                  The stories coming out of Texas this week are difficult to read and watch. A slew of winter storms have knocked out power for large swaths of the state for coming up on a week as of the time of this writing. Without electricity, people are freezing in near zero temperatures. They have no way to cook, the roads are too dangerous to travel, and food is running low. Burst pipes are flooding people's homes and roofs are falling in. It is a literal natural disaster and Texans are being abandoned. Sign the petition to demand the federal government steps in to save lives now! 

                  The reason this is such a natural disaster is multifactoral but boil down to two main things: Texas is on their own energy grid and they have hardly any regulation. Most of the United States, and even the world, are on shared grids so that if power goes out in one region, power can be diverted and shared. Texas stands alone so nearby states can't help them. They became independent to avoid government safety regulations, some of which may have required them to winterize their equipment, thus avoiding this entire humanitarian crisis. Now many people in Texas are freezing in their homes and don't even have access to clean drinking water anymore.

                  Biden did authorize FEMA to go in and help, but clearly it's not enough. This is a massive disaster and the federal government should be doing more to save the lives of Texans! 

                  Thank you,
