The Voucher Scam: Follow the Money (Ep. 2)

The Voucher Scam Podcast

Follow the Money, episode 2 of the Mothers For Democracy Institute's podcast just dropped today and we are pretty darn proud of it.

 

Give us a listen!

 

 In Follow the Money we visit with our old friend, Chris Tackett, who pulls back the curtain on the power and money behind the education voucher push.

Co-hosts Claire + Nichole on their Hot Takes...

  1. Following the money tells a story. In episode 2, we learn who is funding the push for vouchers. Spoiler alert - it's a handful of billionaires.

  2. Billionaires playing in politics isn't new or unique to Texas. What makes the billionaires in Texas stand out is that they are pushing to impose religion onto government. 

  3. In order to make the case for vouchers, you have to first discredit public schools. In some ways, just having this debate is doing irreparable harm to our public schools. And that ultimately hurts students, educators, and in some places, the whole community.

  1. I never tire of hearing stories like Chris's where ordinary citizens do the work to become experts and advocates. It reminds me of how powerful we all are!

  2. We have a billionaire problem in Texas. I do, however, believe that with exposure, their power will diminish as people reclaim their civic power.

  3. We have to be aware of how politics is played these days and name the people and PACs in the shadows pulling the strings: Tim Dunn, Farris & Dan Wilks, Dr. James Leininger, and the Texas Public Policy Foundation — just to name a few.

Mothers for Democracy

Mothers For Democracy / Mothers Against Greg Abbott is the largest coalition dedicated to defeating the extremist MAGA movement in Texas. While we don’t agree on every topic, we all agree the Texas GOP isn’t Texas values.

 

Since 2021, we’ve been helping lead the Democratic resistance in Texas, we’ve organized thousands of local voters and our public issue campaigns have reached millions of Texans in key battleground areas. Now, we’re backed by thousands of Texas parents who are mobilizing in their own neighborhoods to ensure the Texas we hand over to the next generation is better than the one we've inherited. 

 

We’re sick and tired of being linked to a handful of extremist MAGA spokesmen—divisive politicians like Ken Paxton and Ted Cruz. We know it’s going to take all of us to defeat them this election cycle. The power of mothers and others like us means we know we can do it: It’s time for democracy to prevail. 

 

100% of our work is powered by individual donations and our average donation is just $23. We can’t stop until our children have the future they deserve. So this election cycle, we’re taking down Ted Cruz and dozens more of his Texas MAGA cronies. With you by our side, we’ll deliver the kind of leadership everyone living in Texas can be proud of.
