San Antonio Young Democrats

Monday, October 30, 2006

Election Day is in 8 days.

We have 8 days left to ensure Lamar Smith will be in a run-off, and not Congress, on November 8. On Election Day, November 7, John needs 2 people working each our 50 most heavily-trafficked polling places. John needs 25 people on the phones all day, calling Democrats and telling them to go vote. And he needs 25 people out knocking-and-dragging, getting Dems to the polls. We need not rest until the polls close at 7pm on Election.

We are dividing the day into 3 shifts (whether you are working the polls, phonebanking, or blockwalking): 7am-11am, 11am-3pm, and 3pm-7pm. Pick the shift that works best for you and tell us, or work the whole day. In addition, REGARDING THE BLOCKWALKERS, WE ARE PAYING 25 BLOCKWALKERS $7.50/hr each. (These block-walkers will be walking high Democratic precincts and shuttling Courage supporters to the polls).

We have already gotten commitments from many people: volunteers who have been with us from the beginning; people who haven't found the time to give throughout the campaign, but realize Election Day is a last crucial chance to make a difference; students who have class in the morning but can help during those last, heavily-trafficked hours of the day; professionals who are using their legally-allotted voting time to work the morning shift (because they voted early and don't need it!); seniors who are giving up their lunch hours to work at a polling place; people who are responding to the DNC's suggestion to take the day off. But we need all of you.

Anyone interested in supporting a worthy cause and making money in the process???

We're looking for 10-12 people to make a four day commitment to phone-bank and make $10 an hour.
Shifts would be from 10am-6pm everyday starting Tuesday Oct. 31st and ending on Friday Nov. 3rd. Or any time that anyone would be willing to commit to in that time frame.
Anyone fluent in Spanish is encouraged to apply. Though speaking Spanish is not a requirement.
The phone banking would take place at 1405 N. Main Ave. 78215.

If anyone is interested please contact Jon Coffey at 210.857.6407.

Help get fellow Democrats out to vote on Election Day

Joe Farias, Democratic candidate for State Representative in San Antonio, is looking for excited and energized Democrats to help get fellow Democrats out to vote on Election Day, November 7.

We will be paying $100 for the day, $50 for the half day.
If you can't work these times, just shoot us an e-mail or give us a call and we'll work with your schedule. Must be available for training this weekend (Nov. 4 or Nov. 5).

If interested or have questions, please contact the Farias Campaign HQ at 210-923-7500 and ask for Cliff, or email Cliff at cliff@joefarias.com.

TEXAS DEMOCRATIC VETERANS ENDORSE JOAQUIN CASTRO FOR STATE REPRESETATIVE DISTRICT 125

The Texas Democratic Veterans whole-heartedly endorse Joaquin Castro for re-election as the State Representative for District 125. Representative Castro has truly been an advocate for Texas Veterans as his door is always been open for our concerns and issues. He has always been proactive visiting Veteran Service Organizations such as the San Antonio American Legion Post #2 listening to the Veterans and family members talking about ways to enhance our wellness. For example, Joaquin has agreed to support the Hazelwood Legacy Act where if passed next legislative session this will help many of the children of Texas Veterans received educational benefits from our State Public universities and colleges.

His opponent dropped out for unknown reasons from the prestigious university, the Citadel, the Military College of South Carolina, even though he received an taxpayer funded AFROTC College scholarship to attend.

We respectfully ask you to support Joaquin Castro, a man of commitment to the military, veterans and family members.

Respectfully,

LAWRENCE G. ROMO, Lt Col USAFR (Ret.)
State Chairman, Texas Democratic Veterans
USAF Academy Class of 1978

TEXAS DEMOCRATIC VETERANS ENDORSE JOE FARIAS FOR STATE REPRESETATIVE DISTRICT 118

The Texas Democratic Veterans enthusiastically endorse Joe Farias for election as the State Representative for District 118. A lifelong resident of House District 118, Joe Farias has an outstanding record of achievement serving his community and our country. After graduating from McCollum High School, Joe volunteered for the US Army in 1968 and served three years in Vietnam and Berlin, Germany. Joe learned the values of loyalty, integrity, and service. Joe is the best-qualified candidate with his years of service on the Harlandale School Board.

Joe has visited numerous Veteran Service Organizations in the District 118 area such as American Legion and the VFW Posts listening to the Veterans and family members with their issues and concerns. Joe has agreed to support the Hazelwood Legacy Act where if passed next legislative session, it will help many of the children of Texas Veterans received educational benefits from our State Public universities and colleges.

His opponent failed to influence Kay Bailey Hutchison as her assistant during his tenure and allowed the dismantling of many medical services to our Veterans at the VA Hospital in Kerrville and allowed the lack of optimal VA medical services to our Veterans in the Rio Grande Valley

Joe will fight for optimal federal and state Veterans benefits. We respectfully ask you to support Joe Farias who is a true advocate for the Military, Veterans and family members.

Respectfully,

LAWRENCE G. ROMO, Lt Col USAFR (Ret.)
State Chairman, Texas Democratic Veterans

Gubernational Debate

Friday, October 4, four of the five candidates for Texas Governor debated for the first and only time. James Werner, Libertarin Candidate wasn't invited. Republican Incumbent Rick Perry, Democratic Candidate Chris Bell and Independents Richard Friedman and Carole Strayhorn attacked each others views on toll roads, education, taxes and immigration.
Our Democratic Candidate Chris Bell came on strong, his attacks on Strayhorn and Perry were detailed facts and were denied by both. Bell focused on education and the necessity for a better education system while slamming Perry's "our education system is fine" statement.
Indenpendent Friedman made a joke, literally, out of politics and our government. He first described politics "Poli means more than one. Ticks are blood sucking parasites." Friedman also made a statement that he is a "realist" and it is ok to make racists statments while in politics.
Independent Strayhorn was attacked repeatedly for changing parties and positions on a daily basis. She also had to defend why she has taken over $1 million from companies who wanted tax breaks from her agency. But again she denied the allegations.
Perry defended his 'crooked' education system, Trans-Texas Corridor plans, tax cuts and immigration plans which were all lies. They were finely defined by Strayhorn when she attacked Perry but forgot to put her name on the creditors list.
In the end, if anyone, in this great state, watched the debate between the candidates, the best choice for our next Texas Governor will be CHRIS BELL.
