Dear Senator,
I am writing to you today to ask you to please VOTE YES ON HB 609, which is scheduled for hearing in the State Affairs Committee this Thursday, May 4.
No citizen of Texas should be coerced into a medical procedure by their employer, and no business owner should be forced into unconstitutional employment practices by unelected bureaucrats. Please vote YES on HB 609 to protect Texas businesses and their employees.
Thank you,
[YOUR NAME]
