Texas Scorecard by  Sebastian Castro | July 13, 2022

Charles Butt has repeatedly worked against parental rights activists.

Charles Butt, the billionaire heir and CEO of the Texas grocery empire H-E-B, sponsored a recent “family friendly” drag show and spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on anti-school choice campaigns.

In June, H-E-B sponsored an LGBT “pride” event in downtown Austin. The event, called Rainbow on the Creek, included a drag queen story hour, a “family-friendly all ages” drag show performed by a group called the Hydrated Queer Kitties, and a pride parade. A Libs of TikTok tweet showed the scantily clad performers dancing sensually in front of parents and their children.

The event’s website says, “The celebration will include 25+ [activities] by LGBTQIA+ nonprofits and partners, a Queer BIPOC and Latinx artisan & craft market, gender-affirming care & sexual health resources, and many more activities for the whole family.”

But this is not the only controversial cause Butt has supported.

One of Mr. Butt’s influential anti-school choice operations comes in the form of The Charles Butt Public Education Political Action Committee, which has made donations to 22 political campaigns that oppose school choice. The PAC has received $750,000 in contributions from Butt.

I have no words other than, sick and disgusting.
I Believe in the United States of America as a Government of the people, by the people, for the people; whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed; a democracy in a republic; a sovereign nation of many sovereign states; a perfect union one and inseparable; established upon those principles of freedom, equality, justice and humanity for which American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes.  I therefore believe it is my duty to my country to love it; to support its Constitution; to obey its laws to respect its flag; and to defend it against all enemies.

   Though most Texans who shop at his stores already figured this out, he's been public for the last 2 decades. 
   Remove HEB and many of us will live in a food desert.  HEB ran off all his competitors in many small Texas towns.
No government in the 12,000 years of modern mankind history has led its people into anything but the history books with a simple lesson, don't let this happen to you.

....Charles Butt --- his name is very fitting.

I have a very difficult time believing this.  Mr. Butt has always supported Christian causes.  I suppose this is his son or something......

Howard E. Butt Jr., a billionaire heir apparent to his family’s Texas supermarket empire, who gave up the business to spread a Christian message about the dignity of work and its nexus with faith and built a nationwide following, died on Sept. 11 at his home in San Antonio. He was 89.

Guess the rest of the family is a bit more liberal...

   It is his Family @mrpotatohead

   The founder, Howard Edward Butt Sr., died (1991) a year before Sam Walton and we all know what happened to Wal~Mart. These two just developed a strategy of greasing the Chamber wheels to get your tax rebates and were successful.
