Hunter – 

I wanted to make sure you saw Joaquin’s email from last week. Immigration reform is critical to our country and our continued economic recovery. That’s why it’s time for Texas Republicans to stop with the dangerous rhetoric and playing the games of fear and division.

It’s time to demand better. If you haven’t added your name to the growing list of supporters who are standing with Joaquin and demanding change, it’s not too late. 

Click here and tell the Tea Party Republicans it’s time to stop with the divisive agenda in Texas. http://act.txdemocrats.org/end-gop-rhetoric

Together, we can make a difference.

Matt -

I think we can all agree that it’s time to put the politics of fear and division behind us and come up with real solutions for immigration reform.

Well, most of us can.

Two weeks ago, Dan Patrick, the lead Republican candidate for Lt. Governor in Texas, called on Texans to “stop the illegal invasion” and painted Hispanic immigrants as violent criminals.

Last week, Greg Abbott, the GOP candidate for Governor, compared the Texas border region to a third world country.

These comments are disturbing and I’m fed up. The GOP rhetoric on immigration reform is damaging our economy, our communities and the American way of life.

If you agree that it’s time for the Republicans to end the damaging rhetoric and come to the bargaining table ready to find real bipartisan solutions, add your name to our online petition. http://act.txdemocrats.org/end-gop-rhetoric

But it gets worse… this week, Tea Party Republicans in Washington said they will refuse to take up immigration reform this year.

This country was founded on the promise of opportunity and it’s time to stop the Tea Party’s divisive agenda in Texas. It’s only taking us backwards.

Tell the Tea Party it’s time for Texas to start working together towards fixing our immigration system. We deserve better and now we need to demand better, together. http://act.txdemocrats.org/end-gop-rhetoric

Thanks for always standing with me,

Joaquin
