Tom Wakely. A progressive Texan and Sanders supporter looking to unseat Lamar Smith

21st Congressional District.
-snip-
My name is Tom Wakely, and I am running to be the U.S. Representative of TX's 21st Congressional District, and bring progress back to a red state. I have also endorsed Bernie Sanders for President of the United States, and believe that to achieve the political revolution of which he talks about, it is vital to elect more people with his progressive views to both houses of Congress.

More about me

I am a Vietnam veteran who is passionate, determined, and committed to ending the environmental crisis, diminishing the wealth gap, making public higher education free and accessible, strengthening and expanding Social Security, and expanding/protecting the reproductive rights of women, among many other things which you can find more information about on my website.

About my opponent

The current representative of TX21 is Lamar Smith, a fifteen term congressman who claims “the greatest threat to America is not a recession or terroist attack, but a liberal media bias”, aided Hobby Lobby in filing their lawsuit with the Supreme Court over birth control being covered on medical insurance, railed against the national parks being closed during the 2013 Government Shutdown that he voted for, calling immigrants earning citizenship through military service “President Obama aiding and abetting an immigrant crime spree”, and wrote the legislation that would limit what kinds of science the EPA can use to set environmental standards.

The differences between us are clear, and I hope by the end of this AMA to have your support. If you'd like to contribute to my campaign, and make it possible for me to unseat Lamar and bring progress to TX and the US.
