John Edwards at UT Monday Oct. 24th

By Katie Naranjo

Sen. John Edwards will speak to UT this Monday, October 24th, at 2:00pm in the Texas Union Ballroom. Doors open at 1:30pm. Edwards will discuss what Texas students can do to fight poverty.

*DO YOUR PART TO FIGHT POVERTY IN AUSTIN NOW: By dropping school supplies off at the door to support Project HELP, an East Austin initiative that supports homeless and hurricane displaced youth, you can do your part!

Project HELP is desparate for graphing paper, index cards, wide or college rule paper, dividers, kinder pencils (fat pencils), red checking pencils, pencil pouches, and spirals!

If all you can bring is 1 PENCIL, BRING IT! We will be grateful for anything.

I hope to see you and your school supplies at the Texas Union Ballroom on Monday! See www.opportunityrocks.org for ticketing info.

Oh, and if you had an accident lately and the other person was at fault, don't forget to bring your hospital bills and bills for other expenses incurred, so that trial attorney John Edwards can give you a free legal consultation.
John Edwards seems to get a kick from referring to himself as "the son of a steel millworker," but you wouldn't know it by how much he has milked his clients as a trial lawyer, working the legal system with his frivolous lawsuits from his pre-Senate days.
And while I'm at it, let me introduce to you my version of "two Americas" (the phrase that Attorney Edwards likes to kick around): there's an America where a group of about 200 people in tye-dye shirts believe the crap that comes out of his mouth. There's another America with people that know what's up Edwards' sleeve.

Barely any doctors have seen any sort of reduction in their rates since tort reform passed, and those that have only saw about 5% of their overcharges decrease. Health care is just as expensive for Texas patients, and the insurance companies are the only ones that have beneifted from tort reform. So sayeth the Texas Department of Insurance.

Time to get some new talking points, Trey...

Go 'Stros!

Trey:

You might want to go over to the Quorum Report and catch up on your reading.

THREE EXCELLENT TEXAS MONTHLY PREVIEWS
As per our agreement with Texas Monthly, these links will be active until 11 tonite
Paul Burka's monthly column: HAMMER TIME, Yes, Tom DeLay is wretched. But does he deserve to be brought down by gotcha ethics laws?

Mimi Swartz's in depth feature: HURT? INJURED? NEED A LAWYER? TOO BAD! Two years ago, rich and powerful Texans said lawsuits were ruining the state’s economy and needed to be fairer. Today, thanks to tort reform, they are fairer— for business. Ordinary people are out of luck.

Patti Kilday Hart's story WHO IS JOE BARTON? Is the Republican congressman who passed the new energy bill a partisan hack or a bipartisan compromiser? The answer is about as clear as the skies over his district.
