Impeach Governor Abbott lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick and attorney general Ken Paxton
Governor Abbott lieutenant governor Patrick and attorney general Paxton have violated the public trust and made actions based on the lies of Donald Trump they have wasted public funds and assured a lack of domestic tranquility for all Texans.
Why is this important?
Prior to the 2020 presidential election Governor Abbott and lieutenant governor Patrick furthered the lies of Donald Trump by touting the healing usage of hydroxychloricine and the treatment of covid-19 they even went as far as to buy the drug and distribute it to nursing homes in Texas. This drug was untested for use in covid-19 cases and was not FDA approved there were at least three deaths caused by use of this drug and many hospitalizations. Governor Abbott and lieutenant governor Patrick put the lives and health of many Texans at risk and the process of furthering the lives of Donald Trump they violated the public trust. In November 2020 attorney general Paxton a licensed attorney who has been under investigation with the FBI use taxpayer funds to file a lawsuit against the state of Pennsylvania regarding the way that their election ballots are accounted. Knowing this was outside of his jurisdiction and scope he proceeded to do waste taxpayer dollars in this lawsuit only to appease Donald Trump this is a violation of the public trust and a waste of taxpayer dollars for no reason at all. In February 2021 Texas had a record snow storm and freezing temperatures for 7 days this storm affected many Texans by that they sustained a loss of electricity heat and water for 7 days. This resulted in the deaths of several Texans. To date Governor Paxton lieutenant governor Patrick nor anyone from ERCOT has been held accountable for this debacle and no steps have been taken to ensure that this tragedy will never happen again. Governor Abbott violated the public trust and put the health and domestic tranquility of Texans at risk yet again. On March 10th of 2021 Governor Abbott ordered the state to reopen with no requirements for social distancing or face coverings. At the height of a global pandemic this place all Texans at risk of the transmission and furthering of the covid-19 virus especially to the elderly and those with lung diseases this was a very dangerous move and show the callous disregard of Governor Abbott. On March 30th 2021, Governor Abbott allowed the Texas courts to begin eviction proceedings again this is in direct violation of the CDC moratorium. Governor Abbott has not only shown a blatant disregard for federal law but he's shown a lack of concern for Texas residents and has placed them at risk this is a violation of the public trust. In May of 2021 Governor Abbott signed an executive order forbidding any state County municipal agency or any school district from inquiring if a person has had the covid vaccine inoculations. This is a violation of the public trust and puts the public at risk while also putting a high risk of transmission and the furthering of the virus to the public this is also a breach of public trust. In May of 2021 Governor Abbott backed one of the largest voter suppression laws in the country and and the date that he could he lost the quorum he threatened to withhold the payment of salaries to legislative support staff. This is a petty and vindictive violation of the public trust and it's also illegal. On June 17th 2021 Governor Abbott announced that he will build the border wall with Texas he plans to ask property owners to volunteer their property to the state and to ask President Biden to surrender federal land to the state while using public funds without the Publix input or a referendum and also to use crowdfunding which is illegal. It is illegal to use public donations to finance government projects. As well many Texans are against This racist project that comes forth from a manufactured crisis and lies of Donald Trump. This also is a violation of the public trust. These illogical actions that do not take account the citizens of Texas are dangerous public health violations and breaches of the public trust by Governor Abbott lieutenant governor Patrick and attorney general Paxton and the three of these gentlemen need to be removed , convicted, and impeached quickly before more damages done to the state of Texas.
