For those that have not registered with us, please head to our holding page (www.followmetodc.com) and join the mailing list to be notified of our site launch and campaign kick off. On September 13th, we continue with our precinct block walking (thank goodness Dave has had plenty of practice between road marching and marathon running!). On September 15th, we will be attending the Tarrant County Executive Committee meeting to hear about upcoming plans for the 2006 State Convention that will be held in Fort Worth. September 17th will be a full day with Dave serving as a panel member for a discussion on recruiting abuses and alternatives to military service in the morning and we will be attending the candidate framing workshop in the afternoon with Dr. Jeffery Feldman (hosted by www.takingbacktexas.org). That evening, we will take a much needed rest to recharge for the next week!

...and will NO ONE challenge Pete "the Streak" Sessions in TX-32? He can't go unopposed! Make him at least spend some money! The SOB doesn't even make local in-district appearances ("town meeting"? - no way). He's DeLay's man, bought and paid for with the redistricting, and he SHOULD NOT STAY in office! C'mon, Dallas Dems.
