Stop This Blatant Power Grab

To: Lt. Gov. Patrick, Sen. Sparks, Rep. Smithee, Gov. Abbott

From: A constituent in Amarillo, TX

August 8

The Texas redistricting plan is not politics as usual. It is a calculated act of tyranny. By drawing maps that predetermine election outcomes, you are nullifying the consent of the governed and replacing it with the will of a ruling class. This is unlawful disenfranchisement. It is government overreach in its purest form: using state power to silence opposition, entrench incumbents, and erode the fundamental principle that political power flows from the people. Every autocrat in history has used the same playbook. Gerrymandering is not a partisan tactic, it is the early architecture of fascism. You may claim to serve Texas, but this plan serves only the consolidation of power. End it now, or be remembered not as leaders, but as the ones who dismantled democracy in Texas.
