Topic: Life After Harvey
Discussed by Kevin Roberts
with Roberts for TX 126 www.RobertsTX126.com
Kevin Roberts represents Texas District 126 in Northwest Harris County. Today, Representative Roberts will be discussing several issues regarding “life after the flood”.
Questions/Issues Discussed:
The majority of Kevin Roberts’ constituents live in unincorporated Harris County. Many of these homes were damaged during Hurricane Harvey. What kind of help did they receive?
Should school districts that opened their doors to feed, clothe, and offer shelter to victims be reimbursed by FEMA?
How did churches and small groups of volunteers help after Harvey?
After all their years of experience, why can’t larger groups like FEMA, the Salvation Army, and the Red Cross get their act together?
Are there still some huge projects that need attention, but no one is tackling them because they are too large?
There are many individuals and small business owners who still need help – badly. Are they becoming depressed? How can we help?
Should President Donald Trump appoint a Disaster Relief Commission to specifically address these issues?

Title: Saving Texas Kids
Topic: Foster Care
Discussed by Kevin Roberts
with Roberts for TX 126 www.RobertsTX126.com
Representative Kevin Roberts has introduced two bills (HB871 and HB872) which would improve the current foster care system in Texas and offer more aid to not only foster/adoptive parents, but to birth parents, as well.
Questions/Issues Discussed:
Are Texas children at risk to suffer from abuse and/or neglect in the current foster care system?
Is the CPS system across Texas stretched to the breaking point? US District Judge Janice Jack has declared that the Texas foster care system is “unconstitutional” and has become an “emergency issue”.
How can churches and other non-profits come alongside a parent or parents and help them before a child suffers abuse and/or neglect?
One part of Representative Robert’s bill HB871 would allow struggling birth parents to approach churches and non-profits seeking help without CPS involvement. How would that work?
How can we all help? Kevin asks everyone to call their state Representatives to encourage them to pass HB871 and HB872.
If you have a personal story concerning the Texas foster care system or
suggestions on how churches and non-profits can help birth parents through tough
times, please contact us
here.

Title: Texas CPS: Preventative Services
Topic: Texas Child Protective Services
Discussed by Kevin Roberts
with Roberts for TX 126 www.RobertsTX126.com
Part 1 of 3
Why is there such a big turnover within the Texas Department of Child Protective Services?
Recently, Commissioner Hank Whitman, with the DFPS, offered Governor Abbott a ten-point plan to turn the agency around.
Candidate for State Representative District 126 Kevin Roberts most
recent blog post centers on this very important and delicate issue. Listen in as Kevin discusses the details.
Questions/Issues Discussed:
Are Texas Children at risk for neglect and abuse?
How often are children removed from the care of their parent, parents, and/or legal guardians?
Kevin discusses a ruling from the 5th Circuit Court. In the Federal District Court, Judge Janis Graham Jack stated, “The state violated the Constitution by keeping children in an unfunded and poorly-run system where rape, abuse, medication, and instability are the norm.” That this type of abuse occurs within the foster care system in Texas is a disgrace. An absolute disgrace.
The turnover rate for CPS workers is appalling. This, in turn, results in too many children who need the care the most being overlooked. How will Kevin fix the problem if elected?
NOTE: Kevin shares why this issue is so near and dear to his heart near the end of this first segment. You can hear the passion – and compassion – he has for children in his voice. Listen in.

Discussed by Kevin Roberts

What are some of the most important areas which need to be addressed
concerning the foster care system in Texas?
How should these pivotal areas be approached?
Are too few parents (even the “good” ones) given the proper information before
or after having a child? Should doctors, hospitals, and community service
programs offer more free programs to first-time parents concerning “what to
expect when you’re expecting”?

