Howard Dean in SA and the DNC Hispanic Leadership Summit
By Andrew Dobbs
I don't know that we've mentioned this yet, but the DNC's annual Hispanic Leadership Summit will be held in San Antonio from August 5th through the 7th at the Hyatt Riverwalk Hotel. This is the third year for the event, which seeks to bring Latino leaders from across the United States together in order to brainstorm ways for the Democratic Party to serve and harness the power of the Latino community in the United States today.
Many prominent Latinos-- including elected officials, activists and community leaders-- will be present and Chairman Howard Dean will be there as well. The event does not cost money, but the DNC is asking people to contact them at (202) 863-8000 in order to gauge how many people will be coming. Past events in Orlando and Albequerque have been big successes and most expect San Antonio to have more people than either of the previous summits. See Dean, talk politics and learn what must be done to maintain the Democratic Party as the majority party of the US' fastest growing ethnic group.
This will be a pretty exciting opportunity, especially for San Antonio Deaniacs. Spread the word far and wide so we can get as many people at this event as possible.
UPDATE: Meant to say this in the original message, but forgot. Be sure to send this information out to your friends, family or colleagues who might be interested in attending. Let's show the rest of the country that when it comes to leadership, Texas is the place to look.

I like the idea of StepUpTexas.
And rumor has it that a nominee listed on the site, and in my opinion, our best chance for taking Dist. 47, is out.
Reports from the SAD meeting indicate that Knaupe has pulled out of the race. He says coming off the council race and diving into this one is too much time from his little kids and he doesn't want to miss out right now.
We should all hope to see him in down the road. He's a keeper.
