Battleground Texas: Republicans forgot about you

September 4, 2013 By Egberto Willies

Battleground Texas

Republicans have had their way in Texas for too long, and it shows.

The GOP rejected the Medicaid expansion outright. Republican leaders willfully underfunded our public schools. And Greg Abbott and friends have certainly succeeded in yielding to right-wing extremists — last month, Abbott went so far as to thank a supporter who attacked Wendy Davis with an offensive slur.

But through all of this, they’ve forgotten about one thing: you.

There’s a big fundraising deadline at the end of September, and it’s time to confront the Texas GOP the best way we know how — by organizing. They may have a big money advantage right now, but we can always beat them on the ground if we have enough resources to do our thing.

Make your first donation to Battleground Texas — give $5 or more today.

Texas is not really a red state — it’s just that our voting population is very different from our actual population. Every day, Democrats just like you are giving to Battleground Texas and joining this effort to make our voices heard at the ballot boxes.

But it will take all of us digging deep to reverse the course of our great state. Your support will help put talented organizers on the ground in neighborhoods from the Panhandle down to the Valley and everywhere in between.

Greg Abbott and the Texas GOP have underestimated the power of the grassroots movement we’ve built together. Let’s start September right and show them we’re stronger than ever.

Chip in just $5 or more right now: https://donate.battlegroundtx.com/Donate-Now

Thank you,
Cliff Walker
Political Director
Battleground Texas
