Last Craig Protest of the Summer!

It’s heating up, so this will be the last Craig Goldman protest of the summer. Last month, he called the cops bec he’s too chicken to face taxpayers!

I’ve ordered some chicken gear for him. Hopefully it gets here in time!

Bring canned chicken for our folks at Funkytown fridge & Cowtown Closet.

See you at 11am at the Fort Worth Club. Don’t chicken out!!

FULL PRESS CONFERENCE on FWISD Anti-Muslim rhetoric and the reassignment of a well-qualified, highly educated principal in FWISD because of extremist, political harassment. Sign the letter from FWISD 4 ALL to reinstate Shayma Alzubi immediately and end the harassment of educators by extremists.

Reminded this morning, that this time last year, I gathered with fellow Indivisible’s in DC & we visited Cornyn’s office. One of our Beaumont counterparts told his assistant “Wherever you aren’t showing up, we will be. You turned your back on Texans and they won’t continue to show up for you. 😉”

>>Support the 1A3!! On MayDay, we were hit with THREE noise citations in front of the Fort Worth Club at our Craig Goldman protest. The new noise ordinance downtown is being used to SHUT DOWN free speech and will essentially shut down any protest that is not permitted.
