Have you watched "Deep In The Pockets" yet?

Chris Tackett, who is currently presenting programs about Christian Dominionism
is in this film. I have not actually watched it yet, but I have heard Chris speak about it more than once. It. Is. Scary.

I have learned a lot about who is putting up the money and how it is impacting local races, such as school boards, city councils, county commissioner courts .

If you are involved in any type of Democratic group in North Texas, you need to book Chris as a speaker.

Billionaire conservative donors are literally buying politicians, starting from local school board race candidates up to governor. It's happened in Florida, too.
