To: Governor Greg Abbott
Governor Abbott: Do something about the toxic levels of lead in Ranger, TX
There are lead levels that are 28X the acceptable level in the water in Ranger, TX. Residents have to buy all their water for drinking and bathing purposes. To have a so-called "pro-life" Governor whose state infrastructure is such that Texans are being poisoned by their own water lets me know he is really pro-silence about the issue. Speak up Governor, don't you care about Texans?
Why is this important?
As a Texan and a mother, I am personally affected every time someone drinks poisonous water in my state. As an American, I have been appalled by the water crisis in Flint, Michigan. We are, all across the country, dealing with contamination issues with our drinking water due to the aging infrastructure our governments refuse to repair. Anti-anti-discrimination bills, bathroom policy debates, and the creation of MORE corporate wealth should be lower priorities than creating safe drinking water systems for all citizens. I am tired of Republicans wasting legislative time and tax payer dollars on distractions and want them to start making our Pipes Great Again. Deliver on SOMETHING positive that helps everyone for a change.
