Sorry to interrupt the wonderful discussion we were having on books that appeal to kids, but this seems important.
I got an email from a reader who prefers to remain anonymous requesting that I post this so parents with kids under 12 can join a lawsuit against Governor Abbot. (Sorry this is so late!)
YOU HAVE TO FILL The above affidavit out and have it notarized and scan to him by noon today.
Your local bank probably also has a notary public and may take less time than UPS.

Message – TO ALL PARENTS BUT PARTICULARLY PARENTS FROM ISDs THAT HAVE YET TO DEFY GA 38
NEEDED TODAY (AUG 12) BY NOON
Hey folks! Late night plea for assistance. The nonprofit I represent has filed suit against Governor Abbott in Travis County District Court seeking a statewide injunction of the Governor’s Executive Order GA 38. But here’s the rub: no one at the AG’s office is responding to our efforts to confer regarding a hearing date. So . . . we are intending to file a request for a statewide temporary emergency restraining order by noon TODAY if we do not hear from the AG’s office. How many parents would consider executing an affidavit in support of our TRO request? One is attached. Please limit to one page. It is like 5 bucks at the UPS store to have it notarized. Scan it to me at coordinator@thescca.org and save the original. No children’s names, please. Just parents and district, that is all I can hope to ask of you. Your name will be part of a court proceeding that is public in nature. But your address is not on the affidavit, ever. Pray, meditate, breath, take an early morning walk. Please let me know ASAP. What I’ve said here is about all there is to say, but ‘friend’ me on FB (my page is public) and we can message about specific, unique questions. greenbostwick.com

I didn’t see this in time to share with my Texan friends but I REALLY hope they get some traction.

Me too. And there may be other things Texans can do still, I just don’t know what.
