My Fellow
Democrats:
As I write this
message to you tonight it has become apparent that the race for Texas
Democratic
Party Chair has become a race for the most endorsements. Who gets who
seems to
have become the logic of today’s politics. I believe the true race for
Party
Chair is in the hearts, minds and souls of our people. I have been lucky
enough
to receive the support from numerous grassroots activists but this race is
not
about endorsements, but rather what YOU WANT THE PARTY TO BE. It’s
about
change, the everyday person, it’s about uniting urban and rural Texas,
winning
elections and most importantly it’s about giving the Party back to the
People.
A Republican can
not win the Presidency without carrying Texas. So goes Texas, so goes the
Presidency and so goes the public policy of our nation. While our
Republican
administration is talking about “immigration” reform they seem to have
forgotten
about more pressing matters such as education, healthcare, foreign policy
and
our economy. The opportunity for the Democratic Party to take the lead on
the
real issues that affect our everyday lives, and for the TDP to educate
Texans on
the positive alternatives our leaders offer, is now!
Our “NEW
BEGINNING” starts with one person which grows to a precinct, a county
and
eventually spreads through the entire state. Who we elect for TDP Chair
determines how this process is implemented. I believe that our Party
should be
run from the bottom up, not the top down; providing the necessary
resources and
support structure to all precinct chairs through our county chairs.
With new
leadership our Democratic Party will return to its roots as the Party of
the
People, not the chosen few.
In the spirit of
Justice, Equality & Freedom,
Charlie Urbina-Jones
Candidate for Texas Democratic Party
