Why we need Clean Elections in Texas

It’s well past time for clean elections
Our freedom is at stake.
Lobbyists and corporations
Our rules and laws now make.

SBC (now AT&T)
Last year spent seven million
To tell our State how to legislate.
Think they listen to your opinion?

At three million plus, in place number two.
An electrical revelation.
Helping write the rules is TXU
Check your bills for confirmation.

Do your medical costs continue to rise
While you buy less with your labors compensation?
Third largest donor
Texas Medical Association.

Saddest of all is your tax dollar pays
Those lobbyist’s generous bills.
They deduct their expenses of writing our laws
And usurping our rights and our will.

The list goes on, as could I,
And I hope you are paying attention.
Publicly financed electoral campaigns
Is a viable solution.

Now, into the circl file...
