Thank you for contacting these elected officials. The Democrats
are very organized and make many phone calls and show up in large
numbers in person. We must do the same to support our
Republicans.

Please share this email with anyone you think will be willing to
make calls and submit comments.

If you plan to attend our event on Thursday, April 20 on Banning
Gender Modification of Children at the Capitol with our
grassroots coalition partners, bus rides are now FREE from the
DFW area! Sign up here: [link removed].
