Final Budget Cutting Vote Coming Up - Call your legislator today!
Reports from the state capitol in Austin indicate that negotiators are nearing a budget agreement that will cut BILLIONS of dollars to public schools, hospitals, public safety and critical state jobs.
The agreement will require a majority of state legislators’ approval in the next few days, including your own state representative’s and senator’s vote. Your legislators should not be on the wrong side of a vote imposing unnecessary budget cuts to kids and the elderly, especially when at least $6 billion will be left unspent in the Rainy Day Fund!

Leave a phone message with their staff: Please vote NO on any budget proposal as long as it includes cuts while leaving money on the table.
Thanks,
