As Republicans brag about how aggressively and swiftly they took care of Mark Foley, supposedly "forcing" him to resign (ya, sure); news from other sources tells a tragically different and surprising story about those controlling our government, for far too long now.
With every day that passes, more evidence comes to light proving that too many Republican lawmakers, including its leaders, knew about Foley wooing our below-the-age-of-consent pages, the young wards entrusted-fully to Congress' care and protection, by equally-innocent parents.
On Tuesday, October 10, Democratic candidate Rick Bolaños, who received almost twice as many votes in the Texas 23rd congressional district March primary as his opponent Henry Bonilla, will hold a press conference at Veronica's Nachitos Restaurant, 8783 Wurzbach Rd., San Antonio at 10:00 AM (210-691-0815).
The conference will expose Henry Bonilla and other Republicans for their cynical ploy of running their Republican supporters in the 23rd congressional district Democratic Primary.
(This is interesting in that it may drain votes away from Bonilla which is the major goal that must be accomplished to force this race to a runoff. - promoted by Karl-Thomas Musselman)
In what Democrat Rick Bolaños called "a Coup and a further erosion of key support for Henry Bonilla," Rick Bolaños announced in Del Rio that he has received the endorsement of the National Farmers Union, an organization with a strong history of endorsing Republicans.
The union, officially called the Farmers Educational and Cooperative Union of America, is a general farm organization with a membership of nearly 250,000 farm and ranch families throughout Texas and the United States.
