CALL TO ACTION NOW!!! STAND WITH TEXAS

We need your help. This is crunch time in Texas for voter ID. Everyone from the League of Women Voters, to MoveOn.org and even the DOJ has chimed in with lies about voter ID. These groups and individuals have even started petitions based on myths and half truths. Their narrative has  effectively encouraged race baiting and finger pointing to ensure that our elections are not free and fair.

Will you stand with Texas? Today we are asking everyone to tweet and post to Facebook the truth about voter id. Other states  across the country have implemented some type of voter id program and if they stop us here in Texas, it could spell disaster for efforts elsewhere.

Here is some background on the voter id lies making the rounds

The GOP’s campaign for strict voter ID laws is affecting another voting bloc: Women.
