TX-Sen: Out of State View

I don't live in Texas.

But I want to tip my hat to BOR regardless. Thanks for kickass coverage this primary and effective activism -- even if there is still more to do against Craddick and company.

It now comes down to Lt. Col. Rick Noriega. I, for one, am confident John Cornyn is going to get one giant shitburger of a race. After the jump is why I contributed another $25 to Noriega -- it has nothing to do with him winning the nomination.  

In my view, the only neighborly thing to do for all us not-Texans, is to step it up likewise for Noriega. So I made another contribution to Rick Noriega.

I remember back in the 2005 Paul Hackett Special Election, when the Texas blogosphere united to start a fundraising drive under the headline of calling Major Hackett an honorary Texan.

Claiming the title of an honorary Texan is no easy task, but sending some coin to Rick Noriega is a good start of those of us out of state.

An activist outside of Texas will never be able to do anywhere near what all of you are doing. So we'll contribute here and there and make phone calls and be damn proud to do what we can so that all of you can take back Cornyn's seat and give it to the people of Texas.

I'm not the only one pulling for you!
