McCaul is asleep at the switch.


by: Kernan Hornburg

Fri Jun 04, 2010 at 09:32 AM CDT




We're going to win this because we have the momentum, a great volunteer base and we've got a plan.

Even the DCCC is paying attention.

"Your Congressman" Michael McCaul has been asleep at the switch, allowing the only defense contractor in the district to lose it's only contract, directly costing the district 5000 jobs.

We're printing these signs and posting them throughout the district. This is only a sample of what we'll be doing with your support.

This is a 100% volunteer campaign. We have a virtual office with zero overhead; no consultants or paid staffers. Every penny we raise goes right into the campaign.

We'll continue to create ads like this;


We've spent zero dollars on our website, graphics design or the ad you saw above and we've just begun.

Do you want to see these types of signs throughout the district, stretched down 290 between Austin and Houston?

Clarification (3.00 / 1)
The McCaul cartoon was done by Rick Bartholomew of Pflugerville and the rights to use it were purchased by an in-kind contribution from Paul Labuda of Austin.  The McCaul legislative record skit was done by Javier Bonafont, as part of the Campaign vounteer staff.  We have more ideas for both the signs and skits, but your support is needed to get the results out where the general voting public will see them.

yay Ted! (0.00 / 0)
On my scholarship application for Netroots Nation, it asked what candidate DFA should be paying more attention to. I said Ted, of course. I just checked on the website & it doesn't show up in the part where people read about you & decide who to vote for (here's me: http://tinyurl.com/25vg356) so since it appears to be for them, maybe they are really paying attention to this informetion. Anyway -- I cannot wait to be rid of McCaul & have a real representative.

After the 2006 Campaign, I was told by members of DFA that they had made a mistake in putting all their bets on John Courage, and they should have given more coverage to TX-10.  It appears that there has been a turnover in DFA and the institutional memory lost.  Of all the Texas seats held by Repubs, TX 10 is the only one not listed by the handicappers as a "strong Republican hold".
