Hey, I'm a Texas senior who Dan Patrick says is expendable. I am as livid as you are.

This movement needs a leader and I don't think we have one. I wish someone would come forward and I don't care who it is as long as it's someone who puts the needs of the citizens above the needs of Wall Street.

If a plan develops, tell me what to do and I'll do my best to do my part. I've been calling reps continuously, but who are we kidding? That does not good, especially in red state Texas.
