5. Texans United to Amend

WOW. I'm a member of Texans United to Amend. Nice surprise to find our petition is being promoted by fellow Texans. There are 17 Resolution groups around the state all working to get resolutions passed by local governing bodies. Your signatures on this petition will help leverage them into supporting a constitutional amendment to get money out of politics. This is going to be a tough fight and we need all the support we can get. So please sign and then find the group in your area and get out and help them raise awareness and canvass local officials.

Money in politics is the single most important issue of our time. It is the problem behind every other problem our nation is facing. When powerful corporations and wealthy individuals put so much money behind a candidate it is to further their own self interest. We can't get our legislators to act in our best interest if he's being paid to serve the wealthy and powerful. Laws are being written behind the closed doors of groups like ALEC, where corporate lobbyists meet with state representatives. We have got to get the money out.
