Imagine a bright future for Texas. Healthy families thriving with a high quality of life. Enough clean air, clean water and affordable clean energy for everybody. Believe it or not, I think that's a future many legislators in Austin want to help bring about. Alas, the current legislative session is almost over -- and may not accomplish much more -- but the hard work of creating our future is just getting started.

Thanks to folks like you, the Texas League of Conservation Voters is becoming a powerhouse for the advancement of a bright future for Texas. During the last election, we won most of the races we endorsed because of your hard work and support.

As the legislature concludes we are getting ready to put together our legislative score card -- the gold standard of Texas conservation accountability -- and getting ready for the 2010 election cycle. We need more everyday Texans to help out.
