TEXANS WANT CHANGE

Texans want change. They have wanted change for over twenty years, and what they keep getting is the same thing — empty promises.

That is why Donald Trump won by an overwhelming margin. People wanted change. They wanted something new. They wanted America on a better path. And what did we get? A man who buried us in higher debt with tariffs, and never removed the income tax he promised to remove. Then he went straight to war with a sovereign nation that never fired a shot at us — a nation there is no proof was building a weapon to use against us — because another country's government didn't like them.

This is biblical. Israel is the thorn in everyone's eye, and what is written will happen no matter what we do. But that is no excuse. We were promised no more endless wars, because endless wars have one winner: the bankers get rich, the war companies get rich, and the average American pays the bill for a war he never voted for. We have been disenfranchised by every president who promised us peace and prosperity and handed us the bill instead, over and over again.

You want peace? Let America prosper — that is peace. And if you want war so badly, send your own sons and daughters — not ours.

Texas representatives lost because people cannot afford to eat — while the people getting rich off this system keep getting richer on the backs of the people who can't afford to eat.

And understand this: the sovereignty of Texas rests heavily on the governor and the legislative branch — and it is the legislature that keeps property taxes climbing. When property taxes go up, your grocery bill goes up. Your home insurance goes up. Everything goes up. The cost of beef is rising — I am a farmer, I know this — everything is astronomical, and they still expect us to keep voting for the same people. The middle class is being wiped out. They have been saying it for years. Now you can see it happening.

We need legislators who will protect the middle class.
