Welcome to the Wimberley Democrats located in Hays County, Texas.
In just a few short years, we've turned Hays County BLUE and are continuing our goal of nurturing democracy by turning TEXAS BLUE!
Turning Texas blue is not an end in itself. The essence of America is under attack by an extremist right-wing ideology attacking the very core of our democratic system of government.
To protect our democracy, we must unite to restore and strengthen this core value of what it means to be an American. We must heal our country and repeal attacks on Public Education, Healthcare, Social Security, Medicare, minorities, women's rights and even on fair and free elections.
We must unite to forge a stronger, brighter, and more equitable future for us all, and it begins with we---The People.
When Americans go to the polls this fall, we will be be deciding on more than who will be president. It will be a decision between democracy and authoritarianism, between the rule of law and the rule of the most powerful.
Democracy is worth standing up for and if we want to continue our Democracy, it's up to all of us to get involved and defend it.
And that's what the Wimberley Democrats are all about. We stand up and we get involved.
We hope you join us.
