The Texas Roll Call of Shame

The Texas Roll Call of Shame September 21, 2013

The following Texas members of the US House of Representatives voted FOR the bill that rips even bigger holes in a fragile safety net of the most vulnerable people in the US.  The full list of all Representatives who voted for it is here.

Please note that each of these members of the US House of Representatives earn $175,000/year along with enjoying multiple perks and benefits that provide much economic comfort. Many have other substantial income sources as well.

It is not my place to tell anyone how to vote or who to vote for.  That’s an individual decision, and needs to be made after careful deliberation of multiple factors. I simply call on each of these people to live  in the same mode of economic desperation that they insist is not a problem for millions and millions of people living in the United State, and especially in Texas.
