#TXLEGE: Statewide grassroots leadership invites Warren Buffett to join Free Market auto sales coalition!!!


"Dishonest scales are an abomination to the Lord,
But a just weight is His delight."
Proverbs 11:1

With the Senate risking its credibility over this absurd "Buffet Bill," we were honored to join statewide grassroots leadership in signing this letter:

Bottom Line: One of two things needs to happen.  If this bill can be amended to include direct sales for everyone, that would be fine.  Otherwise, this bill needs to die.

We encourage readers to tweet this letter to Warren Buffett: @WarrenBuffett
