Thanks, ya'll. :)HERE is the link to email Rick Perry.
And here is my note to him:
My Dear Governor Perry,
This concerns HB 3, the massive tax increase that is being rammed through the legislature. I am SEVERELY disappointed at the Republicans in this state for even entertaining this abomination. I can not say strongly enough that I am opposed to any new taxes on the hard working people of Taxes (Note the new spelling ot out state name, it now fits.) We need tax relief and a property appraisal cap, NOT a bunch of new taxes. I hope that you will veto this and all other new taxes that hit your desk.
Please take note, Mr. Governor. I have voted straight ticket GOP for many years, so every time you ran for statewide office, you ALWAYS got my vote. However, if you sign this bill, you will leave me no choice but to support any GOP challenger in the next Primary race for Governor of Texas. I am serious about this, too, so please heed my wishes (and the wishes of many other conservative Republican voters here in Texas).
Sincerely,
[MeekOneGOP]
Honorable Governor Rick Perry,
I am writing to tell you how extremely displeased I am with our State Legislature and the passage of the Tax Reform Bill, also known as HB 3. I thought Republicans stood for lower taxes and greater economic freedom for the citizens of Texas but apparently I am gravely mistaken. Passage of this bill it is an absolute slap in the face to all the men and women that supported candidates who campaigned on a platform which included fighting for jobs and promoting Texas' economy. The new tax structure does the exact opposite--it will cost jobs and destroy our economy. I strongly urge you to veto this bill when it reaches your desk.
The last thing I want to see is the return of Democrats to the governor's mansion or gaining seats in the Legislature, but the Republican's certainly are not helping themselves maintain power by turning on their base. We will not forget on election day.
Sincerely,
