The Texas State Democratic Party Platform includes and endorses the efforts of Barbara Ann Radnofsky, 2010 Democratic nominee for Texas Attorney General, in writing, researching and proposing a State Attorney General lawsuit to recover damages for Wall Street misconduct.

The headline: "Good Jobs, Rebuilding from an Economic Crisis". The official platform, adopted on June 26, 2010, states: "To hold irresponsible Wall Street speculators accountable for wrongful conduct that has contributed to a financial crisis that damaged the State of Texas and its citizens, Texas Democrats believe Texas taxpayers are entitled to economic recovery. We endorse the initiative by Attorney General nominee Barbara Ann Radnofsky to take State legal action to recover these losses on our behalf."

Radnofsky provided the Legal Complaint with her and other counsel's offer to handle the case for no fee to Texas Attorney General Abbott on Monday, June 21, 2010.
