Just got this e-mail from Organizing for America's Texas office. If you're looking to celebrate the anniversary of the election, here's where to go:
Today, Organizing For America–Texas (OFA-TX) announced it would be hosting Election Day Anniversary Reunions on Wednesday, November 4th, all across the Lone Star State. One year after 3.5 million Texans voted for change, grassroots Texans have answered President Obama’s call to stay active and get involved in the process. Understanding that Election Day was just one hurdle, OFA-TX activists are now ready to do the hard work to make President Obama’s agenda a reality. These Election Day Anniversary Reunions will provide activists with an opportunity to reflect on President Obama’s accomplishments and to strategize for the long road ahead.
“One year after making history, OFA-TX activists are still making their voices heard by staying involved locally and engaging their friends and neighbors,” said Luke Hayes, Texas State Director for Organizing for America. “OFA-TX is about friends and neighbors getting involved in the conversation and making certain our elected leaders hear directly from their constituents at a time when Texas, along with the rest of the nation, stands at a crossroads.”

(Metroplex readers, get on out there and stand up for health care reform! - promoted by Katherine Haenschen)
Organizing for America's 'Let's Get It Done' bus has been making its way across the country calling for real health care reform.
On Monday, the bus stops in Dallas for a rally with OFA's national executive director, Mitch Stewart and other dignitaries. Stand with fellow Texans this Monday to show your support for the President's reform efforts. A quarter of all Texans are uninsured, and too many others risk losing insurance if they lose their jobs or get sick. America can do better. The time for action is now.
Location: Gilley's, 1135 S. Lamar, Dallas, TX 75215
Time: Doors open at 11 a.m., rally starts at noon.
RSVP:Click Here
Directions: Gilley's is just south of the Dallas Convention Center on Lamar. Free public parking available. Gilley's also can be reached by taking DART light rail to the Cedars station (red and blue lines). Turn left on Belleview and walk approximately one block north on Lamar (i.e. towards downtown).
