Alert: Tell Your Legislators - No Las Brisas!

Tomorrow the next stage of hearings for Las Brisas begins in Austin.  SOAH judges will hear further evidence on the air permit over the next few days and will make recommendations to the TCEQ Commissioners based upon the evidence.

Meanwhile, at a public meeting a few weeks ago, a local legislator told the meeting that, while he heard plenty of public opposition to Las Brisas in public forums and the media, very few people had actually contacted his office about the issue on way or another.  

Well, that has to change, doesn't it?  

We need to let our legislators know that we need them to protect us from this poison, and we need to let them know directly.  

That brings us to this week's assignment as part of Lone Star Ma's Mama Action Network:  if you care about the children of our community, tell your legislators that you need them to keep that poison plant out of here - no Las Brisas!  Let them know that our doctors have told us it will hurt our children and we are not standing for that - it has got to go.   If everyone contacts them this week, it will make a big impression.  Here is their contact information:
