We need to fight back. Syrupy sentiments aren’t going to work.
Still trying to track down the churches indicated by the yellow blanks.
I am banned from Facebook, so if you find the information, you will need to do a screen capture. There are legislators in Roman Catholic and some are United Methodist Church members. What the Pope might say in Rome doesn’t mean that there aren’t Roman Catholics targeting us in Texas. Similarly, what the United Methodist Church leadership says, doesn’t mean their members aren’t targeting us.
The Reps shaded with blue were on the Texas House Criminal Jurisprudce Committee.
