Dear fellow Democrat,
With the election less than eleven months away, the race to take Texas back from failed Republican leadership has begun in earnest. Texans all over the state have been embarrassed by the antics of Republican Speaker Tom Craddick, who has time and again shown that his top priority is maintaining his own "absolute power", while thousands of children continue to go without health care, college tuition spirals out of control and the price at the pump continues to rise.
As Texas Democrats, we know it will take a Democratic Majority and a new, Democratic Speaker if we're going to move Texas forward. We're only five seats away from taking back the Texas House and bringing responsible leadership back to Austin.
With your help, we can win this year and put an end to Republican failure and incompetence by electing Democrats from the county courthouse to the U.S. Senate.
We have updated and upgraded the TexasVAN, our online voter file system, which enables our candidates, activists and county chairs to run top-flight field programs. And we are aggressively raising the funds to turn out Democratic voters in every region of the state in November.
These investments have already paid off. Texas Democrats have picked up two State House seats since the last election, thanks to Representative Kirk England's courageous decision to become a Democrat, and Representative Dan Barrett's tremendous victory in last month's special election.
With your contribution today, we can carry this momentum all the way to victory in November, and elect a Democratic majority that will work for every Texan, not just the well-connected.
Together, we can win in November.
Thank you for your support. I know that with your help, we can elect outstanding Democratic candidates and move Texas forward.
Your friend and fellow Democrat,
Boyd L. Richie
I'm sure Boyd Richie knows that Aaron Pena voted for Craddick. Mr. Richie should kick Aaron out of the democratic party. He's telling us one thing. Then Aaron does another.
Email the democratic party today! Ask them to kick Aaron Pena out of the Party.
