In Texas we need help to oust Republicans, I got an email from Boyd Ritchie, we need to get rid of John Cornyn and replace him with Rick Noriega. Here is the the email so if you can afford it help.

Thanks

 

Dear fellow Democrats,

In March, a record-shattering 2,874,986 Democrats voted in the primary, more than double the number of Republicans who turned out. Later that night over a million Texas Democrats attended their Precinct Convention and in just a few weeks more than 15,000 will gather in Austin for our State Convention. 

 
While Republicans have tried to claim that these numbers are a fluke, you and I know different - these numbers are a sign of the times of great things to come for Texas Democrats.

In fact, all across our state, Democrats are excited and mobilizing their friends and neighbors for the election this November, and Texas Republicans are running scared.

Two recent Texas polls prove that our Democratic candidates are running strong and that voters are ready for change. In fact, John McCain and John Cornyn can't even break 50% in our home state of Texas; a state that Republicans say is a GOP stronghold.

With your help, we can turn these numbers into victory in November as we take back our state.  Click here to join me contributing $10, $25, $50 or $100 today.
 
In all my years of working as a County Attorney and now State Party Chair, I've never seen so much enthusiasm and have been humbled by the outpouring of support and work. You've never let me down before, and I know you'll stand with me again now at this pivotal moment for Texas Democrats.
 
Join the Texas Democratic Party with a contribution of $10, $25, $50, $100 or even more!
 
The numbers are on our side, but we haven't won yet.

With your support, the Texas Democratic Party will be able to continue to lay the groundwork for victory from the White House to the county court house by training candidates, providing resources to grassroots activists and ensuring that all Texans cast their ballot for Democrats.

With your support, we can make this an extraordinary election for our state and our country.
 
Your friend and fellow Democrat,

Boyd
Boyd L. Richie

Chairman

I've been supporting Noriega

since he entered the picture. We need to oust the neocons and VoteVets is one of the best organizations I leverage. My son moved to Austin a few years ago and I've enlisted him to work on Noriega's behalf also.
  
I had made a contribution in the past

but, because of everything I've been reading on the blogs lately, I deeded my house to Ralph Nader, gave him my car, and most importantly transferred all my PB points to him. I no longer have the funds to contribute to Democratic candidates.
  
Red state?
By TexAnne May 17th 2008 at 10:26 am EDT
For a state that is historically red, those numbers are awfully close. I'm loving every minute of it.

Don't forget that Chet Edwards is up for reelection in the House. He is THE champion for Veterans. www.chetedwards.com
