Christian cellphone company Patriot Mobile’s political action committee has given $500,000 to conservative candidates in typically sleepy school board races in Carroll, Grapevine-Colleyville, Keller and Mansfield school districts.

“Our founders saw that the Credo on the left was having a major influence on political movements and getting candidates elected just by getting people to sign up for their cellphone service,” Coburn said. “And they said, well, we don’t have anybody on our side that’s doing that.”

Coburn said the launch of the Patriot Mobile Action PAC allows the phone company to “get involved in local elections” with the goal of eventually expanding into statewide races.In the hundreds of thousands of dollars’ worth of door hangers and direct mailers in the North Texas races, Patriot Mobile Action warns parents of the presence of “critical race theory” in their school districts and endorses the candidates who are “saving America.

Hawes has gathered the support of 500 other Keller parents and started a grassroots effort ​​to combat the conservative money. Craig Allen is a Keller school board member seeking another term. He is running against Micah Young, whom Patriot Mobile Action is supporting. He said that when he first won a seat in 2008, candidates needed less than $1,000 to mount a successful campaign.

Allen said he “never would’ve dreamed” that he would need to raise so much money for a school board seat.Dialing in on the money

Tell me again why you’re not voting in your local school board election? There is an election tomorrow, May 7th for a lot of you. If a candidate is screaming CRT & that your school is “grooming” children vote for their opponent. SavePublicSchools DemCast

So?

Wanna read something scary A Christian Cell Phone Company can track where you are going... and then, based on that tracking, seek to impose their 'faith' onto you. Think it can'? It already is...

Wonder how much data they are collecting on their users like Evanx churches collect on their members. Talk about putting a target on yourself. StopDropRun HardPass

Such a liberal biased rag.

Cellphone companies have religions?

Christian cellphone company? What's that? No Jews allowed? How about gays?

Patriot mobile? Seems sketchy
