It took an hour due to the long line, but it’s a small price to pay. I’d crawl over broken glass to vote against every single one of these Republicans.

Just early voted in Texas! I am one of the millions of Latinos who are dissatisfied with the Republicans and the Trump administration. Voted Blue up and down the ballot. 👏💙

I’m honored to be endorsed by the League of Independent Voters of Texas. Texans across this state are ready for change, because this fight is not about which political party you belong to. This fight is to decide who Texas belongs to, the people or the billionaires. Let’s bring it home for the people in November.

Think about what we’ve lost in the 30 years of Republican rule in Texas: -Adequately funded public schools. -Affordable property taxes. -THC businesses and products. -Dozens of rural hospitals. -Privacy while driving (Flock cameras). -Academic freedom in higher ed.

-Bodily autonomy for women making reproductive healthcare decisions. -Local governance of school districts with state takeovers.

The maximum amount an individual can donate to a candidate is $3500. Elon Musk just donated $7 million to one Republican, because Citizens United gave a loophole to billionaires to buy elections. Overturn Citizens United.

Most selfish American generation of all time - entirely forgot that some 72 year old 40 years ago was contributing property tax so their own kids could go to a good public school/have a fire department/police/etc. Now, 40 years later, they can't fathom contributing to the same.

“I’m old. I’ve paid my home off,” said Ray Warner, a 72-year-old Akron resident. “Why would I pay property tax?” Across the country, homeowners are asking the same question and revolting against property taxes at a scale not seen in a half century. politico.com/news/magazine/2…

Do You Really Own Your Home? A Tax Revolt Says No.

The argument that property taxes make Americans renters in their own houses has fueled the biggest anti-tax uprising in half a century, and local governments are scrambling.
