Internet 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. 

We 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.
