Please consider attending a screening! Taking Back Texas is doing amazing work across the state, particularly here in TX-06. Their visionary organization is putting money and work where it counts building infrastructure and formal training. Trainings are available for not just those in our county but anyone wanting to spread the grassroots message and organize those in other counties.
Taking Back Texas has secured the Texas release rights to “Iraq in Fragments,” winner of three top awards at the 2006 Sundance Film Festival. The Texas tour will include screenings in Austin, Dallas, Houston and Fort Worth.

As a Veteran, David chose to highlight a charity every month starting on Veterans Day last year. You can check here for our first or second entries or read some of our others. Please consider giving to one or all of them on behalf of Veterans everywhere.
I received a call from a good friend yesterday and could not believe my ears...how many of us have followed full funding of The Ryan White Care Act? Probably none of us and now the children of Texas need our immediate help. Please take a moment today and consider calling one or all of Rep. Barton's offices. His committee is quietly putting a bill thorough that will gut funding and are only giving a few hours today to take public comment. A rumor exists that there is a rule change being attached that will not allow any further change on this bill once its through, no Senators and no Whips, to prevent public outcry from making a difference.
Yesterday we spent a very rare day without television or blogging…yeah, no kidding. As much as I enjoy the thoughtful discourse and look forward to more, we all should take the opportunity to step away from the TV and put down the various foods we are throwing at GW when he speaks.
In case it’s too much for you to think about, try some of our favorite ways to chill at the flip.
I hope you do well tonight. I don’t know how to email you directly but since you are a liberal minded guy, maybe this will find its way to you. If not, maybe you Google yourself from time to time and if I am lucky enough to come up on the first page or two, maybe, just maybe, you will click on through. George, I am writing you because I need you.
As campaign season begins to take off here in Texas, there is already a rather heated discussion over the use of Union printers. Any chance I get, I take an informal survey of all sorts of people in these discussions. What better format to do so, I thought, than asking the community their opinions and regular practices where you live.
