Burnt Orange Report

John Courage Site Launch

By Karl-Thomas Musselman

I wanted to make a post to highlight the really top notch job down by some tech friends of mine who redesigned and launched the new John Courage for Congress website. (Refresh the page or delete the cache if you still see the old one). Included on the front page is a fundraising idea that I had my hand in, with a concept of challenging the two population anchors of the district to outraise each other.

Take a look around, and donate some money, as John has already started hitting the phone and hired fundraiser Jeff Hewitt of Austin's Hewitt Consulting (which has done work for John Sharp and Richard Morrison more recently). The first e-mails have gone out and there is also a blog which bears some checking out as regular BOR commentor David Mauro seems to be writing alongside Mr. Courage himself!

I'm encouraged by what I've seen and how fast to organize this campaign has been. It's going to be professional and serious while having a huge grassroots component to it. I've already donated $25 and I know it won't be the last. DeLay and Chet Edwards aren't going to be the only shows left in Texas...
