While Cruz pledges billions in support to Israel, Texans receive only $700 in aid. This stark contrast raises questions about his loyalty and the allocation of resources. As residents struggle to recover from the devastating disaster, many are calling for a reevaluation of priorities. Learn more about the implications of Cruz’s actions and the urgent need for support for Texans in crisis.

We went to Senator Ted Cruz’s office to ask why he met with war criminal Netanyahu while Texans are drowning.
It’s tough to fathom how a senator can focus on foreign affairs while constituents in his home state are facing devastating crises. Recently, we took a trip to Senator Ted Cruz’s office to confront him about meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu during a time when Texans were grappling with catastrophic flooding. The aftermath of this disaster left 132 people dead and countless homes destroyed, yet Cruz seemed more interested in pledging loyalty to a foreign military than addressing the dire needs of his own constituents.

As communities struggled to recover, the senator’s priorities raised eyebrows. Instead of rallying support for Texas, Cruz’s focus was on securing a staggering $17 billion in military aid for Israel, while his constituents were receiving a mere $700 in assistance. This stark contrast highlights a troubling trend: our representatives often prioritize foreign interests over the immediate needs of their own people. It begs the question: why is Cruz so willing to funnel billions overseas while Texans are left to fend for themselves?
$17 billion to Israel.
The allocation of $17 billion to Israel is a significant commitment that many Texans are questioning. With the ongoing needs in Texas, it feels disheartening to see such a large sum directed to another country when there’s so much to be done at home. The funds could have been used to help rebuild homes, support families who lost loved ones, or provide much-needed resources for recovery efforts. Instead, it seems like Cruz has chosen to prioritize international relations over the well-being of the people he was elected to serve.
$700 checks for Texans.
The $700 checks offered to Texans in the wake of the disaster feel almost like a token gesture compared to the vast sums being sent abroad. While any financial assistance is appreciated, it hardly makes up for the loss and destruction faced by families throughout the state. This disparity in funding raises important questions about the values and priorities of our elected officials. Why are we not investing more in our communities? Why is there a sense of urgency to support foreign military endeavors while our own citizens are in crisis?
Texas doesn’t deserve this negligence.
This situation is a wake-up call for Texans. We deserve representatives who prioritize our needs and tackle the pressing issues we face. It’s time to hold our leaders accountable and demand that they focus on local issues as fiercely as they do on international affairs. The people of Texas are resilient, but we shouldn’t have to fight for basic support while our senators are busy making deals abroad. We went to Senator Ted Cruz’s office to remind him of his duties, and it’s clear that we need to continue voicing our concerns loudly and clearly.
In the face of adversity, we must stand united and advocate for the support and attention our communities rightfully deserve. The time for change is now.
