Rep. Donna Howard is targeting vulnerable college students with HB 1787. During this bill’s hearing, Rep. Howard stated that the bill would require the state to promote Gardasil shots as a means to prevent HPV and cancer on college campuses though this text is not in the bill.
If this bill passes, your college students will be inundated with state-funded, predatory marketing campaigns promoting Gardasil, and we have had no reliable assurances that an HPV vaccine mandate will not be considered as part of a statewide strategy to lower HPV rates among young men and women.

SUBJECT: Vote NO on HB 1787
Dear Representative,
I am writing to you today to ask you to please vote “no” on HB 1787 that is up for a vote in the full House Thursday, May 8.
This bill would use our state resources to market an unproven, unpopular and liability-free pharmaceutical product to Texas college students.
Thank you,
[YOUR NAME]

Or use your own personal experience in your email to the committee regarding why state funds should not advertise for-profit, liability-free products.
