Progressive Views: Contact Legislators on Two Terrible Bills

The Texas Legislature is about a month into its every-other-year session, and they are considering quite a few awful bills, including school vouchers, but also an elimination to countywide voting and the SAVE act which requires all Americans to provide a birth certificate, passport, or one of a few other citizenship documents every time they register or re-register to vote.

Progressive Views: “The Economy Stupid”

Many U.S. Republican presidents in recent history have handed struggling economies to incoming Democratic presidents. Since the end of WWII, the U.S. economy has been better under Democratic leaders. Under Republican leaders, the rich have gotten richer and the poor, poorer. It's time to vote for Harris and choose a president worthy of the position whose policies will reverse income inequality and push high-wage jobs and sustainable manufacturing.

Progressive Views: The Insidious Project 2025

Project 2025 (P25) is the published plan for an “ideal” America if a conservative wins the 2024 presidential election; they call it the “Mandate for Leadership: The Conservative Project.” P25 is spearheaded by the Heritage Foundation and is supported by more than 80 organizations. You need to be aware of P25 because it’s a plan for how the next Republican administration plans to gut our federal institutions and remake the nation into an authoritarian state.

Progressive Views: Vote at Home

Vote at home is also called vote by mail or absentee voting. It is increasing throughout the United States because it is a great way to improve voter turnout and reduce election costs. Texas scores among the lowest in voter-friendly policies. Expanding mail in and absentee voting would be a great way to improve voter turnout, strengthen our election security, and secure our democracy for future generations.
