To: Governor Greg Abbott

Texans Supporting Syrian Refugees

On November 16, 2015, Governor Greg Abbott sent a letter to President Barack Obama stating that the State of Texas will not accept any refugees from Syria in the wake of the deadly terrorist attack in Paris, a violation of his authority.

Let Governor Abbott know that regardless of his letter to the president, Texans support Syrian refugees seeking shelter in Texas. Terrorism is on trial, not Syrian refugees.

Why is this important?

Texas Governor Greg Abbott equates terrorism with Syrian refugees and is refusing to allow Syrian refugees into the State of Texas. Let him know you do not support this racist view and stand with the rights and safety of Syrian refugees by signing this petition against Governor Abbott's stance. Let him know he does not speak for Texas.
