(I'm a policy geek, so I love things like working on the platform the way some of you may love polls, direct mail pieces, and Robin Cravey's hats. Add your input in the comments. - promoted by Phillip Martin)

Living in the State capitol I was able to mosey on by a meeting of Legislators and party activists charged with revising the 2006 Texas Democratic Party Platform. Among those present were a former State Speaker of the House and other former Committee Chairmen.
Since my special interest is reform of campaigns and elections I raised my hand to be on a committee of 5 to revise the section of the platform focused on "Protecting Democracy" The text of that section is below.
I invite your comments with the rare assurance that they will be heard by people who can actually do something about it. However what ends up in the final draft will be decided by consensus and a vote of Party Delegates.
