Disabled activists blockade Gov. Abbott’s office

http://politics.blog.statesman.com/2015/05/19/disabled-activists-blockade-gov-abbotts-office/

Our Jonathan Tilove is covering a situation at the Texas Capitol where disabled activists have been blockading the governor’s office for more than three hours. According to Tilove’s tweets, the activists want Gov. Greg Abbott to direct lawmakers working on the budget to find $480 million to cover a $10 hourly wage for community attendants.






The irony, of course, is that Abbott himself has a disability.

Abbott hates these people, the way Reagan hated the college students protesting the Vietnam war.

Remember what Reagan did to get back at those pesty kids?

yeah, began the END of higher affordable education in this country, what a massive PRICK
