During his political career, Ted Cruz has received $3,770,950 from oil and gas interests. Isn't it time to restrict political donations to individuals?
❤️ Jeff Van Gundy “So many people in need. Like all states, we have some great leaders in Texas and we have some leaders who are self-absorbed and only care about themselves and accumulating power but the people of Texas, they’re awesome. They are there to help each other. So many restaurants donating meals, like James Harden today — his restaurant ‘Thirteen’ is donating 3,000 meals — and then you got workhorse plumbers trying to get people back into their houses. I had one guy, ?Juan ____?, he’s an American hero. We had no water for 5 days and this guy — he, his dad and his son — working like 18 hour days just trying to help people and not rip people off. I’m so impressed with how people care deeply about others in Texas and try to help each other in unspeakable tragedies — Hurricane Harvey and now this. People don’t equate how much misery is going on in the State of Texas because the pictures aren’t there like they are during the hurricane.” Breen: The human spirit shines so brightly in these difficult times. JVG: It’s not one or two. The people of Texas, the empathy they have for their neighbors and their communities, I couldn’t be more impressed and I couldn’t be more proud to live in the great City of Houston. (Shout out to his plumber) I just can’t tell you...he’s in my house last night at 11:30 trying to fix all the broken pipes and he’s been working since 6:00 in the morning. That’s the American work ethic and heroes we never speak to but without it, we have nothing as a community.
I am indeed white and privileged, even though I don't live inside the loop anymore, but the "help your neighbor" streak knows no class/race/creed. That's been my life experience at least.
