When I export my onshape 3d drawing to an .stl file I lose the text and screw holes. Anyone have any Ideas as to what I can do to remedy this problem.

I would suggest as a quick fix that you turn off all the parts you don't want and boolean everything else together and then export only that. Also, it doesn't look like the text on the front is raised or extruded so that will just disappear.
A bit better fix would be to go back and set more of your extrudes and text features to an add or subtract so you don't end up with so many parts. Maybe I am not understanding your end goals right, but I don't see any need for all the composite features.
