(You certainly can't complain about a shortage of things to do tonight in Austin as the State Convention delegates arrive. - promoted by Karl-Thomas Musselman)
 It's time for Texas Democrats to come together to defeat John McCain and take back the White House for the Democrats!
To help encourage party unity, Obama and Clinton suporters are teaming up to host a "Unity Pub Crawl" tonight to welcome statewide convention delegates to Austin. Both the Obama and Clinton campaigns are hosting parties at nearby bars on Red River Street, and the goal is to encourage Texas Democrats to intermingle and kick-start the unity process.
This Unity Pub Crawl is within walking distance of the Hilton Hotel, so come join us tonight as we "paint Red River Street blue"!
When:
8:00pm - midnight
Thursday, June 5
Clinton Anchor Party:
Bull McCabes Irish Bar
714 Red River St
Featuring Hillary Harp Pints and Irish Mules with a Clinton Kick
Obama Anchor Party:

| UNITY STATEMENTS FROM OBAMA & CLINTON LEADERS Rep. Mark Strama - Obama: "We can't afford another four years of the politics of division that have characterized the last eight years. We need to come together as a country to make a change. Our party is much stronger after having a high-energy primary that hit all 50 states and beyond."
Rep. Eddie Rodriguez - Clinton:
"I supported Hillary Clinton's presidential bid, but I am a Democrat first. I proudly support Senator Obama for President of the United States now that he is the presumptive nominee. People all over the country have shown their passion during this primary, and it's that passion will allow Democrats to take back the White House."
Amy Everhart - Obama:
“I’ve been an Obama supporter since before he started running for president and have been with him every step of the way. But I have many friends who are Clinton supporters as well. I am looking forward to welcoming supporters of both candidates to Austin this weekend to unite and have a great time at the convention and to win in November.”
David Holmes - Clinton Superdelegate:
"I have never seen excitement like this in a Democratic primary before. It is incredible that voters in all fifty states and beyond have had a say in this. There is no question that this has been healthy for our party and I know we will all join forces under one big tent to get Barack Obama elected to the presidency.” |
