Our
Values: Examples of our values include Honesty and Truthfulness,
Security and Safety, Responsibility and Accountability, and service
to all Americans and the common good. You can see how Democrats act
upon these values. You can see how the Republican leadership works against
these values.
|
| |
|
Examples
of our actions: Working for
- Safe air,
water, and food for our families
- Security from
Al Qaeda without torture and criminal action
- Protection from
government intrusion in our lives, including illegal spying
- Fairness in taxes
and education

Compare
our Democratic Values with Republican Actions. |
|
|
|
How do our
Republican leaders act upon American, Texan, moral, and religous
values?
- They market
themselves with their focus group words
- They act
to serve special interest group money
- They slime
those who dare oppose them
- They lie,
slander, and bear false witness
Judge for
yourself by comparing some of our Democratic values against what
Republicans actually do to you, your family, and your neighbors.
Start from the top and how our own elected Texas Republicans justify
corrupt and immoral behavior.
How would
you grade the actions of these Republicans?

About Your Values (and Your Vote). |

The elected
Republican leaders have been bad shepherds. We deserve good shepherds
to guide us and protect us from predators foreign and domestic.
To support the current corrupt administration requires you to
ignore many American and Texan values like
- Honesty
- Fairness
and justice
- Respect
for others and the law
- Help for
those in need and not profitable corporations
|
|
| |
|
The Cost of Ignoring
the Corrupt Behavior of Republican Officials.
- Daily criminal
behavior (illegal spying, sneaking through the UAE Port Deal)
- Daily behavior
that spans the ABCs of immorality (fill in missing letters and behavior)
- Sneaky attacks
on social security and our safety nets
- More billions
for very profitable multinational corporatations and executives (loyal
only to profits)
- More billions
for the very rich at the expense of the hungry and homeless
We deserve moral
leaders who will work with us, respect our laws, serve those who need
help, and act on our values instead of their interests and the interests
of wealthy contributors and corporate sponsors.
|
| |
| We give
an F in American and Texan values to Republicans for their lack
of responsibility, protection, empathy, service, fairness, and morality. |

Take Action
What can one person do?
- Start by writing
a letter to the editor.
- Write a letter
to your elected Republican officials - tell them your view how they
act speaks louder than what they say.
- Call your elected
Republican officials - tell them what you expect them to do.
Invite a friend
or two to follow your example. Build on the power of 1, 2, 4, ... !
|
| |
| Tell
our Democratic candidates what you expect as well. |
