Texas Public Policy Foundation’s to air statewide television commercials
================================================================================

The battle of the Texas state budget has reached a critical stage. That’s why,
for the first time in the Texas Public Policy Foundation’s 22-year history, we
are reaching out directly to the people of Texas on statewide television.
With the support of freedom lovers like you, today we released seven new
commercials on the Texas state-budget debate, to be aired in cities across Texas
from May 5th through 11th. It is imperative that we tell the real story of the
state budget battle — and encourage our leaders to pass a conservative budget
that protects Texas’ vibrant economy.
Among the commercials are two featuring the return of former U.S. Sen. Phil
Gramm to the television airwaves, and one in Spanish featuring the president of
the San Antonio Tea Party.
This statewide release of ten commercials – seven new plus three run only in
Austin the preceding week – is an expanded effort in the Foundation's public
engagement in the state budget debate.
The online versions of the television commercials featuring TPPF leaders and
others are below. Please help us spread the word by passing them on to your
friends and colleagues:
