Save Rural Hospitals
Add signature26 rural hospitals have closed in recent years across Texas. This is unacceptable for the richest country on Earth. Texans deserve better.
We demand our state and federal leaders do all that they can to protect all rural hospitals and clinics across the state and reopen all those that have closed. Expanding Medicaid is a good first step to help save rural hospitals, so we DEMAND our state leaders expand Medicaid ASAP and do whatever else it takes to save our rural healthcare.

Fix the Grid
Add signatureMany in Lampasas suffered when the power grid failed during the disastrous winter storm of 2021. Instead of getting to work and fixing the grid, Texas state leaders play the blame game and get NOTHING DONE. Powerplants are still not required to winterize their equipment, there's still little to no transparency in ERCOT/PUC, and fundamentally nothing has changed.
Let's send a clear message to our state leaders: FIX THE DAMN GRID!

Fix Internet & Phone Issues in Rural Texas
Add signatureInternet is no longer a luxury. More and more people, businesses, and critical services depend on Internet to the point where it's the new electricity. The recent Internet and cell service outages are UNACCEPTABLE. Many in Lampasas are taking care of loved ones. When service go down, it puts their lives, and frankly all of our lives, at risk. We demand that our city, state, and federal officials do everything they can to fix this issue before it costs someone the ultimate price.

Protect our voting rights!
We Texans aren't known for being timid, so let's be Texas Bold with our demands. Just as teachers are the profession that create all other professions, voting rights are the rights that create and maintain all others. Petition below:
Add signatureWe must stand against GOP efforts to suppress our right to vote. Just as teachers are the profession that create all other professions, voting rights are the rights that create and maintain all others.
We demand the ending of partisan gerrymandering, expanding voting hours, ending the voter purge, automatic registration, turning Election Day into a holiday, ensure voting is fast and easy, reinstating straight-ticket voting, and more.
All of these things will strengthen and expand our right to vote. Making voting hard is not the same as making it secure. Our voting methods are already very secure, and 2020 was the most secure election in history. Fear-mongering to chip away at voting rights is anti-American, anti-patriotic, and lack common decency.
Let's expand our right to vote, strengthen our civil and human rights, and move our society to new heights.
