Thank you for all you do. The video of the apoplectic Queen Donna was marvelous.
I sent emails to urge Support for SB315.
Please modify the email list you provided by separating each address with only a comma instead of a semi-colon. Please establish this format for future email lists.
Your work is excellent, and I pray for your success in telling the truth to every Texan.
Thank you for the support and kudos!
The bulk of the feedback we have received is that most people complain about the commas because their email provider requires semicolons. It’s frustrating that it’s not uniform across all platforms!
