More TX-32 Updates

By Byron LaMasters

Busy week with the Frost campaign, but a couple of quick updates.

Southpaw did some phone banking for Frost tonight, and has a report for us:


Inspired by the recent Texas Tuesday feature, I volunteered for the Frost campaign tonight and heard an interesting bit.

The Lover's Lane United Methodist Church asked Frost and Sessions to meet with them. While Frost accepted, Sessions never answered.

The man is not a good speaker, yet why would you avoid meeting people, particularly in what you would think would be a friendly group?

FWIW, my phone calls turned up more than 3-to-1 support for Frost among undecideds. And I had no good amusing conversations, although one woman concerned me at first when she said that she was a lifelong Republican. Then, she said rather dramatically, "But I went and got me an absentee ballot just so that I could vote for Frost and the Democrats."


Good news there. Also, the latest Frost mailer targets Pete Sessions's tax-payer funded trips to Malaysia, Orlando, Taiwan, China, Russia, Cyprus, Iceland, New Zealand and Australia. Via 100 Monkeys Typing.

Thanks for posting that report from Southpaw. I've done phone banking for Frost several times, and I have had some good amusing conversations. The most memorable being one guy who responded after I identified myself as calling on behalf of Martin Frost with the oh-so-witty quip, "That commie jew?"

This is what we're up against here in North Dallas. Sigh.

Whats this i hear about a Peter Yarro fundraiser?
i thought MF was proud of his Amber law legislation. Yarro is a convicted child molester(1970 with a 14 year old in front of a younger sibling and only 90 days in jail!). Our President Carter pardoned him on his last day in office.

Nice friends MF has. Not my man. not my money.
