From a verified voter in Mason, TXUNWORTHY BEHAVIOUR

From a verified voter in Mason, TXIT’S NOT HIS TO SELL
Greetings. I am a voting constituent in rural west Texas. Nothing like waking up to read that DJT is busily, blatantly selling the office of the president if he actually wins come November. Lobbying a gathering of oil and gas executives to chip in to get him re-elected and he will give them whateve
From a verified voter in Austin, TXConditioning military aid enables Israeli forces' abuses in Palestine.
Blinken's decision to continue military aid to Israeli units involved in credible reports of serious human rights violations against Palestinians enables further atrocities with impunity. The meager punishments, such as community service for killing an unarmed Palestinian, undermine the Leahy Laws'

From a verified voter in Pflugerville, TXURGENT: Immediate Action Needed to Halt Ground Invasion in Rafah

From a verified voter in Pflugerville, TXISRAEL CLOSES RAFAH CROSSING - ACT NOW
Israel has initiated a deadly ground invasion into Rafah, resulting in the loss of hundreds of lives, including men, women, and children.

From a verified voter in Bastrop, TXToday, 5/5, Israel is continuing the barbaric assault on southern Gaza. Areas just east of Rafah are being bombed as I write this at 7:30 AM CT.

From a verified voter in Austin, TXUphold press freedom, reconsider Al Jazeera office shutdown
The threat to press freedom extends beyond Israel's actions against Al Jazeera.

From a verified voter in Bastrop, TXThe videos and images of the Palestinian children who are being starved to death by Israel should haunt every human being with a conscience and basic morality.

From a verified voter in Austin, TXBodily autonomy must be federally guaranteed in the USA

From a verified voter in Bastrop, TXThe NYPD fired at least one firearm during the brutal attack and raid on the students at Columbia University peacefully protesting Israel's genocide this past Tuesday.

From a verified voter in Mason, TXSTOP THE PERSECUTION OF WOMEN
Greetings. Im am a voting constituent in rural west Texas. What we’re reading today… Florida’s draconian abortion law has taken effect. The new Florida law is possible because two years ago, on June 24, 2022, the Supreme Court overturned the 1973 Roe v. Wade decision that recognized the constitut
From a verified voter in Mason, TXWHEN IS ENOUGH ENOUGH?

From a verified voter in Austin, TXEnd Federal Ban on Marijuana: Align with State Laws Now
The recent proposal by the DEA to reclassify marijuana as a less dangerous drug, moving it from Schedule I to Schedule III, is a significant policy shift. However, it falls short of the necessary reform. While this move acknowledges the medical uses of cannabis and its lower potential for abuse, it
