John, we need to make sure that you saw this:
Recent polling shows that Beto is on the rise and that he has narrowed Abbott's lead. 49% of Texans agree that Abbott is taking our state in the wrong direction!
We need this grassroots team to step up if we're going to close the gap and defeat Abbott once and for all. So, we have to ask: Will you give your first $3 donation to keep up this momentum and eliminate Abbott's lead in the polls?
Not everyone is happy to see Beto gaining on Abbott though. In fact, one of Abbott's biggest mega-donors has launched a direct attack against Beto in an attempt to try and silence him and stop our movement.
A billionaire, top energy executive, and Abbott mega-donor is SUING Beto for spreading the truth about this governor’s failure to protect Texans from last February's deadly grid failure.
These are the facts, John:
→ During last year's preventable grid failure, energy corporations made $11 billion while hundreds died and millions more suffered in the cold.
→ The top executives of these very same price-gouging corporations turned around and gave Greg Abbott $4.6 million in campaign checks after he let them off the hook and failed to put people over profits. One top executive cut Abbott a $1 million check.
→ Since launching this campaign in November, Beto has been spreading the truth about this, demanding accountability, and fighting to put people over profits.
It's clear that one of Abbott’s top donors is trying to distract Beto from this race, drain our resources, and keep Beto off the road. But we won't be silent as Texans get screwed. Beto is committed to exposing Abbott's corruption and fighting for justice for those hurt by Abbott's incompetence.
We won't back down from this fight — Texans are counting on us.
Thank you,
Beto for Texas
