Let me share some of my situation. I live out here in West Texas, where we have no Democratic representation in Austin, and the state house members especially in the Lubbock area are very churchy in some very political churches. I'm talking pray for their candidate to win kind of churches. I think you are correct when you say that the moderate Republicans must be approached on this issue because they can be reasoned with.

Thanks again for doing this AMA. I have a second question: have you ever had success in Lousiana (or anywhere) convincing a conservative / Republican lawmaker not to support a voucher program like the one in Louisiana? If so, what was the winning argument?

OK, this may seem like a strange question, but: if you could use only up to three words on a billboard or other large sign to motivate Texas voters to resist the coming voucher legislation in the Texas legislature, what would you say? Best I can think of is "NO VOUCHERS" or "SAVE PUBLIC SCHOOLS" but I would love your suggestion.
