ramon is exactly what every person thinks of when you say the word Marine, rough, tough, not afraid to get his hands dirty & a true leader. When TITFF defended the Alamo against 4,000 BLM/Antifa rioters and looters who threatened to burn the Alamo to the ground, one of the BLM thugs thought he try and pick on Ramon because he was the shortest man on the line. The BLM thug, who looked to be 6ft2inches, 200lbs, took a full swing at Ramon and hit him in the face knocking his Marine hat off. Ramon never even swayed a inch. Ramon caught his Marine hat before it hit the ground, put his hat back on, smiled at the BLM thug, then started to charge the thug. Next thing you know that BLM thug started running to the back of the crowd like he was Tyson Gay who holds the 100 meter dash record (9.67 seconds). He’s lucky that Ramon is just as much level headed as he is strong, because if Ramon had caught him.....well you know what would happen. Ramon has spent countless hours (adding up to months) of time spent watching over the Alamo Cenotaph. Ramon is a Texan through and through and we all appreciate the hard Ramon has done for our Texas history. Ramon has spoke at hundreds of meetings concerning the Alamo Cenotaph whether they were here in San Antonio or across the state in Texas. Ramon & TITFF President are always together because he works just as hard if not harder than Brandon on TITFF’s missions. Ramon speaks the truth, is loyal as they come, and a Texan we can all be proud of. Ramon is another reason why TITFF has accomplished what we have to date.

RANDY BEALE

    Randy Beale is a proud Texan & TITFF’s Houston's Outreach Director. Randy has been a Texas Delegate for 6 years. He has worked putting up & taking down firework stands for Texans across the state. Before that he was a Hot Shot Delivery Driver. Randy has been married for 38 years, he has 2 kids and 2 grandkids. Randy Beale has been working on saving the Alamo Cenotaph with TITFF since 2017. Randy has spent many miles and many hours on the road driving to San Antonio to attend City Council Meeting concerning the Alamo as well as driving to Austin, Tx to help TITFF lobby for a monument protection bill that would help save the Alamo Cenotaph. A lot of people don't know this but the same night 150 TITFF members & supporters were at the Alamo protecting it from 4,000 rioters & looters, Randy gathered a team in Houston and they set out to protect San Jacinto that same night. HPD had their hands full with the 60,000 rioters in downtown Houston, so the monument needed to be protected. A BLM/Antifa piolet car drove by the San Jacinto Monument several times during the early hours of the morning. Finally, around 4am in the morn HPD showed up at the San Jacinto Monument and relieved Randy and his fellow Texans. They told PD about the piolet Capitol Building (because DPS was protecting those monuments), the Alamo (because TITFF was there protecting it), and San Jacinto (because Randy and his guys were there to protect it). Randy is a honest and loyal man and we thank God everyday that he is there heading up our TITFF Houston Chapter.
