Hi John,
1.5 billion.
I know that we’re almost becoming immune to big numbers these days, but still …
$1.5 billion.
How many students could that help?
How many failing schools could be put on the right track?
How many …
Well, never mind all that. Texas House Republicans think the best use of $1.5 billion is to build a border wall.
I remember when a different Republican said he would build a border wall. So for those who think a border wall is a good idea, rather than a racist, anti-immigrant dog whistle, maybe that guy should pay for it.
For those of us living here in reality, $1.5 billion could do a lot to help our state — starting with public education.
Texas House Republicans have a rabid base to answer to, so maybe they have to propose stupid ideas like this. The rest of us, however — the majority of Texans — don’t have to go along.
We here at Mothers Against Greg Abbott aren’t going along. And we need your help to fight back.
Can you contribute today so that we can keep leading the way in opposing really dumb ideas hatched by ultra-conservative Texas Republicans?
