Redistricting measure strikes a chord
We got a number of responses to our message yesterday regarding the Villareal redistricting bill. Here’s an especially heartfelt one:
… my parents and extended family who do live in [Rep Crabb’s] district were once very true and loyal conservative Republicans. …since the Tom Delay fiasco I’ve noticed them becoming increasingly apathetic… Most of them [think] ‘…Republican party members are only out for themselves and not for their constituents.’ Their reasons why they think this all vary, but a re-occuring issue is ‘fair play’.
If you, Mr. Chairman, were to reach across party lines, this would serve as good medicine for the whole apathy thing going on with once loyal voters.
She urged Chairman Crabb to schedule a hearing for the Villareal bill, which I just heard is very likely to happen.
Thanks, Suzanne, for calling Rep. Crabb and letting us know. We love to see Action in our Network.
