Petition Gov. Perry: Don't Mess With Texas Jobs

[The Philosopher]

from GOPPriceTag.com

For months, the casualties of Rick Perry’s political agenda have been discussed in detail. Nursing homes will be closed, classrooms overcrowded and victims of abuse ignored. Last week, the Republican-controlled Legislative Budget Board estimated that the proposed Texas House budget will cost our state over 335,000 jobs by 2013. Perry has claimed Texas added 230,800 jobs in 2010, but his head-in-the-sand budget policy would cost us over 100,000 more jobs than we added in 2010.

These job losses are the direct result of a permanent structural deficit caused by Perry’s out of balance 2006 tax swap plan. Not only are cuts to education and health care a real threat to our economic future; cuts that kill over 335,000 jobs are a threat to our economy right now. It’s time to fix the structural deficit so that future budgets don’t require use of the Rainy Day Fund and find a reliable revenue stream to ensure schools are funded and basic needs of Texans are met.

The Texas economy would be better served by losing a few Republican politicians’ jobs than by killing over 335,000 Texans’ jobs.

6. Done.

Don't just email; email, call, snail mail and find out what's happening and physically go down to the Capitol if you have the means. A written letter, phone call, or in-person appearance can help make an impact, especially if hundreds/thousands do it. Find out how the system works and infiltrate it, use it to our advantage. Get involved.
