Join True Texas Project and Senator Bob Hall in the viewing of “Grid Down Power Up”. The US power grid is at grave risk of shutting down completely. An orchestrated physical attack, electromagnetic pulse attack (EMP), cyber-attack, or geomagnetic disturbance (GMD) could shut down our electricity grid for as long as one calendar year or longer. Our electric utility companies have not implemented sufficient precautions to protect our grid, yet they were aware of the dangers. Our state and federal officials are aware of the threat a shutdown poses, yet they haven’t passed any legislation that deals with the threat. Come and watch this documentary to better understand this threat, why it has become a threat, and how we can fix this problem. Then, stick around for our Q&A with Bob Hall at the end!
We will also be hearing from Bunni Pounds, the president and founder of Christians Engaged.

About Bob Hall:
Senator Bob Hall, father of four boys and husband to Kay Hall, taught his family the importance of faith, family and hard work. Senator Hall graduated from The Citadel in Charleston, South Carolina with a degree in Electrical Engineering and received a Regular Commission as a 2nd Lieutenant in the US Air Force. While a cadet at the Citadel he received numerous awards for leadership. He was the only Air Force Cadet selected to be a Battalion Commander and was awarded the coveted Wade Hampton saber as the graduating cadet who had contributed the most to the Citadel during the four years he was a cadet, and was listed in “Who’s Who In American Colleges” his Senior year. Upon graduation, Bob began his active duty as a Systems Engineer working to develop the Minuteman Missile System during the Cold War at Norton AFB in California, where he achieved the rank of Captain.
After the Air Force he worked in the Aerospace industry as a systems engineer and business development manager. In 1982 he left the corporate world and began working as an independent proposal consultant to aerospace and defense corporations. Then in 1984 he formed his own company, Professional Proposal Management, Inc.
A compelling sense of duty, shaped by his military service, business experience, and love for this country, drives him to leave behind the legacy of a patriotic servant for his children and grandchildren. Envisioning their futures compelled him to become actively involved in the state’s political process and strongly believes it is time to stand in the gap for our children, our liberties and our future.
About Bunni Pounds:
Bunni Pounds is the President of Christians Engaged. This statewide non-partisan ministry awakens, motivates,
educates, and empowers believers in Jesus Christ: to pray for their nation and elected officials regularly, to vote in
every election to impact their culture, and to engage their hearts in some form of civic education or engagement for
the wellbeing of America.
In just two years – the Christians Engaged team served 70 churches in Texas, had over 270 speaking engagements,
and produced articles, classes, prayer calls and podcasts to educate the Body of Christ on the importance of their
biblical call to America. They are gaining strength in 2022 launching a new team in Pennsylvania, taking their “On-
Ramp to Civic Engagement” seminar on the road, building a national annual conference for the awakening church, and
building out more online offerings to educate the church on their civic duties and the connection to biblical values.
On May 18, 2021, after 18 months of operation – Christians Engaged was denied by the IRS their 501(c)(3) tax-exempt
status because the IRS noted in writing – “biblical teachings” are “typically affiliated with the Republican Party.” Bunni
appealed this decision for not only Christians Engaged but all Christian organizations that this would affect in the
nation. With the help of First Liberty Institute, they won a reversal in 21 days after 3 Fox News appearances, a letter
from Members of Congress, and huge national attention on the case.
As a political consultant by profession – Bunni spent over 15 years running the campaigns of Members of Congress
around Texas. She started her career as the campaign manager for U.S. Congressman Jeb Hensarling then launched
her own firm, Bunni Pounds & Associates building a top Texas consulting firm with nine associates and thirty-one
clients.
Her life radically changed in 2018 – when out of the blue – Bunni felt called to run of her former bosses’ seat for
Congress. In the end – she made it through a field of eight primary candidates into the Republican Primary runoff but
came up slightly short. During the 2018 primary season, she raised more money than any GOP open seat candidate in
the State of Texas, became the only person in the entire United States who gained the endorsement of Vice President
Mike Pence, and out of 46 candidates became the only Texas Republican woman to make the runoff election.
Bunni’s experience doesn’t just stop at politics. She has been bi-vocational and active in Christian ministry since she
was 16. Bunni is a Bible teacher and motivational speaker who has authored 5 books, published worship songs, and
church-planted with her husband Tim for over 10 years. Speaking to the church and the culture, she is a regular
contributor to The Stream and has also been published in the Wall Street Journal and Charisma Magazine among
others.
She has a Bachelor of Arts & Sciences degree in Political Science from Dallas Baptist University and an associate
degree in Theology from Christ for the Nations Institute in Dallas.
Married for 26 years to Tim Pounds, they have 2 young adult sons, Israel and Ben, and two daughters-in-law -Teodora
(from Romania) and Giulia (from Brazil).
Bunni loves to motivate people to pray, vote, and engage their hearts to impact America and the world. She believes
that people are called to walk in intimacy with Jesus and be salt and light to a dying world.
