Hello DFA!


Our regular Thursday meeting today (10/5/06) will be at the usual time and place -- 7PM at Lubbock County Democratic Party HQ at 74th and Elgin. Our agenda includes setting up a screening of "Iraq for Sale" later this month as well as planning for get-out-the-vote activities in the first week of November. It will be a good one -- short, sweet, and effective!

After the meeting we will meet for coffee at J&B Coffee on 26th and Boston, as we did last month. If you can't make the 7PM meeting, we will be at J&B by 8:15PM. Join us there for invigorating talk about what else could go wrong for Republicans this election cycle. :)

7PM @ HQ to meet
8:15PM @ J&B to energize!

Hello DFA!


Texas Democratic Women (TDW) is doing training sessions Saturday the 9th at 2pm (today), and Wednesday at 6:30pm at Lubbock County Democratic Party headquarters (74th and Elgin). The objective is to learn how to do online phone banking using True Blue Action Tools and update the Voter Activation Network (VAN). The phonebanking would help all of our local campaigns.

It is also fun! The TDW folks need at least 4 people at each session to make this work. Please consider going to training today (sorry about the short notice) or Wednesday.

Let's get some $$ for Texas Democrat candidates!

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!
