Friend, this week, the Texas Legislature will vote on amendments that will decide how the historic state budget surplus will be spent.
And instead of using this $33 Billion surplus of taxpayer money to help hard working families -- Texas Republicans are using this moment to sneak in amendments that advance their far-right, extremist agenda. Chip in $3 now to show you’re in the fight with us! [[link removed]]
Friend , Texas House Republicans have filed amendments that will use taxpayer dollars to:
*
Defund
Diversity,
Equity
and
Inclusion
offices
and
hiring
practices
for
any
state-funded
facilities
*
Send
state-funded,
extremist
propaganda
to
Texans’
doorsteps
about
banning
same-sex
marriage,
promoting
deadly
permitless
carry
laws,
and
uplifting
violent
anti-trans
opinions
*
Install
GOP-controlled
bad-faith
“oversight”
of
public
schools
and
universities
and
their
staff
that
make
it
easier
to
ban
books
and
harder
to
teach
the
truth
Not a single dollar spent on a raise for our dedicated public school teachers. Not a dime for Medicaid expansion. Not a penny to address the kitchen table issues affecting Texas families.
But Friend , our Texas House Democrats have been working overtime to shield working Texans from these useless culture wars and put forward amendments that actually make a difference in our daily lives such as:
*
Banning
the
defunding
of
our
public
schools
by
prohibiting
all
private
school
voucher
programs
*
Increasing
Texas
teacher
salaries
by
$10,000
,
and
a
salary
increase
for
librarians,
counselors
and
nurses
*
Meaningful
cost
of
living
adjustments
for
our
retired
teachers
*
Funding
statewide
voter
education
programs
,
including
Voter
ID
education
