Ms. Average Texas Democrat here, letting the rest of the average folks know what you can to for the Texas Democratic Party and all of the great candidates we have.
I'm hosting a house party for Joe Jaworski who is running for State Senate in my district. Joe was my Councilperson when I lived in Galveston, and he knows the difference between Republican values, which are utter hypocrisy, and the real values of real Americans which include helping our neighbors, honesty, true concern for the people who make up our Great State, and a tough, realistic approach to the continuing threat of terrorism.
Money is always needed, and so you give what you can, when you can. I may be an attorney, but I work for the state, so money isn't flowing like milk and honey in my household. My husband is a government employee, too, so our giving has to be meted out in dribs and drabs.
I plan to do what I can for Judge Susan Criss, too. As a defense lawyer, most folks might think that I'd put my limited campaign contributions towards those running in another party. My interest is in justice, though. Real justice that is supported by case law, thoughtful, meaningful, and with a a great deal of consideration towards the human beings involved, and the big picture that is our legal system.
Can you walk your block? Are you a brave soul who doesn't mind phone banking? Can you take election day off and drive voters to their polling places?
Money is not the be all and end all in campaigning. A smiling face, a friendly and informed voice, a word to your neighbors...Those count more than you can imagine.
Get informed and spread the word. Let's make this State as Great as it should be.
