Texas Tuesdays
By Karl-Thomas Musselman
This week, courtesy of Texas Tuesdays, (the Coalition of the Willing of Texas Bloggers), we are brought the story of Candidate Jeanette Popp, running for Texas House District 99. Her story is an incredible one and not like the usual run of the mill politico.
A native of Azle, Texas, Jeanette has come from being married at 14 and homeless at 15, to being a nationally sought speaker and the Democratic candidate for Texas House District 99. She exhibits a determination usually reserved for prize fighters and NBA superstars. Petite, blond and feminine, there is a toughness about her that there is no mistaking. She's no quitter. She's in this fight until the end.

"You have to start with the children. A child can do anything he or she is taught to do. Children can be taught to read or can learn to rob. They can be taught to hate or can be taught to love. When they are children, that's when you have the opportunity to give them what they need to success in life."
Read the entry here and then donate to her campaign.
