You know it's a race! Incumbent Attorney General Abbott can't stand opposition. Accused this week of hypocrisy on inconsistent positions, Mr. Abbott lashed out with front page generic insults claiming Barbara Ann hasn't a grasp of issues. When Barbara Ann publicly disagrees with Attorney General Abbott, it can't be an honest disagreement; his reply is she lacks a grasp of issues.

Barbara Ann will continue to be his toughest opposition.  Knowing that, under pressure, he will continue to unravel over the next 7 months of concentrated opposition, your donation of $1,000, $500, $250, $100, $50, or $25 will allow us to turn up the heat on Attorney General Abbott.

Since the general campaign began, we highlighted his incorrect claims in his EPA lawsuit, his losing litigation against application of the Americans with Disabilities Act, and his hypocrisy of collecting money from a personal injury lawsuit while advocating for massive tort reform in Texas.  And, most recently, we quickly responded to his headline-seeking lawsuit against health care reform. We described his successful advocacy for Texas Attorney General managed childrens' health care as an option. This advocacy followed the Texas Attorney General's long time embrace of federal mandates which he enforced against certain Texas parents required to make medical child support payments.

We've only exposed a small fraction of Attorney General Abbott's hypocritical behavior, and the people of Texas deserve to know the real Attorney General Abbott. Help us continue the research into the incumbent Attorney General's inconsistencies. Please donate today.

Our work lead to this week's coverage (Dallas Morning News, Forbes.com, Texas Public Radio (show #500), Huffington Post, Burnt Orange Report, Houston PBS). We now know that Attorney General Abbott doesn't respond well to intense opposition, so we must keep up the pressure.  Barbara Ann called on Attorney General Abbott to a debate on the issues in January.  He still hasn't responded, but Barbara Ann will continue to campaign on the issues. Your donation of $1,000, $500, $250, $100, $50, or $25 will allow us to wage a fierce campaign that Mr. Abbott is not prepared to handle.

Help us publicize our calls for a reasoned debate on the issues of the day, so we can have an energized, informed public wanting to vote in November. We're looking to you for help.
