I haven't seen him on this blog since Hurricane Ike... I know he lives in Texas and he was having some health problems... I have been worried about him and thinking about him. Wonder if anyone else has heard from him-- If you have-- Please give him my best

We had a visit from IKE here this past weekend the town I grew up, the town were a great deal of my childhood friends still live and the town which holds so many memories of my youth is devastated. I just got lights back and I got the internet back a few minutes ago it is hard to see my friends in such a state of distress I guess it never occurred to me that one day when I responded to the TXSERT it would be because those so close to my life would be in such a disaster.

Peace to you and yours

Subject: Sign up for Camp Obama in Texas

Dear Xxxxxxxx,

Learn more about Camp Obama My name is Juan Sepulveda and I'm the new State Director for the Obama campaign here in Texas.

I want to tell you about an exciting program we're running here called Camp Obama.

During this two-day session, people like you will be taking their support for this movement to the next level by learning the organizing principles that this campaign and our movement for change are built on.

Camp Obama attendees will receive real world organizing experience that will have a direct impact on this election. Graduates of Camp Obama will go on to become Deputy Field Organizers who will lead this campaign to victory in crucial battleground states around the country.

Find out more about this exciting opportunity to take a leadership role in this movement for change.

By participating in Camp Obama, you'll get the kind of experience that Barack got as a community organizer on the South Side of Chicago, where he learned that real change happens from the bottom up.

That experience transformed Barack's life and made him who he is today.

Camp Obama is your chance to put those very same principles into action -- to win this election and to strengthen democracy in communities around the country.

After completing the program, you'll be required to work as a Deputy Field Organizer in a battleground state where you'll be organizing supporters and helping lead our grassroots Get Out The Vote operation.

Apply for a spot at a Camp Obama near you and become a leader in our movement for change:

This campaign relies on the passion and enthusiasm of ordinary supporters, but it needs leaders who can organize those supporters and turn their enthusiasm into votes on Election Day.

Camp Obama is your chance to step up and become a leader in this movement.

Thanks,

Juan

Obama for America Dear Xxxxxxx --

I wanted to get in touch with you again about the upcoming Camp Obama sessions we're holding in Texas.

As you might have heard, John McCain and his Republican surrogates used their convention to attack Barack and disparage his work as a community organizer.

What they don't get is that ordinary people working together built this movement for change and will lead our campaign to victory in November.

That's why we've had such an amazing response to our Camp Obama sessions so far.

Supporters of all ages and backgrounds, some new to politics and some seasoned veterans, have expressed tremendous enthusiasm for the opportunity to learn the basic organizing principles of this movement and become Deputy Field Organizers in battleground states.

We can't do this without you, and there is still time to sign up. Learn more and apply for a Camp Obama session now.

Thanks,

Steve

Orange and Jefferson County officials order mandatory storm evacuations

06:11 PM CDT on Saturday, August 30, 2008 KHOU.com staff report

BEAUMONT, Texas -- Residents in areas ravaged by Hurricane Rita three years ago began fleeing Saturday ahead of what authorities said would be a mandatory evacuation order as Gustav strengthened into a powerful Category 4 storm.

Gov. Rick Perry, meanwhile, called on Texas to prepare for potentially 45,000 evacuees from Louisiana, where roads began clogging with traffic as a million people took to Gulf Coast highways.

Jefferson and Orange counties in Texas planned issuing an evacuation order at 6 a.m. Sunday, and officials urged people to pack up pets and 10 days worth of clothes and supplies in case Gustav delivered another Rita-like punch to the area.

The National Hurricane Center issued a hurricane watch Saturday stretching from east of High Island, located just south of Beaumont, to the Alabama-Florida border.

Sen. Kirk Watson kicked off a brand new program today-- Click on the following link AdoptAHouseCandidate.com.

This shows just when you think the Republicans and John McCain can't be more out of touch they find a way to show you otherwise. Sorry Grandpa McMunster appointing a token female won't get it done you putz.

It Seems to be moving back East this is an unstable track it will be hard to predict.

 

I am posting this because of an arrogant elitist twit that was upset about me asking people to be considerate of others use the extended post option and not clog the page with extremely lengthy post. Apparently this individual likes being rude and inconsiderate she loves attacking fellow Democrats. I won't name her since she is not that important just another nuisance.

 

We all admire people with a lot of serious issues they wish to discuss however lengthy post consume the blog so I ask please, please use the extended post option just as a matter of courtesy.

 

Thank you

Peace Be With You And Yours
