John —
This is what Greg Abbott promised us in November:
[1]Abbott: I can guarantee the lights will stay on.
But this is what Greg Abbott said yesterday during a meeting about the
approaching winter storm:
[ [link removed]- ]Headline: Texas Gov. Greg Abbott says no one can guarantee there won't
be planned power outages...
Greg Abbott lied to us. He lied because after last year’s crisis killed
700 loved ones and left millions out in the cold, he let corporate
interests buy him off so he wouldn’t do anything to prevent the power grid
from failing again. And he thinks he can get away with it. We can’t let
him.

you give $3 or more to Beto right now to send Greg Abbott a
message after he publicly admitted to lying about the power grid? Donate
to show Abbott: We need a Governor who tells the truth and keeps the
lights on.

During last year’s power grid failure, gas companies raked in $11 billion
by robbing Texans while families froze.
Then, Abbott got $4.6 million in campaign donations from top executives at
those very companies. So instead of passing laws to fix the grid, Abbott
focused on protecting those corporate profits by passing the price tag of
the grid failure on to working Texans. It’s called the Abbott Tax, and it
means higher monthly utility bills.
Now, the coldest weather of the year is approaching. And even though
Texans are paying as much as $50 more per month on their utility bill, our
power isn’t guaranteed to stay on.
It’s corruption, plain and simple. Greg Abbott is failing the people of
Texas. We need to fire him and elect a governor who will keep the lights
on.
John, our
campaign is putting in the work every day to defeat Abbott in November.
Beto is about to launch a 2,100 mile statewide drive to commemorate the
anniversary of the power grid failure and hold Abbott accountable for his
corruption. But everything we plan to do — travel, knocking doors, hiring
staff — is 100% funded by supporters like you.
[ [link removed]- ]If you can, donate now to help fire Greg Abbott. Every dollar counts.
Let’s unite around a brighter future for Texas where we finally fix the
grid, bring utility costs down, and keep the lights on so this deadly
crisis never happens again.
In solidarity,
Beto for Texas
