Get involved!

My precinct is a blue collar community, but it is red red red. The people vote against their best interests. However, it is starting to become more diversified. We have Asians, Mexicans-hispanics (?), African Americans. So, hopefully things will be changing in our favor soon.

The biggest problem here in Texas in regards to our State being red, it is only red because the Democrats don't bother voting. It boggles the mind that that is the state of affairs here.

I just attend the Come Together Fight Back rally with Michael Blank and Bernie Sanders. Sanders speech sounded somewhat the same as Barack's message. Not sure why their is so much disinformation/misinformation about Bernie here, however, I do have a good ideal why it is happening. SAD!!!

Oh and back in March at our CEC meeting we elected 56 new Precinct Chairs. That was so amazing to be a part of that and to witness so many wanting to get involved. It renews my hope!!!
