Hi,

Can you believe this?

Republican Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick suggested that seniors are willing to die during the coronavirus epidemic to "save the economy."

You read that right.

Seniors should be willing to die because of the coronavirus to save the economy.

Here's what I have to say: The lives of our families, our friends, and our communities have no dollar amount. Healthcare is a human right.

Republicans are not here to protect you or your family. The only thing they are concerned about is enriching themselves and their stock portfolios. They would see our family members die to bail out wall street.

I'm not a grandparent myself, but I've raised and mentored legions of young people (including helping about 100 high school and college kids run for national delegate right now). And I want like hell for all of them to have a bright, safe and healthy future -- personally and for the economy, they'll inherit.

If you are a grandparent or you have a grandparent, we want to hear from you. We are collecting stories from Texans who have been impacted by the coronavirus outbreak. We want to amplify Texans' voices across our state, because now more than ever, we need to restore our sense of community.

So, I have to ask: Will you share your coronavirus experience with us? It's so important that we drown out the Republican recklessness with real, human stories. Tell us your story:

Share your story

Let's fight like hell,

Glen Maxey
Former State Representative

P.S. I'm a senior, Dan. If I do die, I'm leaving my fortunes as they are to the Texas Democratic Party to help remove out of touch right-wingers from office. And I'm changing it right now to target Dan Patrick and Donald Trump first.
