Abilene. Austin. College Station. Corpus Christi. Killeen. Laredo. Nacogdoches. Victoria. Witchita Falls. Waco.
Each of these Texas cities has had five or fewer available ICU beds because of the COVID-19 surge at some point in the last week.
And now, according to a new CBS report, more than 90% of ICU beds across the entire state of Texas are full.
Gov. Abbott's failures are causing our state to sink into crisis. He must be held accountable. Can you chip in $25 or more to help us defeat Greg Abbott?
Our state has become an embarrassment to the nation. We deserve better than this. Let's fight for an end to this madness.

Subject: A massive ICU bed shortage because of Greg Abbott's failures

Jack xxxxxx,
It’s now been more than six months since Gov. Greg Abbott claimed that Texas had reached “herd immunity” and that it was safe to reopen the state.
Now, for the first time since February, over 10,000 Texans are hospitalized for COVID-19. Just 368 ICU beds remain open for all 29 million Texans. And major Texas cities have 5 or fewer available ICU beds.
No one has done more to spread COVID-19 in Texas than Greg Abbott. He is using taxpayer money to sue cities and states that use public health measures to stop the spread of this disease. It’s shameful.
Greg Abbott has failed -- and he doesn’t deserve another four years as governor. But we need your help to defeat him in 2022. Can you chip in $25 or more to help us hold him accountable?
Vaccines save lives. Masks save lives. But Greg Abbott puts those lives at risk by keeping schools, governments, and businesses from requiring either.
Gov. Abbott needs to understand that he’s responsible for protecting all of us, not kowtowing to his MAGA base.
Until he does, we’re going to hold him accountable.
Thanks for standing up to him with us.
