We the undersigned people of the State of Texas come together to condemn the radical agenda of the Republican Party of Texas and it's hateful agenda as described in it's new platform.
In particular
- We affirm that the Jospeh Biden is the legitimately elected President of the United States of America and that by denying this basic fact the Republican Party of Texas is engaging in treasonous rhetoric that should be universally condemned and punished.
- We affirm that transgender people have the full rights of all people and that they deserve access to gender affirming healthcare at all ages of their lives. The demonization of transgender people must be stopped.
- We affirm that by directing the CPS to investigate the families of transgender children, the government of Texas is terrorizing these families and attempt to force them to commit child abuse by denying gender affirming healthcare to their children.
- We affirm that LGBT people of all kinds have the full rights of all people, including the right to marry whoever they choose and to be free from any and all discrimination because of their LGBT status.
- We affirm that freedom of religion does not include any right to mistreat anyone for failing to adhere to the dictates of any particular religion.
- We affirm that abortion is a fundamental right that should not be banned or so heavily restricted that it becomes essentially impossible to obtain.
- We affirm that the right to vote is fundamental to the good functioning of a democratic republic and that governments should not enact barriers to voting.
- We affirm that all people have a right to be treated fairly by the police and we condemn the ongoing brutality inflicted on minorities, and Black people in particular, by police departments across the state.
In light of these matters, we call on the people of Texas to remove from office any Republican politician who will not renounce the platform of the Republican Party of Texas by voting against them in the next election, and by other legal means if necessary.
Petition against Texas Republicans
1I am so pissed at the Republicans now that I want to do something, even if it is mostly symbolic. I want to spread around a petition to get people to sign condemning the Republican Party of Texas for it's new platform. To this end I have started a draft of the petition and want to circulate it among as many people as I can to get feedback and suggestions for improvement. Here is what I have so far.
