Honor the Killer Ds on Wednesday
By Andrew Dobbs
It is hard to believe that it has already been one year since Byron woke me up with an excited phone call saying that 53 Democratic members of the Texas House of Representatives had slipped out of the state in the middle of the night in order to stop Tom DeLay's ridiculous redistricting scheme. That event really made this blog what it is today- the best Texas political news blog out there (with the possible exceptions of Off the Kuff, Greg's Opinion and several others).
Now the Texas Democratic Party will be honoring these brave members and raising money to keep Tom Craddick, Tom DeLay and the rest of them out of power at Scholz’ Biergarten on Wednesday, May 12, 2004 from 5 pm to 7 pm. The First Annual Democratic Backbone Award will be given out and some great barbecue is sure to be had. Tickets can be bought for $35, Tickets to be recognized at the Friend, Sponsor, Host and Patron levels can be bought for $100, $250, $500 and $1000 respectively. You can contribute online, mail your contribution to 701 Rio Grande Street, Austin, TX 78701, or RSVP by email pay at the door. For questions or information, please contact Evan Hicks at (512) 478-9800.
