Hey DFA!


Chances are you've already gotten email about this, but just in case...

Mark Warner's "Forward Together" PAC is holding a poll that closes at 2AM central time tonight for the most map-changing candidates. Two of our Texas candidates -- Chris Bell and Barbara Ann Radnofsky -- are already in the top 5 and will receive $5,000.00 from the PAC. We have a chance to put another great Texas candidate John Courage in the top 5 as well. He's hovering from #5 by about 10 votes right now.

If you're awake and checking your email (and haven't done it already), please vote for John Courage in the #1 spot at:

www.forwardtogetherpac.com/mapch...

This could bring a lot of online dollars to our Texas candidates. People who read blogs like DailyKos and MyDD (a few million people) will know that Texas Democrats are alive and kicking!

Thanks, and see y'all next week. Have a great 4th!

Hello Everyone,

Judge William E. Moody, Democratic candidate for the Texas Supreme Court will be speaking at the Texas Tech School of Law (in the forum) on Wednesday March 29th at 12pm (lunch will be provided). He will be speaking about the judicial selection process in Texas, and some possible changes that can be made to better that process. He will also speak about his campaign which promises to be fun and unconventional. The campaign's major feature will be Judge Moody personally walking across Texas. I have included his bio below. Please come out and support Judge Moody when he comes to Lubbock. If you have any questions please send me a message or call me at (915)873-3498. Thanks, hope to see you all there.

Respectfully,

Joe Moody
