| First, if you couldn't attend Ann Richards' service at the Frank Erwin Center today, it was really special. Take some time out and watch it online. Everything I could say about it is there.
It was a beautiful ceremony, filled with laughter, hope, joy, and remembrance. I think Ann would have been proud and it balanced near perfectly the activism that was her life with the respect that such a service should invite.
Now is a time to look forward, act with renewed energy, and try to work with a new purpose to fulfill her dream and vision. And personally, I can think of no better start than to elect another Democratic Governor to take up her memory and to replace those who continue to work against progress with those who will work for it.
Let's re-double our efforts, let's recommit, let's take back Texas and give it the New Day that is so desperately deserves. Wherever you are and for whichever Democrat you choose- let's go out, speak some truth to power, and win some elections.
Let's give Ann one more victory for Texas.
I've included a collection of videos of Ann in the extended entry. |
