They take away our vote so they can get away with taking our rights… but we can’t let them. Let’s pass the For The People Act. Now. #ForThePeopleAct#txlege
As we reflect today, let us remember:
It was the power of mobilized people who fought for change in 1965 that led LBJ to enact one of the most important bills in our nation's history.
The people have the power again, and Congress must act. Pass the #ForThePeopleAct. #txlege
I have an ask for every follower of mine, and every Texan who wants to see the promise of our democracy fulfilled & protected:
Keep showing up.
I know you're tired, and I know the threat of COVID continues to rage and worry everyone. But we cannot do this without you. 6/7
In his message to Congress 56 years ago, LBJ said:
"At times history and fate meet at a single time in a single place to shape a turning point in man’s unending search for freedom."
So it was 56 years ago in Alabama.
And so it is now in Texas. 1/7
My favorite events to host are the ones that bully @tedcruz!!!!!
Stop what you're doing right now and text "Democracy" to 33339 and make a plan to call your senators every day & tell them to pass the #ForThePeopleAct!
It is time for us to demand that our legislators - even @tedcruz & @JohnCornyn - listen to their voters & vote for the popular #ForThePeopleAct!
Everyone's voices are needed! Text "Democracy" to 33339 to get reminded to get reminded to call our senators every day until they act!
