A Message from TDP Chair Boyd Richie
Dear Fellow Democrat,
Texas summer is here, and it’s already a scorcher! It’s the perfect time to Turn Up the Heat on Texas Republicans, from the Governor’s rental mansion on over to the State House. We have a real chance this year to take the People’s House back from tone-deaf Republicans whose agendas don’t align with Texans’ priorities.
Help the Texas Democratic Party turn up the heat on House Republicans. Help us raise another $15,000 before our State Democratic Convention on June 25th to spread the word – Texas Democrats offer a real alternative to extreme right-wing policies, and real hope for the future.
Help us Turn Up the Heat on Texas Republican Legislators like Leo Berman from House District 6. Berman is known for pushing hard right policies and was recently quoted saying that President Obama was “God’s punishment on us.” He also joined Debbie Riddle from House District 150 in announcing plans to introduce an Arizona-style immigration bill, adding that he did not “care if we’re racially profiling or not.” And representing House District 144, controversial Republican extremist Ken Legler once spoke vehemently on the House floor against paying into the Texas Veterans Fund, and even voted against installing fire sprinklers and emergency power generators in nursing homes.
These Republicans believe that government doesn’t work – and then, once elected, they prove it. It’s time to throw the bums out. Contribute today to support the Texas Democratic Party in our bid to return common-sense values and honest priorities to our government.
Your support allows the Texas Democratic Party to provide Democratic candidates up and down the ballot with the resources they need to win. Raising $25,000 by June 25th will allow us to fund the Texas voter file, candidate and campaign training, and an experienced full-time Party staff. Contribute today to our efforts to turn Texas blue – and help us put a stop to the reckless and extremist behavior of House Republicans like Riddle, Berman, Legler, and others.
Thank you for all your support and for all you do to Move Texas Forward. We couldn’t do it without you.
Your fellow Democrat,
Boyd L. Richie
Chairman
Texas Democratic Party
