We are a coalition. That means we all agree on only one thing - In the upcoming legislative session our representatives should sunset the State Bar of Texas.
We are a "big tent". We are a broad based coalition. We all are activists with other agendas, other ideas on how our government should operate, other ideas on how our government can be improved. We may battle each other about these outside of the coalition or after the coalitions succeeds. But for now, for this purpose, we are united.
There are some in the Coalition who cannot accept this. They would reject others who they deem not in agreement with the other "issues", or ideas, they have on how things should be, or what needs to be changed, or whatever agenda is the primary focus of their area of activism. I hope that others will take the same approach that I, and others, are taking towards them. We will allow them to reject us and reject our help. We will NOT reject them from the coalition.
The Texas Justice Coalition is not "owned" by anyone or any one group. It is not "controlled" by anyone or any one group. It has only one purpose, one objective, and that is to sunset the state bar. Agreement with this objective is the only requirement for participation.
I, for one, do not care if others consider you a left-wing radical or a right-wing radical, a Jew or a Muslim, or whatever other label you may place on yourself or others may place on you. If you want to sunset the state bar of texas your help and participation is welcomed.
Please post here or email me; ed@informed.org , if you are committed to this objective. We understand you may not have time or other resources to contribute. Your moral support alone, a statement that you support the objective, is a contribution we all appreciate.
