Friend, this week, the Texas Legislature will vote on amendments that will decide how the historic state budget surplus will be spent. Â
And instead of using this $33 Billion surplus of taxpayer money to help hard working families -- Texas Republicans are using this moment to sneak in amendments that advance their far-right, extremist agenda. Chip in $3 now to show you’re in the fight with us!  Friend, Texas House Republicans have filed amendments that will use taxpayer dollars to: -
Defund Diversity, Equity and Inclusion offices and hiring practices for any state-funded facilities
- Send state-funded, extremist propaganda to Texans’ doorsteps about banning same-sex marriage, promoting deadly permitless carry laws, and uplifting violent anti-trans opinions
-
Install GOP-controlled bad-faith “oversight” of public schools and universities and their staff that make it easier to ban books and harder to teach the truthÂ
Not a single dollar spent on a raise for our dedicated public school teachers. Not a dime for Medicaid expansion. Not a penny to address the kitchen table issues affecting Texas families. Â
But Friend, our Texas House Democrats have been working overtime to shield working Texans from these useless culture wars and put forward amendments that actually make a difference in our daily lives such as: -
Banning the defunding of our public schools by prohibiting all private school voucher programs
- Increasing Texas teacher salaries by $10,000, and a salary increase for librarians, counselors and nurses
- Meaningful cost of living adjustments for our retired teachers
-
Funding statewide voter education programs, including Voter ID education
Texas Democrats are fighting hard to improve the lives of Texas families, but we can’t do it without your help. Will you chip in $10 now to help us defeat Republican extremists and deliver for everyday Texans? |
