An Open Letter

To: Sen. Cornyn, Rep. Castro, Sen. Cruz

From: A constituent in San Antonio, TX

August 3

I strongly urge you to take a firm stand against the blatant gerrymandering of congressional districts unveiled by Texas Republicans. This partisan redistricting proposal is an unacceptable attempt to undermine free and fair elections by redrawing maps solely to gain five additional Republican seats in the US House. Carving up Democratic-leaning areas in major cities like Dallas, Houston, and Austin, as well as along the border with Mexico, is a cynical power grab that disenfranchises millions of Texan voters. It betrays fundamental democratic principles and violates the constitutional requirement for districts to have nearly equal populations. As an elected representative, you have a solemn duty to protect the integrity of our electoral process and ensure all citizens have an equal voice. Gerrymandering rigs the system for partisan gain at the expense of the people's will. I implore you to vigorously oppose this egregious redistricting scheme and uphold the ideals of representative democracy that millions have fought to secure. The legitimacy of our government rests on free and fair elections - not rigged maps designed to entrench one party in power against the will of the people.
