Greg Abbott just cut funding for the Texas legislature

He did it, Jack xxxxxx: Gov. Greg Abbott just cut all funding for the Texas Legislature - one of the most brazen attacks on democracy in modern Texas history. What this means: As of September 1st, hard-working staff -- everyone from janitors to nonpartisan researchers -- won…

FWD: Hold Texas Republicans accountable for another avoidable mass shooting

Last weekend's deadly shooting in Austin was an avoidable tragedy. Reckless gun laws passed by Republican legislators make it far too easy to obtain deadly weapons. We need to hold those responsible accountable, by booting every single Texas Republican who supports these…

Support organizing efforts on the ground in Texas

Jack xxxxxx, Too often in politics, there’s a belief that the only way to win is to buy expensive TV ads with nasty attacks on your opponent. This belief is wrong. And if Texas is going to turn blue as we hope it does, the real work will be done by local organizers who figh…

Another avoidable mass shooting

Jack xxxxxx, One person has died, and 13 people were injured in yet another mass shooting early Saturday morning in downtown Austin. It’s another tragedy in a long list of tragedies that have hit Texas in recent decades. Make no mistake: This tragedy was avoidable. But it …

FWD: Don't let Abbott build Trump's wall

Did you see the email we sent you yesterday about Greg Abbott's plan to build Trump's border wall? Not only is the wall a racist symbol of Trump and Abbott's bigotry, but it's also completely unnecessary -- a massive waste of our tax dollars. Greg Abbott doesn't deserve to …

Stop Greg Abbott from using our tax dollars to build Trump’s wall”

Jack xxxxxx, Yesterday, Gov. Greg Abbott announced that he will use your tax dollars to take over the construction of Trump’s border wall. Instead of helping our state emerge from the pandemic, supporting unemployed Texans, or expanding health care access, he’s spending ou…

Governor Allen West? We need to get serious about stopping him now.

Jack xxxxxx, Allen West is considering joining the GOP primary for Governor of Texas. If he wins, he would make the current governor, Greg Abbott, look reasonable and moderate. Boot Texas Republicans is committed to destroying the GOP’s control over the Texas legislature a…