Title: Part 3 of 3 - Texas CPS: Preventative Services
Topic: Texas Child Protective Services
Discussed by Kevin Roberts
with Roberts for TX 126 www.RobertsTX126.com
Questions/Issues Discussed:
How should the Texas Legislature address this issue in the next session? Kevin
believes prevention is key and he explains how, if elected, he will work hard to
ensure children are safe.
“The answers are not found in Austin,” he states boldly. “They are
found in the local communities.” Listen in as Kevin discusses a bill passed
in Indiana which he plans to use as a model here in Texas.
Should more faith-based non-profits become involved in the foster care system in
Texas?
It is easy to become involved and make a difference in a child’s life. You do
not have to commit to being a foster parent, but there are certainly ways you
can help. Listen in as Kevin offers some suggestions.

Discussed by Kevin Roberts

Part 3 of 3
Fact: 4,330 Texas Law Enforcement Officers were assaulted in the line of duty in 2014.

Questions/Issues Discussed:
Do we need more protections for our first responders?
Should we demand truth from the MSM when there is a shooting involving a police officer?
Some people have criticized Kevin, saying he is singling out a specific group for special protections. In response, he says: “I am not [in favor of] creating special protection classes… But when a vehicle exists that we can utilize in the law by making a simple enhancement that shows our police officers that we care… I will advocate for it.” Listen in as he explains this statement.
Does the public really know and understand the dangers police officers face every day?
Kevin has begun drafting the “Law Enforcement Protection Act”. Why has he started this when he hasn’t even been elected to represent District 126 (yet)?

FACT: Over 600,000
crimes have been committed by illegal aliens in Texas and over 175,000 illegal
aliens were booked into county jails in Texas from 2008-2014.
Kevin Roberts is Candidate for Texas State Representative District 126. He can
be found [here]. He is very focused on this issue. He feels
very strongly that Texans need to protect Texans. Since the Federal Government
is not doing their job, we must step up to the plate.
Kevin Roberts says that people are fearful and they shouldn’t have to be. He and
other concerned activists have started a new initiative called “Grow Northwest”
http://growhoustonnw.com/ He explains how this committee is helping businesses
and families feel safer, while at the same time advancing the local economy. It
takes a community helping one another to really grow.
Kevin also discusses how the naturalization process in the United States has
become outrageously long and difficult – taking up to 20 years in some cases!
This is just unacceptable and why so many people enter our country illegally and
never leave. Why would they?

Title: Presidential Primary Primer - Part 2
Topic: Presidential Primary Primer
Discussed by Kevin Roberts
with Roberts for TX 126 www.RobertsTX126.com
Less than a year
from now, the people of America will have chosen the Republican Presidential
Nominee for 2016. Yes, it’s true! Campaign season will be in full swing before
we know it.
Right now, a slew of Republican Presidential candidates have thrown their name
in the hat. Kevin Roberts is a conservative activist from Northwest Harris
County. He presumes there will be even more by the time January 1, 2016 rolls
around. How are we to know who to vote for?
Kevin believes that people should start sooner than later, vetting candidates
and identifying their positions on key issues. Waiting until the night before
the election is too late. Start now! He hopes that candidates will utilize their
money and time really discussing the issues, versus slinging mud and rocks at
the others.
What role will Texas play? The Texas Primary is currently set for the first
Tuesday in March 2016. This is the first time Texas will join six other states –
Georgia, Virginia, Florida, Massachusetts, Oklahoma, and Tennessee – for “Super
Tuesday”. The outcome of Super Tuesday usually designates who the nominees will
be, in both the Republican and Democrat Primaries.
NOTE: There is a bill currently in the Texas House to move the Texas
Primary to January 26, 2016, but that is not likely to pass. Listen in as Kevin
explains why moving the Primary to January would be detrimental in many aspects.
Kevin also discusses why supporting your favorite candidate financially is so
vital. It is a sad fact, but money usually wins. Just because a candidate is
popular and people recognize their name, doesn’t necessarily make them a
shoe-in.
However, Kevin says, “It’s going to be interesting to see how the candidates
strategically position themselves in each state and the time they spend there.”
Why does he think that one-on-one time will play a more significant role than
money spent?
Listen in!
