We’re the Faces of Texas
We are Republicans, Democrats, and independents. We are small business owners, homemakers, and community volunteers. We are lawyers who want our profession back, and plant managers who want our companies to expand facilities to create jobs for Texans. We are consumers who want to eliminate the wasteful “tort tax” from the products and services we pay for. We are ranchers and teachers who have anguished over needless lawsuits. We are doctors and nurses who have seen our colleagues abandon their chosen professions because of the emotional and financial toll imposed by legal assaults. We are the citizens of Texas who want a better future for ourselves and our children. We’re the faces of Texas…more than 15,000 individual supporters in 818 towns and cities, representing 1,266 different trades, businesses and professions.
