| As noted in many newspapers and magazines in 2008, such as Texas Monthly and The Nation, in 2010, if Democrats are willing to rise to the challenge, Texas will have to opportunity turn Blue.
Electing a Democratic Governor will not be easy, but the journey of a thousand miles begins with the first step. When Barack Obama announced in 2006 that he was running for President, he seemed like a long-shot, but after months of hard work and determination, we will have a Democratic President.
2008 was a victory for Barack Obama, but it was also the beginning of our journey toward a Democratic resurgence in Texas.
On January 20, 2009, Democrats will gather in Lampasas to celebrate the Inauguration of Barack Obama and to think about the road ahead. Speaking will be Bob Gammage, former US Congressman, Texas Senator, State Representative, and Supreme Court Justice, and a candidate for Governor in 2006.
We hope you will join us on the Square at My Girl's for a dinner of roast chicken, complete with sides, salad, and dessert, served compliments of the Democratic Women and the Young Democrats.
The festivities will commence at 6:00 PM with a social hour and an address from our honorable speaker. At 7:00 we will watch Barack Obama's Inaugural Address, and at 8:00, Daniel Melder, our county chair, will hand out awards to our most invaluable volunteers and benefactors.
Guests from Burnet and Llano Counties will also be in attendance, making this an excellent opportunity to meet Democrats from our surrounding counties and talk about moving Texas forward.
Tickets are $15.00, but the event is free to Sustaining Members. To become a sustaining member for as little as $10.00 a month, contact Casey Norman
Remember, we need your support to pay filing fees for candidates, buy yard signs and bumperstickers, and to pay for events we all enjoy, like the Annual Labor Day Picnic. Your donations make the Democratic Party in Lampasas possible and becoming a Sustaining Member or attending this event, you will be showing the Republicans that the election of Barack Obama was just the begining, and we are ready to fight for the change Texas needs in 2010.
