The Aztexan Store
A significant portion of the proceeds (50-100%) of all sales goes to support the Nothing But Nets anti-malaria campaign. Here's why. To date, I've donated more than $175 from these sales. At $10 each, that's 17+ lifesaving mosquito-proof bed nets.

100% of proceeds of these items ($1 per shirt or sticker pack) go to help save lives by preventing the spread of malaria with insecticide-treated bed nets through Nothing But Nets.

The Battle of Gonzales was the first military engagement of the Texas Revolution, often referred to afterward as the "Lexington of Texas".
It was fought near the Mexican Texas town of Gonzales on October 2, 1835 between rebellious Texian settlers and a detachment of Mexican army troops. The Mexican army had been sent to recover a small cannon that the settlers had been given to help protect them from frequent Comanche raids. When the hundred Mexican dragoons showed up to reclaim the weapon, they met this feisty flag (and 140 determined Texian volunteer fighters).
See Wikipedia's Battle of Gonzales entry for more details.
