I sincerely
want the Democratic Party to rise victorious in this year’s Gubernational
Election tomorrow. Wendy Davis and the Democratic Party, in my opinion, are
pushing agendas that are for
the good of the people. Issues such as education, minimum wage increase,
energy, border security, and the DREAM Act. The Republicans, however, are more
worried about the upper-class and large corporations rather than pushing to aid
the working middle-class.
Republicans
cut 5.4 billion in the education system in 2011, and Wendy Davis is the only
person to filibuster the massive cuts. Although unsuccessful, she leads the
fight to restore that funding to our education. A better education here in
Texas will not only put Texas on a higher standard, but it will also produce
quality graduates to work in Texas to support and strengthen the economy.
Republicans cut the school fund in order to keep its promise of no new taxes to
support the revenue shortfall. This means no financial aid to incoming
students, no pre-kindergarten, and Health services slashed.
This is
what Republicans did in 2011 when they passed the bill, and the only person
that has the audacity to fix what they destroyed, is Wendy Davis. Texas is a
majority-minority state so tomorrow’s election should be a no brainer. For
those that want change to happen in Texas, the right change, voters will need
to cast a vote tomorrow. I see the importance of higher education, and the
importance of quality schools for our young generation. I will cast my vote
tomorrow, and I hope all of Texas will make the right decision.
