Stop the Power Grab

To: Dir. Nelson

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, Republicans 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 just a partisan tactic, it is the early architecture of fascism. You claim to serve Texas; this plan serves only the consolidation of power. End it now, or be remembered not as a leader, but as one who let democracy be dismantled in Texas.
