Call about opposition to House Bill 3

Hello,

I am a Texas public educator and I am writing to BEG you all to take two minutes of your time to call your Texas House Rep and state, “My name is______, I am a constituent, (state address), and I am calling to be on the record in opposition to House Bill 3.” For those that don’t know, house bill 3 is also referred to as school choice/voucher/ESA’s. There are enough Republican pledges to pass. This is not a partisan fight. This is an attack by our Governor on public education.

When I called my own rep to ask how many were in support and how many were in opposition, the girl on the phone told me “one in support”. I told her that was impossible as I knew people who had called in opposition one being myself. She then looked at my email and straight up said to me that my email mentioned vouchers ,but not house bill 3. So the very valuable lesson I learned is they are not counting constituent feedback unless you very specifically state, “House bill 3”. She was not happy when I told her they were being sneaky and finding loopholes. I let her know I would be screaming the “correct” way of getting on the record to everyone I could find.

My plea is to call again if you have already called and leave a message with that statement. We need one republican flip in the house to stop this thing. There are 150 votes and they are sitting at 76 pledges. The house is where this got stopped back in 2023. We can’t let it go through even with Abbott buying those votes and getting the others out.
